21 Eyes Of Ruby
Martijn Soeterbroek : "Because you know what the big problem is, when you’re self-managing your band? It gets you away from the core action: makin’ damn good music."

Amorphis
Niclas Etelävuori: "After telling the fans that we’re making a DVD for years and not coming up with one really pushed us to make it a good one."

Another Perfect Day
Kohle: "The mood of my music has nothing to do with the mood of my life but nevertheless there's nothing that warms my heart like a desperate minor cluster played by a bunch of distorted guitars and somebody screaming! Yummy!"

Asphyx
Bob Bagchus: "Niet technisch genoeg? Lazer dan maar op. Asphyx zal altijd Asphyx blijven zolang we nog bestaan!"

Blood I Bleed
Shantia: "Buy our records; good stuff and cheap!!"

Blood Revolt
A.A. Nemtheanga: "Modern mainstream metal has lost it’s teeth."

Celeste
Johan: "Downloading and Internet made people listen to music and go to shows very often, so they should be grateful."

Cephalic Carnage
Lenzig: "There is always going to be someone bigger, better, faster, more brutal. We'd rather let those guys take on that challenge and we will just play music."

Coliseum
Ryan Patterson: "You could phrase it as Misfits to Danzig, Minor Threat to Fugazi, Negative Approach to Laughing Hyenas, Birthday Party to The Bad Seeds, Southern Death Cult to The Cult… The list could go on forever."

Crowned In Earth
Kevin Lawry : "As I wanted to change musical direction I thought that the best way to do this was under a new name so the band could have its own identity."

Dawn Of Demise
Bjørn Jensen : "Heaviness is the key!"

Death Angel
Rob Cavestany : "I am definitely not a big fan of boats. I get fuckin’ seasick pretty easily. We are supposed to be on that thing for four days. I am looking forward to playing and checking out a lot of great bands and have some fun. I just hope that I won’t feel fuckin’ seasick and feel shitty on that thing. Plus that I am not a big fan of being on a fuckin’ ship like that for multiple days."

Debt Of Nature
Marcus Italiani: "Principally I think that we’re all fucked. "

Deteriorot
Paul Zavaleta : "The Earache invasion of 1989/1990 and the Scandinavian Explosion that followed is what made a huge impact for myself musically. "

Disgod
Ogrish: "We recently played at deeply disguised night open air in the middle of a forest. Everything was powered by a diesel generator. Can you imagine, we did not even know how to get there until the last moment, because the organizers did not want the police or KGB to come and cancel everything!"

Distant Past
Adriano Troiano: "We have not had the need to look for a label, yet. I think most labels need something that is easy marketable. Distant Past is very diverse, we are different, so they might not know how to sell the album."

Divinity
Sacha and Sean: "It was a fuck ton of work and I was locked in my basement for about eight months without sunlight."

Garden Of Worm
Sami Harju: "As for an image, you're right, that is something that we don't think about much!"

Hero Destroyed
Zach Moore: "I think the words I used to describe what we were looking for was “an acid trip but without the rainbows."

InfiNight
Martin, Marco, Dominique, Kai and Hendrik: "We have sent both of our albums out to several independent and even major labels, again, but so far none of them has showed interest - despite the excellent reviews. Looks like we may need a little more luck there..."

Issa
Isabell Oversveen: "I guess that it took me some time to find my way so to speak."

Judas’ Wolf
Joop Lammerts, Collin Burgemeestre, Fon Sanders, D: "Het refereert in die zin dus niet naar namen als Judas Priest en dergelijke."

Magion
Arjen van der Toorn: "How he’s capable of doing that is hard to express in words, let’s just say that he has got the X-factor for that!"

Magnolia
Ronny: "People don’t buy records anymore and there is much to few places to play live so that’s a pity."

Marulk
Danne, Thomas & Esben: "We wanted a classic seventies vibe in the sound, as well as in our live sound and show – a no bullcrap, no overproduction, all-out physical rock experience. "

Mhorgl
Louis Rando: "I believe all religions are a petty game of spiritual manipulation for the benefit of the organizations which create them. "

Mojobone
Per Wiberg: "It’s important to step out of the comfort zone to get that extra spark and also to learn something on the way."

Mose Giganticus
Matt Garfield: "Sometimes the sound person freaks out when they see me setting up."

Mosfet
Marc Gruber: "…a man who is haunted in his dreams by a little girl he murdered!"

NeverDream
Gabriele Palmieri : "Unfortunately a lot of heavy metal bands use commercial stereotypes and as I told you: a little forcing makes for a sterile work of art."

Otargos
Dagoth: "God is a fucking HOAX, death is just simply the END."

PBII
Ronald Brautigem: "The addition of Harry meant that a bit more melody was brought into the band. We’re also still the same guys from Plackband so some things are still recognizable yeah. Nothing wrong with that at all."

Pensées Nocturnes
Vaerohn: "I’ve no musical training and I think the simplicity and the eccentricity of Pensées Nocturnes would make laugh any professional compositor but it’s also something I accept all responsibility for."

Reborn
Marco: "Let’s face it: the CD is almost dead so you have to be creative these days in letting your music be heard."

Rosetta
Matt Weed: "I just realized that the word “post-metal” didn’t come up a single time in this interview! There, I said it. Post-metal! "

Roswell Six
Kevin J. Anderson: "I’ve done so much science fiction as well that it might be interesting to develop a CD based on an upcoming SF novel. For now, however, I’m still trying to catch my breath. "

Sael
Iconoclast: "“…the overall sound of the album is deep enough for you to dive into the ambiance, get caught in the songs…"

Sahg
Olav Iversen: "India was something else, man, the audiences were just totally crazy!"

Slechtvalk
Shamgar: "‘A Forlorn Throne’ heeft het eigentijdse van Immortal, de ballen van Amon Amarth (in een stroomversnelling dan), het epische van ons oudere werk en iets meer het technische van Opeth."

Spellblast
Luca Arzuffi : "If you think about how much Nordic culture has influenced our lives with films, videogames, books and more from all over the world, I think that it’s reductive to wonder why Italian bands sing about Vikings!"

T.C.F.
Hans Hostile: "We’re not a fucking grunge band!"

The Body
Lee Buford: "We'd love to tour Europe but I got a real bad issue with planes so I may have to get real drugged up to make it."

The High Confessions
Chris Connelly: "We came together, exchanged Information translated into sound, nodded our goodbyes and left."

Two Fires
Kevin Chalfant: "The most important for me is that I’m capable of touching people with my voice and my music, whether I have a hit record or not!"

Unearthly Trance
Ryan Lipinski: "I don’t care if people google our entire catalog and download it in half a day. I just ask that people whom appreciate it, connect with us further."

Unholy Grave
Takaho Komatsu: "However, I still love old-school grindcore with one-foot."

While Heaven Wept
Tom Phillips : "There was a time when we could’ve gone in a Phlebotomized direction!"

Winterwolf
Corpse: "My childhood fears pretty much consisted of werewolves and other devilish ghouls."

Zombiekrig
El Guapo: "If only we had the American mentally to actually wanna become something – we’d be ruling the world from our vast northern kingdom. And we’ve got really really pretty blonde girls everywhere, which is probably the best reason ever to get started on your rock stardom."
