Interview by Kris PetersLet's be honest for a second. When you hear that Karnivool is touring, your ears instantly prick up. They are the undisputed kings of Australian progressive rock, a band that makes complexity sound like second nature. But when the tour announcement dropped, the words Car Bomb and TesseracT were slapped on the bill alongside them, things suddenly took an even bigger turn for the better. This isn't just a concert line-up; it's an absolute musical assault on the senses.HEAVY has always loved music that challenges you—the kind of tracks that don't just sit in the background but grab you by the throat and force you to pay attention. That is exactly what this tour is going to do. If Karnivool is the masterclass in sonic atmosphere, deep groove, and sweeping, emotional melodies, then Car Bomb is the chaotic entity sent to tear the room to pieces before the headliners even touch the stage.For the uninitiated, Car Bomb doesn't just play metal; they weaponise time signatures. Their style is a dizzying, frantic, and claustrophobic mathcore that feels like a glitching supercomputer trying to punch its way out of your speakers. Pairing their jagged, laser-guided ferocity with Karnivool's lush, towering soundscapes and the wizardry of TesseracT is a stroke of absolute genius. It's a beautiful contrast between absolute, calculated chaos and pristine, progressive beauty.HEAVY sat down with Car Bomb's guitarist Greg Kubacki to find out more. One of the topics of discussion is how Car Bomb find the balance between styles and genres in the creative process."I do the majority of the writing these days," Greg replied. "Back in the day, it was all of us working together in a room, but now we all have responsibilities, so I do the majority of the stuff. When the song starts, I start with an idea and put it on the shelf for a month or two and come back to it and see if I like it. And if I like something - whether it's technical or it's knuckle-dragging, really simple stuff - I'll just start working on a song from there.When I run out of ideas, that's when I usually know a song's done. Or if I put the song again on the shelf for another month and listen to it, and I don't find anything wrong with it, then I'm like, okay, it's good. But usually we have so many ideas that we're always working on. It's not like the movie Amadeus, where we're just writing it out, and it's written in five minutes (laughs)."In the full interview, Greg explains why it has taken Car Bomb so long to make it to Australia, how he prepares to tour a country for the first time and what they are expecting. He talked about the live show and what to expect, including what three songs people going to the show should listen to in order to get to know the band and music more.Greg ran us through difficulties in transforming the musical complexities into the live arena, as well as finding the balance between styles in the creative process. We spoke about the early days of Car bomb and the musical climate that gave birth to the band, the first time he heard one of his own songs on the radio and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Ali WilliamsSpanish melodic death metal force BLOODHUNTER returns on June 12 with their new album, Sons Of The Abandoned. It has been both a long wait and a very deliberate one for the band. Four years have passed since the band's previous album, and while fans have been understandably circling the release date like metalheads around a merch table with limited sizes, BLOODHUNTER have not spent that time idling around waiting for inspiration to knock. “It's been a long wait until we finally release the album,” vocalist Diva Satanica explained to HEAVY's Ali Williams, adding that the response from fans has already been overwhelming. “We are very thankful for that.”For Diva, Sons Of The Abandoned is not simply another BLOODHUNTER record with the distortion turned up and the emotional damage left to fend for itself. This time, something shifted. The music still carries that death metal edge, but the album and its inspiration step into more exposed territory lyrically. Diva admits that previously she had hidden behind the metaphors in their lyrics, but this time the writing became more direct. “It has been different this time,” she explains. “Usually, I feel like I hide myself behind the metaphors. It's difficult when you play death metal to find this balance between speaking about things that everybody has in common, but without sounding too cheesy.