For almost 15 years, DragonForce have shredded their way ‘through the fire and flames’ of the music industry to become one of the top metal bands on the planet.

It was also featured on the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The song quickly became [...]

While I was setting up the camera, he offered me a beer. So, Rody and I kicked back, relaxed, and I talked about the band’s new record, Scurrilous, over a couple of beers. It was time for Rody to relax, too. It was the [...]

Throughout the season, Juliet infused her signature style into classic hits like “Roxanne” by The Police, “Cryin’” by Aerosmith, and a straight-from-the-heart rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” on the final episode [...]

It’s been nearly a year since the album’s release, and it peaked at #31 on the Billboard Top 200. We talk about how, for a [...]

I caught up with Martín on a tour stop of the band’s co-headlining Heritage Hunter Tour with Mastodon. Opeth has been grinding in the metal game for over 20 years. Godfathers of Sweden’s revival of thrash and death metal in the early 90′s, Opeth have long been [...]
