Interviews
Opeth
One of the finest musical examples to ever come out of Scandinavia, Opeth have set the bar for melodic death metal since the band's early 90's inception. With each release since their debut 'Orchid', the Swedish metal maestros have further earned themselves a position as one of the most respected and inspiring metal bands of the modern era. Their defining style blends beautifully intricate darkened melodies and classic gothenburg death metal to an effect that no other band on earth could adequately imitate. Their 10th studio album Heritage is only days from release, and is set to be a whole new chapter in Opeth's extensive chronology, doing away with death growls for the first time since 2003's Damnation. Just ahead of the album's official release, we caught up with guitarist Fredrik Åkesson to talk all about Heritage and all other things Opeth.
Oh, Sleeper
After a successful tour in September with Nazarite Vow, Texas metal outfit Oh, Sleeper are set for a return to our shores this April as part of the Taperjean Records No Surrender Tour with fellow American metallers The Chariot and Aussie pop-punk outfit I Am Villain. Briefly stepping away from busily recording their third studio album, the band's vocallist Micah Kinard gave us some of his time for a rather incredible chat. Make sure you check them out in April!