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Kris PetersDrowning Pool's multi-platinum debut album, Sinner, celebrates its 25th anniversary with a special reissue via Craft Recordings, marking its release date on June 5. First unleashed in 2001, Sinner remains a towering monument of the nu metal era. It quickly rocketed the Dallas-based heavy metal band into global stardom, debuting at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 and achieving RIAA Platinum status within its first six weeks. At the absolute centre of the album's cultural impact is the explosive hit single, Bodies. Instantly recognizable by its blunt, repetitive, and devastating opening riff, the track became an omnipresent cultural staple. It has soundtracked countless action sports videos, movie trailers, professional wrestling promos, and festival mosh pits and has been a life mantra for countless fans around the world. Alongside Bodies, standout tracks like Tear Away and the aggressive title track Sinner gave the record its thematic weight, exploring internal conflict and religious pressures. Sinner was also the first, and only, Drowning Pool album to feature original vocalist Dave Williams before his tragic passing in 2002 and remains the benchmark for debut albums across all genres.With the Anniversary issue out this Friday, and Drowning Pool preparing to hit the road where they will be playing Sinner in full, guitarist and founding member CJ Pierce has donated some of his time to chat with his Australian family about the album and plenty more. One of the topics of discussion was Williams and the emotions that invariably arise when Sinner is mentioned."Dave Williams was such a great human being, and he was excited to play rock music," CJ reminisced. "And just the stuff you don't think about, man, because life is just going, going, going. So it's been a time of self-reflection. And then us going over all the songs on the entire record. I'm excited to play this live, and I've been re-inspired by it, all three of us. And we just started writing all this new stuff.We walked into the studio with all these ideas we've been working on all year long, and all of a sudden, it's just like, it just started pouring out of us, man. So, I'm super excited about this song because we've been really inspired by the first record, and we're here doing it. The other thing that's exciting is we haven't been able to play the record in its entirety in so long. So the hardcore fans that have been with us get to see that again. And then there's a whole new generation of teenagers to 20-year-olds that are coming out that are finding nu metal again. So, for us to be able to play this record for them, for them to see it after so much time is super exciting. So, I'm all jacked up about it, man. I can't wait."In the full interview, CJ ran through his memories of making Sinner, their hopes for how it would be received and the weight of a massive commercial success. He reluctantly picked his personal favourite song from Sinner, running us through stories on a number of the songs and how they came into being.We discussed the limited edition vinyl release of the album as well as the three bonus tracks on the digital release, including Rob Zombie's The Man Without Fear. Drowning Pool's upcoming tour was mentioned, as was the possibility of an Australian tour early next year. CJ spoke of his fondness for Australia and the relationships he has built here, before moving on to new material and what we can expect and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Angela CroudaceAfter more than two decades as one of metalcore's most respected bands, August Burns Red are finally heading back to Australia this September, and drummer Matt Greiner says the excitement from fans has been overwhelming. Speaking ahead of the tour, Greiner revealed Australia will be the first country to experience a full headline run celebrating the band's upcoming album Season Of Surrender.Greiner admitted the response to the announcement caught him off guard, comparing it to the excitement the band experienced when first touring internationally in the late 2000s. “It felt like that level of excitement again,” he shared, reflecting on the flood of messages from Australian fans eager to welcome the band back after such a long absence.The veteran drummer also opened up about how surreal it feels to still be connecting with audiences after 23 years. These days, Greiner is not only performing to longtime supporters, but also teaching drum lessons to the children of fans who grew up with August Burns Red. He described it as both humbling and rewarding to see the band's music continuing to inspire a new generation of heavy music fans.Family was another major topic during the conversation, with Greiner speaking warmly about balancing life on the road with being a father. He praised his wife for supporting the demanding touring lifestyle and shared how much it means to have his family behind him while continuing to chase opportunities around the world.Matt also expressed excitement about touring alongside rising Australian acts Bloom and I Promise The World, explaining that helping younger bands grow is something he deeply values. Looking ahead to September, he promised Australian crowds energetic shows, genuine fan interaction and a celebration of the connection that has kept August Burns Red thriving for more than two decades.Check out the full interview for plenty more...