Aborted
Sven de Caluwe: "Wet farts and vegan poop"

Alcest
Neige: "For me it is just Alcest, the musical vehicle for my childhood experiences. I cannot say it is black metal, I cannot say it is prog, it is just different."

Animals As Leaders
Tosin Abasi: "We actually hardly practice at all."

Aspherium
Bjørn-Tore Erlandsen: "We are very thrilled about all the good vibes that we have gotten after releasing our debut album."

Beehler
Dan Beehler: "It’s a pretty twisted album. Not being in Exciter, Beehler gives me the chance to do something totally different and I set out to do a journey of music that went through all different sides of metal. "

Bent Sea
Dirk Verbeuren: "In the end, I really just want people to have a blast with Bent Sea, literally, haha!"

Biohazard
Billy Graziadei : "It was the first time in our career that we let someone come in so close to the inner circle of the band during the creative process."

Blind Guardian
Hansi Kürch: "There has never been a period in our career that we pretended to do something; we were always very honest and stood behind what we did. Therefore it doesn’t make much difference if a song is recorded for example fifteen years ago, or two years ago."

Dodecahendron
Michel Nienhuis: "Omdat we momenteel redelijk in de belangstelling staan worden we gedwongen om over de toekomst na te denken, en dat is precies wat we nu aan het doen zijn. "

Elks
Donald Stewart: "Then of course the night before we go into the studio everyone gets too drunk and wakes up the next morning hungover and drinking too much coffee."

Eluveitie
Chrigel Glanzmann : "We try to mix death metal with folk to give our own interpretation to the old musical heritage. That is how traditional folk music survives."

Fatum Elisum
Asgeirr: "We recorded all the vocals in the church of Cailly."

Fuck The Facts
Topon Das: "We recorded the entire our album ourselves. We haven’t done that in a long time, and it was a lot of pressure to make sure we didn’t fuck it up."

Giant Squid
Aaron John Gregory: "Giant Squid needs no explanation and is easy to remember."

Harmanic
Tommy: "But never mind, we’re taking it positively: we’re going to use the beautiful summertime to dedicate ourselves to song writing in our windowless, dark rehearsal space."

Killerfix
James Fitzpatrick: "I think the change from CD to digital has been all about “when” and not “if”."

Legion of The Damned
Maurice Swinkels: "You have to have in mind that this release is something personally, also for Twan’s children."

Lorenguard
Brady Sadler : "I smoked a whole lot of role-playing games and 1980’s fantasy movies, rolled up tight in several thousand pages of literature by George R.R. Martin and Steven Erikson. "

Maybeshewill
Band: "We design a lot of our own merchandise and artwork, record all our music ourselves and try to be self-sufficient. I think it’s a healthy way to work as a band."

Mortician
Patrik Lercher: "It doesn’t matter how many bands there are out there; if you make good songs, they are welcomed and I would not call it a battle either."

Mystic Prophecy
RD Liapakis: "The new Mystic Prophecy album has got balls, power, melodies, fast and mid-tempo songs, anything a metal fan needs to be happy."

Persona Non Grata
John Ioannidis: "But the major characteristic that makes a leap "quantum" is that this leap from point A to B is made without passing through any of the points between A and B. So, how is this all related with Persona Non Grata?"

Psycroptic
Jason Peppiatt : "I think the isolation of Tasmania somehow plays a part in what makes us have a unique sound."

Rising
Henrik: "This might sound weird since we released To Solemn Ash not too long ago but we actually spend most our time these days writing new songs!"

Sear Bliss
Andras Nagy: "I believe progression is fundamental for any music."

Shining
Jørgen Munkeby: "We mix structured parts and freer parts, both on top of each other, and also after each other. That is one of the things I feel is important in our music, and a thing that I want to bring with us in the future. To me, this is the essence of jazz, and a thing that makes us a jazz band, even though we don’t always sound like a jazz band."

Slime In The Current
Stowt: "Yes, the word bleak could also be applied to a description of our lyrical content. If you consider lecherous ritual rape/drunk whore rape, burning villages to the ground and kidnapping their young, upper echelon Christian domination, world war front line slaughter, mass religious brainwashing, and life-crippling anxious despair as bleak lyrical content, then yes."

Steelwing
Alex: "On a personal level we became alcoholics and discovered we’re gay! Haha, no, just kidding."

The 11th Hour
Ed Warby: "Ik heb mezelf regelmatig vervloekt tijdens het opnameproces dat me zo’n acht maanden van de straat en vrijwel alle sociale bezigheden heeft gehouden. Ik ben ook nog eens een vreselijke perfectionist én bij vlagen enorm onzeker, kan nachten wakker liggen om de kleinste details, en ik ben dan ook zo goed als ongenietbaar."

The Browning
Jonny McBee: "I started The Browning as a solo project five years ago when I was sixteen but was to young to ever actually do anything besides MySpace. At the time all I listed to was European hardstyle!"

Wo Fat
Kent Stump: "But really, Wo Fat, to me, is taking that 70’s thing and the blues thing and just really cranking the amps and going all out with it, which is where my heart is. "
