I interviewed Erik from  MÅNEGARM  about the "Legions of the North" album, Spanish tour and future of band... 01. Hi Erik! So much MÅNEGARM news lately! New album, and your first Spanish tour that is over now… How did the tour happen ? Yes, the stone is rolling!! : ) The Spain tour was really good. We had three good shows in Madrid, Zaragoza and Barcelona and the organization was great and the audience was awesome! 02. Musically speaking, do you have some opinions about the local bands that opened your gigs ? I listened to Northland a couple of songs every night. I think they are really good; good riffs and really nice melodies. I didn’t listen to the other bands but we met them and they were really nice people! 03. How was the crowd there ? Amazing crowd! They sang along to the songs and banged their heads, just like a Månegarm concert should be like :-)

I interviewed MOSS OF MOONLIGHT . Enjoy the reading! :) 01. Hi Jenn! Hi Cavan! You two are the only members inside MOSS OF MOONLIGHT band. Who's the main composer ? Jenn:  Cavan composes just about everything (so you can blame him for all the 12+ minute songs…), except for the female vocals--I write those (and often the male, as well), and the drums and percussion,  of course. 02. What bands influenced yours ? Cavan: The Moon and the Night Spirit, Agalloch, and Myrkgrav. Jenn:  Fejd, Katatonia, and Dead Can Dance.  Also, for me personally, Pain of Salvation's drummer,  Léo Margarit (which might seem a bit odd, considering the difference in genres.  Oh well...).

I interviewed Dmitri Petras from the band about the next WOLFMARE album, his interesting personal life and more. 01. Hello Dmitri! Before the year of 2013, you told your listeners that you were working on the new WOLFMARE album. Is the album recorded now ? Yes, the album is recorded. Moreover, mixing was finished several days ago. 02. What left to do on that album ? The only thing left is a mysterious procedure, called mastering. Already recorded and mixed songs are to be driven to a sound that is comfortable for the audience. Everything will be louder, stronger and less clear. Something will be better and something poorer. Loudness war is not over. And of course the album needs some artwork – the cover, the booklet, some pictures, and all other things that will be inaccessible for ordinary mp3 users from the Internet. 03. Can we know the name of the future WOLFMARE ? Yes, it’s a high time to proclaim it loud and proud. It is called (tada!) “The Sacred Mushroo...

As I promised when I built the DELIRIUM thread.  I interviewed their vocalist, Manuel Hiller regarding the upcoming EP, and more. 01. Hi Manuel! From winter 2012, you entered the Basement Media Productions to record your forthcoming EP. I know you shared one studio's video (see above) but tell me how happened the recordings ? Hi! Well, the recordings happened quite smooth... no big problems... we've changed a small part for one song, but the others went good. Every single member knew exactly what to do, so no problems appeared. Our Producer Daniel Bäuerlein came up with some great Ideas, so we used more guitars or effects in some parts, so this piece is absolutely Awesome.... We're very pleased with the results. 02. Can you reveal us the name for that EP ? The name of the EP is "Das Erbe der alten Zeit" which means "the heritage of the old time"