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Kris PetersThis August, Tasmania's finest export, extreme metal pioneers, Psycroptic join like-minded-and-saxophone-wielding US progressive death wizards Rivers of Nihil for a co-headline tour that brings together two elite bands operating at the highest tier of modern death metal.For Psycroptic, the timing couldn't be stronger. Off the back of relentless global touring alongside the likes of Dying Fetus, Ne Obliviscaris and Six Feet Under, the recently released singles, Architecture of Extinction and Falling, plus their ninth studio album set for a mid year release via Metal Blade Records, the band continue to prove why they remain Australia's most respected technical metal export more than two decades in.Fellow Metal Blade label mates, Rivers of Nihil arrive riding the momentum of their 2025 self-titled release, a record that tightened their sound without losing the scope that has defined them since Where Owls Know My Name. Now fronted by bassist Adam Biggs, the band's current form is more potent than it ever was.Joining them on all dates are Melbourne's psychologically charged Growth who are on the eve of releasing part two of their highly anticipated album trilogy, Under The Under, and Sydney's uncompromisingly brutal, Slaughtercult, rounding out a bill that is equal parts precision, atmosphere and outright savagery.HEAVY caught up with Biggs to find out more, starting with what has changed with Rivers Of Nihil since they were last out here in 2023."Since then we've put out a new record that we did last year," he measured. "It's our fifth studio album and a self-titled record, and is the first one with yours truly on on vocals alongside our new guitarist, Andy Thomas, also providing his soaring clean vocals and such like that. So it's a mix up in the lineup of the band, but I think we've put together a strong cluster of songs, especially to bring to the stage."With the tour being billed as a co-headline event, we ask Biggs if that means themselves and Psycroptic will alternate playing last each night or whether it means something else."I think we're playing the same length set," he replied, obviously unsure himself. "I can't remember if we are alternating or not, but I'm fairly certain it's Psycroptic closing the show for the most part. I mean, we're on on their home turf and they're the national Australian death metal band so it's hard to argue with that (laughs)."In the full interview, Adam spoke more about the tour and what to expect, including having the final date at Necrosonic Festival in Brisbane. We talked about what fans can expect, as well as his recent transition to frontman and how easy that move was for him.Their latest self titled album was mentioned, including which album song was the most challenging to learn to play live and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Verslag van een exotisch festival is voor Osmium - de zwaarste podcast in het Nederlands - bijna net zo'n vaste prik als afleveringen over jaarlijstjes en publieksprijzen. Na een betonnen safari in Manchester, parkeren tussen de beren in Roemenië en gastronomische verzetjes in Kortrijk, wordt reikhalzend uitgekeken naar de bestemming van de Osmium metalvakantie van 2026. Die hoge verwachtingen rusten dermate zwaar op de schouders van babbelaars Niels en Pim dat ze de handdoek maar in de ring gooien en besluiten thuis te blijven. Nu de bestemming dus Indoornesië en Tuinzania blijkt te zijn, wordt gezocht naar manieren om de festivalweide de huiskamer in te halen. De redding komt in de vorm van de liveplaat, wellicht het minst besproken muzikale format in Osmium. Het blijkt echter een rijke voedingsbodem voor interessante discussies. Is het de ultieme meetlat waarlangs bands gekeurd dienen te worden of is het juist het zwarte gat van een discografie? Hoe belangrijk is bijbehorend beeld, merkbaar publiek en degelijke opnamekwaliteit? Hoe rekbaar is het begrip anno 2026 wanneer liveregistraties ook verschijnen in de vorm van studio-opname, livestream of telefoonvideo met bonusvinger voor de lens? Daarmee verschuift de vraag van waar Osmium dit jaar naartoe gaat naar wat er overblijft als je een concert van zijn plek, publiek en moment losweekt.

Interview by Kris PetersThis week the global rock underground is shifting its focus Down Under as Norwegian stoner rock prodigies Slomosa touch down for their first-ever Australian headline tour. Armed with their critically acclaimed album Tundra Rock, the Bergen-based quartet is prepared to bring a sonic avalanche to local music venues.Dubbed the "New Kings of the Stone Age" by critics, Slomosa has captured global attention by bridging continents with their self-coined genre, Tundra Rock. Their signature sound seamlessly fuses the classic, sun-baked distortion of the California desert rock scene with the icy, atmospheric weight of their Nordic homeland. The result is a monolithic wall of sound packed with Kyuss-style riff worship, grunge-laced hooks, and a relentless punk energy. This devastating live reputation is no mere internet hype; the band has already spent years leveling massive European festival stages and earning public praise from legendary heavy hitters like Helmet, Mastodon, and Alkaline Trio. This lightning-fast, three-night headline run promises to turn local rooms into sweaty, high-octane mosh pits. Joined by Australian heavy-rock mainstays Khan, the tour kicks off on Friday, 22 May at Max Watts in Melbourne, moves to Crowbar Sydney on Saturday, 23 May, and wraps up at Crowbar Brisbane on Sunday, 24 May. With tickets selling fast and Aussie fans eager to witness this sonic collision of desert heat and Arctic frost, this is a