Powerplay 180 October 2015
INTERVIEWS & FEATURES
Steve Harris talks to Powerplay about Iron Maiden's most ambitious record to date, the fantastic double-disc ‘Book Of Souls’ and says that it's unlikely to be their last. We catch up with Brent Smith and Zach Myers to talk about the spellbinding new album from Shinedown, undoubtedly the best melodic hard rock album of 2015, plus Queensryche explain why they sound better than they ever have, and Black Lawless delves deep within himself to share his innermost thoughts about the religious-themed latest WASP outing and why he'll never play 'Animal' again live. We also interview Ugly Kid Joe, Children Of Bodom, Stryper, X Japan, Huntress, Atreyu, Graveyard, Satan, Thundermother, Caligula's Horse, and COP, plus we talk to Whitesnake’s new six-string wonder Joel Hoekstra.