landmark debut tour you cannot afford to miss. HEAVY caught up with frontman Benjamin Berdous on his day off to find out more. We spoke about what the band are doing in their down time, their excitement to finally make it to Australia and their determination to leave everything on stage.Benjamin talked about playing smaller, more intimate venues as opposed to larger festival stages, their nightly mission when they hit the stage, mixing songs from the bands two albums into a setlist and more.Tickets www.thephoenix.auBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Kris PetersGargoyle of the Garden State, the highly anticipated debut solo album from Skid Row co-founder and bassist Rachel Bolan, releases on 12 June 2026 via earMUSIC. Stepping into the spotlight under the moniker BOLAN, this record marks a monumental milestone in the musician's four-decade career. Driven by a desire to craft something entirely his own, Bolan handles the vast majority of the recording duties himself, taking over lead vocals, bass, and most of the guitar tracks.Rooted deeply in the grit, attitude, and storytelling traditions of his New Jersey upbringing, the album is a high-octane sonic journey. Musically, it breaks away from standard hair metal conventions, leaning instead into a raw, hook-driven fusion of punk rock energy and melodic sensibilities. Bolan weaves a lifetime of diverse influences into the tracklist, drawing inspiration from Britpop, glam, new wave, and 1980s John Hughes cinema, even incorporating a sitar on the distinctly pop-punk track Memory.Though it is a solo venture, Bolan shares the experience with an impressive, star-studded lineup of close friends and peers. Listeners can expect guest appearances from legendary artists like Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), Steve Conte, and Damon Johnson. Furthermore, Bolan's Skid Row family - including Scotti Hill, Dave "Snake" Sabo, and drummer Rob Hammersmith - lend their talents to various tracks. Ultimately, Gargoyle of the Garden State serves as an uncompromising, honest reflection of Bolan's true musical identity, balancing serious, reflective songwriting with an undeniable, upbeat rock-and-roll party atmosphere.HEAVY sat down with Bolan to find out more, asking him to describe what he was going for musically with the album."I was just going for a raw feel," he explained. "This record sums up me and what's going on in my head, you know, and it was fun to play guitar. I played all the rhythms and the bass, did most of the singing and then had a whole bunch of friends come in and contribute, which meant the world to me."We ask why now, after more than 40 years in music, is the right time to make a solo album."You know, I didn't find the time. The time kind of found me," he smiled. "We had downtime with Skid Row while we were searching for a vocalist and I had a bunch of songs. I kept writing through the whole process and it was more it's not now or never, but now would be a good time (laughs)."In the full interview, Rachel speaks more about Gargoyle of the Garden State and the songs on it, reflecting on the two singles released to date and if they are a good sonic representation of the album as a whole. We talked about lead track Anything But You and why it was chosen as first introduction to his solo work, plus the influence New Jersey and its way of life had on the album.We talked more about the guest artists and why they were chosen, having his Skid Row bandmates on there and why, the title and where it comes from, playing these songs live and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Ali WilliamsMetal legends Andy La Rocque (King Diamond) and Nils K Rue (Pagans Mind) hooked up with HEAVY Mag's Ali Williams to chat about their new project Lex Legion and their new album. Joining La Rocque and Rue are Pete Blakk (King Diamond), Mikkey Dee (King Diamond, Scorpions, Mötorhead) and Hal Patino (King Diamond). Lex Legion's debut album is set for release on June 12, and while the band may be newly announced to the world, the machinery behind it has been grinding away for years. What began as riffs and ideas between Andy and Pete back in 2008 was left sitting in the heavy metal vault for a while, not forgotten so much as waiting for the right moment to come stomping back through the door wearing boots. That moment arrived during the pandemic, when the world had been forcibly unplugged and musicians, like the rest of us, suddenly found themselves staring at time like it was an unfamiliar household appliance. Pete started writing again, played some material for Mikkey Dee, and the wheels began turning. Mikkey heard something worth chasing, Andy was pulled back into the fold, and what had once been a half-shelved idea began growing teeth. From there, the lineup expanded with Hal Patino joining the project, before the search began for the right voice. There were names considered, big ones too, but Andy already had someone in mind. Having worked with Nils K. Rue years earlier, he knew the Pagan's Mind vocalist had the right kind of power, range and character to carry what Lex Legion were building. Mikkey agreed fairly quickly, apparently needing only to hear Nils before deciding that, yes, that was the bloke for the job. Convenient, really, when the singer turns out to be the missing piece instead of another three-month committee discussion.The result is a band that may be fresh on paper but is hardly operating on beginner settings. These are players with serious history behind them, but Lex Legion has no interest in being a nostalgia project or a backdoor continuation of King Diamond. Andy was clear that while the connection between members is obvious, the intention was never to clone the past. King Diamond is its own beast. Lex Legion, he explained, needed to be something separate. That distinction matters. The album carries the spirit of late '70s and early '80s heavy metal, the kind that still had grease under its fingernails and a pulse you could feel through the floor, but it is not trapped in a museum cabinet. Andy described the material as less complex and less progressive than some of the old King Diamond work, with more emphasis on flow, melody and straight-up heavy metal punch. In other words, it knows where it came from, but it is not standing there waving a faded flag and yelling at clouds.Lex Legion does not sound like a file-sharing experiment held together by Wi-Fi and optimism. It sounds like musicians who know each other's instincts, know when to push, and know when not to smother a song under unnecessary cleverness. The first single, Sleep Eternally, has already landed with a response that surpassed Andy's expectations, and with another single due before the album, the early signs are strong. The band is not rushing straight onto the road, though. Mikkey's commitments with Scorpions keep him busy through much of the year, so touring is more likely to become a serious discussion for next year. Importantly, Lex Legion is not being treated as a studio-only side quest. Andy made it clear that live shows are part of the plan when the timing lines up, and there are already ideas forming for a second album. Ambitious, yes. Reckless? Maybe a little. But metal has never exactly thrived on sensible office planning. As for Australia, Andy admitted he has never made it down here with King Diamond, though other members have done the trip with their respective bands. The prospect of Lex Legion eventually making their way Down Under was warmly welcomed, and judging by the appetite here for heavy metal with roots, weight and actual identity, there will be no shortage of people ready to greet them with raised horns and mildly concerning enthusiasm. Lex Legion now stand at the beginning of their own first chapter, albeit with a few veterans at the wheel and absolutely no need for learner plates. The debut album arrives June 12, Sleep Eternally is already out in the wild, and if the early reaction is anything to go by, this is not just a side project shuffling politely into the room. It is old-school heavy metal with fresh intent, built by people who know exactly what they are doing and, mercifully, are not interested in polishing all the bite out of it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Kris PetersKnown for redefining genre boundaries, Prompts have built a reputation for masterfully fusing elements of nü-metal, mathcore, djent and deathcore, crafting a sound that is entirely unique to them that feels both experimental and refined. With members hailing from both Japan and South Korea, the band's dual heritage continues to shape their distinctive sound - a melding of contrasting influences and cultures.Continuing to prove themselves as one of metals most exciting up and coming acts, Japan-based metalcore outfit Prompts tread new ground on silky smooth new single "Death of Me", out now via Greyscale Records in partnership with Papercut Records (US).Leaning into a more subdued and atmospheric direction, "Death of Me" sees the band trade thrashing undercurrents for a slow-burning sense of yearning. The track lingers and aches, built around a deeply human contradiction - the kind of love where wanting the best for someone means convincing yourself to walk away. "One part of you swears letting go is the right thing to do, while the most honest part of you is quietly begging for the exact opposite," says the band. Ultimately, "Death of Me" unfolds as a confession confronting vulnerability and embracing softer truths. "It is about finally facing the softer, weaker parts of yourself you were trying to hide, and admitting that all you really wanted was to stay close to the person who never left your heart.”HEAVY sat down with frontman PK while he was in Australia as guest vocalist for Crystal Lake to find out more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

TRIGGER WARNING: violence against womenPower dynamics distort consent in ways the Metal scene rarely acknowledges. In this episode, Kiki welcomes international touring photographer and law‑trained advocate Faye S. to discuss many of the cases of sexist abuse within the Metal community and why legal systems alone can't stop harm.Together, we examine why cancel culture isn't real, how microaggressions, slut‑shaming, and other “normalized” behaviors quietly enable far more serious violence. We also plead for real accountability in a community that prides itself on inclusivity.

Interview by Angela CroudaceOne can't overstate the size of the FEAR FACTORY boot print on the neck of heavy metal. Unleashing influential albums with devastating anthems for 35 years now, they are widely recognized as both crucial and innovative in extreme metal circles. FEAR FACTORY manufactured, demanufactured, and remanufactured a sound that reverberates across several subgenres. They perfected an explosive blend of staccato paint-stripping riffs, industrial- tinged drums, electronic flourishes, and a scream/sing dichotomy, all of which became staples in heavy music, ever since the group first emerged in L.A.Celebrating 35 Years Of Fear, FEAR FACTORY are dialing in a Cybernetic Domination of Australia for their first full headlining tour in 10 years and finally for New Zealand, they perform for the first time since 2012!The signature sounds, concepts, and passions remain, as FEAR FACTORY salutes its past, present, and future. HEAVY caught up with guitarist Dino Cazeres to find out more."We've been coming to Australia since 1993," he began. "This is gonna be our 15th time there, and I can't wait to get there. We have a huge catalogue of songs to sift through and create a perfect set for a killer live show in Australia."Fear Factory often deal with subjects of dystopia and control, the rise of the machines being a dominant landscape. Which begs the question, does Dino see the world today as closer to those themes than when the band first started?"100%," he nodded. "And I believe we are at fault, you know what I mean? We're the ones who are allowing this to happen. Sure, there are higher people who are making these kind of executive decisions and developing this technology, but a lot of the stuff that we sang about in the past has definitely come to fruition, and it's just… this technology's gonna keep on evolving."In the full interview, we covered Fear Factory's current creative state, touring plans, and forthcoming releases, with Dino explaining his songwriting and performance perspective. Dino described himself as a rhythmic writer who composes riffs with drum patterns in mind and said he writes whatever he feels, whether melodic or brutal; he noted his performance approach and enjoyment of entertaining fans remain consistent with his work since the 1990s. The conversation addressed touring improvements, and emphasized that studio collaboration keeps the project enjoyable and motivating. Dino confirmed that new singles and a new Fear Factory record will be released soon and directed fans to fearfactory.com for tour dates and VIP packages and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Kris PetersSydney's genre-defying rock titans, HELLIONS, are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their ARIA-nominated, career-defining album, Opera Oblivia, with a massive Australian tour in May 2026. Full details below.Opera Oblivia is the album that smashed expectations, redefined the boundaries of Australian heavy music, and delivered a phenomenal #4 debut on the ARIA Charts. Declared a "genre great" by the wider music community for its sheer theatricality and ambition, Opera Oblivia cemented HELLIONS's reputation for innovation and audacious songwriting. From the explosive, anthemic hooks of 'Quality of Life' and 'Thresher' to the intricate, dramatic beauty of its theatrical movements, this record is a modern classic.HEAVY sat down with frontman Matthew Gravolin to talk more about the album and tour. One of the things we ask is if the band had any difficulties learning the whole album to play live, given that when they wrote it initially chances are there was no plan to ever have to reproduce the entire release."We have done it once before," he measured. "I think it was in 2016 at the Oxford Arts Factory in Sydney, from memory. We did that record front to back. Obviously, it was a very long time ago now, so I can't remember how it went. From a vague memory it felt good, and obviously it has been a very long time now, and there were some things that we hadn't anticipated playing live so there are a couple of little challenges in there. But for the most part what we have rehearsed at the start of the year and at the end of last year felt really good."In the full interview, discussion covered rehearsal timing and technical challenges reproducing older material live: identifying a few passages that present "little challenges" when translated to the live performances. The conversation also addressed Opera Oblivia's career impact on Hellions, with Matt describing how the record's unexpected success expanded opportunities, increased pressure, and contributed to burnout that factored into his 2019 departure. The reunion was characterized as a revitalized era built on long-standing bonds and renewed creative energy, and the band intends to continue writing new material after the tour.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Kris PetersTHE NARRATOR were founded in 2017 in Essen, Germany and have since established themselves in the German metalcore scene with energetic songwriting and electrifying live performances. After successful tours and festival appearances, THE NARRATOR released their highly anticipated debut album, Lore, in September 2024, which has now accumulated over 11 million streams, and led to a huge EU/UK support tour with Annisokay at the end of 2025.And that was just the beginning: On May 8, 2026, their second studio album Phosphor will be released, once again mastered by Ted Jensen (Sterling Sound – Bring Me the Horizon, Green Day, Korn, and many more). With ten songs that respond to the global crisis with inner exhaustion, Phosphor shows how close hope and self-destruction are to each other.HEAVY sat down with frontman Fabian Jochum to find out more."Absolutely exciting," he smiled when we ask how he is feeling with the release date of May 8 drawing near. "Finally it's close to when the album is going to be released and I couldn't be more excited."We ask Fabian to dive into the musical side of Phosphor and what The Narrator were going for with it."After our first album Lore we wanted to change our sound a little bit," he measured. "What was cool about that album was basically Tom and me wrote it, but on this one another person from Cologne that helped us write the album. Not actually writing songs, but helping us to improve and evolve our sound with more… if I call it electronic influences it maybe gets the wrong point, but there's a lot of noise stuff happening that makes the whole sound of the album more huge. The whole recording process was fun because we structured everything different from the album before because we had way less time than before. We are absolutely happy with the result. We definitely pushed the boundaries of the genre. Of course, we are a metalcore band but for us we created a sound that we like to listen to."In the full interview, Fabian talks more about the musicality of Phosphor, how it differs to their debut Lore, the importance of changing things up despite the success of Lore and how The Narrator are better at what they do now.We spoke about the early days of The Narrator and where they fit in, their decision to tour relentlessly before releasing an album, future plans and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Kris Peters“Each Armored Saint record, to me, is like a new skin for the band, a different chapter. I don't think we've ever repeated ourselves,” stated bassist Joey Vera. “Every album has been pretty different from the previous one, a snapshot in time. In 2026, Emotion Factory Reset is where our heads are at.”Emotion Factory Reset, Armored Saint's ninth full-length studio album since 1984's March of the Saint, bears out his words, the LP a resurrection of sorts, a tearing down and a rebuilding in 11 songs of diverse musicality and lyrical themes. Produced, as were the previous four albums, by Vera and mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour), Emotion Factory Reset finds the quintet challenging themselves. Songs like Close to the Bone, Hit a Moonshot and Every Man-Any Man has Saint honoring their past as one of the most respected and recognizable bands in heavy music while making forward-thinking music rooted in the present.As with 2020's Punching the Sky, Armored Saint are always about punching above their weight and succeeding. Emotion Factory Reset reaches further, both inward and outward. “I mean, there's never gonna be another Master of Puppets or Appetite for Destruction,” vocalist John Bush says. “We can all take inspiration from our previous records, but that was a different time. Armored Saint don't want to make another March of the Saint. I want to keep moving forward, but we know who we are, it's not like we're going to dish out the new trip hop, black metal, bluegrass album.”HEAVY sat down with Vera to dig deeper."You know, every time we make a record, I try not to think too much about that," he replied when asked to describe what the band were going for musically with the album. "Like what are we going to do? What kind of a record are we going to make? Or what direction are we going in? All that stuff. I don't like to really talk about it too much. Because for me, it puts on a little bit too much expectation; it puts like a boundary on it and I'd rather the playing field be able to just be wide open.So the only thing that I really was attempting to do this time was to write songs that were a little more concise in their arrangements and the song length. I have a tendency to write long songs; longer songs than normal. So I wanted to challenge myself and challenge the listeners along the way to see if I could write shorter songs, basically, for lack of a better explanation.Our goal is to really just challenge ourselves as songwriters and try not to make the same record twice. We're always trying to push the boundaries a little bit without alienating all our fans, of course. So there's a fine line between brilliance and stupidity (laughs), but there is a fine line between and paying homage to where we come from."In the full interview, Joey described the band's deliberate songwriting approach for this record, noting they intentionally wrote shorter, more concise arrangements while pushing stylistic boundaries and maintaining continuity with their past work. He explained the album balances influences from 1970s classic rock, early 1980s hard rock, and contemporary sounds to produce a fresh yet familiar record for longtime fans.Joey also described the album-title selection process, saying the title came from a line in the song Close to the Bone after the band considered many lyrical options before settling on Emotion Factory Reset. He reflected on the creative challenge of beginning a record, stating that starting the first songs is the hardest part and that inspiration requires sustained effort and patience, the early days of the band and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Voor het vijfde jaar op rij is Osmium - de zwaarste podcast in het Nederlands - aanwezig op het Roadburn festival. In die tijd hebben Niels en Pim als vaste babbelaars van alles geprobeerd om de aflevering erover fris te houden. Brakke dagboeken, zelfverzonnen fantasiefestivals, combinatiebezoeken met Paaspop... Voor de uitverkochte editie van 2026 besluiten ze een nieuw perspectief aan boord te halen en redacteur Friso opnieuw uit te nodigen (een unicum!), nadat hij vorige zomer al te horen was in de aflevering over het Alcatraz festival. Zodoende hoor je in deze Osmium ook de perspectieven van iemand die al sinds 2008 naar Roadburn gaat. Uiteraard staat het drietal uitvoerig stil bij specifieke optredens die zorgden voor een lach of een traan (of allebei), maar bij een intrigerend evenement als Roadburn kan een holistisch perspectief niet ontbreken. Hoe was de balans en reikwijdte van de line-up? Is het nog wel zo ongedwongen? Hoeveel experimenten kan je aan op een dag? Waar komt de kracht van een optreden vandaan? In het verleden is Osmium kritisch geweest over de slogan “redefining heaviness”, maar het festival zet in ieder geval aan tot denken. En na deze editie lijkt zelfs voorzichtig geconcludeerd te worden dat het festival de post-coronavisie definitief heeft waargemaakt... Met beeldmateriaal door Ruth Mamphuys en muziek van Inter Arma.

Words and interview by: Kyra JadeEven if you chose the hermit crab life, you've still most likely heard the name Sepultura. They aren't strangers around here and have been showing us how it's done for over 40 years. Their fanbase are notoriously passionate and loyal to the band often stating they are not only pioneers, they are one of the most influential metal bands in history. You'll only need to scratch the surface of Sepultura's lore to see the influence they've had on metal music over the years, never afraid to bend genres and play from the heart.Sadly all good things must come to an end and after years of dedicating themselves to life on the road, it's time for their final curtain call. Long standing Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser was kind enough to spend time with HEAVY MAG to reminisce about memories spanning from the start of the band to recent times.Their Celebrating Life Through Death farewell tour has been in motion for two years now and I wanted to know how the whole experience has been so far and if fans are showing up with different emotions being their last soirée. Andreas unpacked their upcoming EP The Cloud of Unknowing by sharing what their goals were for this release to how they went about the writing and recording process. I was curious to hear about Andreas' influences and gain insight about growing up in Brazil with minimal exposure to international bands - yet still manage to find his calling to metal. Once that phone is ringing, it's hard not to pick up!It would be remiss and down right irresponsible of me not asking about the Roadrunner United 25th anniversary showcase, right? On paper it seems impossible to have so many talented musicians coming together to pull off this one of a kind meeting of the gods, but they did. I'll confess, I would have sacrificed my first born child to be at that showcase and hearing these memories spoken about with such love and fondness via Andreas was like Christmas morning for me.After reminding myself that I can't fan girl or geek out right now, we finished the interview off bonding over mutual love for our fallen heroes. I mentioned my Mt. Rushmore would have to be Jimi Hendrix, Ozzy Osbourne, Eddie Van Halen and of course, Lemmy Kilmister. Without hesitation Andreas lit up and uttered a sentence that immediately cemented him as a certified legend in my books,“Motorhead is alive and well in my heart and soul forever, until I die. Lemmy is one of the gods you know? He is going to guide us forever.” I couldn't agree more. In fact, to summon Lemmy; all you need is a well made Jack Daniel's and coke with a side of cigarette smoke and he will appear quicker than saying Beetlejuice three times. Best spirit guide anyone could ask for. I've done what I always do by getting too excited and over sharing… go check out the rest of the interview for yourself. I hope you enjoy it.Until next time, legends!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Heute lassen Simon und Hanno mal wieder den Vorhang fallen und geben tiefe Einblicke in die vermeintlichen Schattenseiten des Berufsmusikerlebens. Es geht um Momente des Scheiterns, des Aufgebens, vielleicht sogar des alles hinschmeissens - und ob das immer das große Drama ist, nach dem es klingt.
