INTERVIEWS & FEATURES
Hot on the heels of their headlining performances on the Carnival Of Madness tour, we catch up with Black Stone Cherry to discuss their rambunctious new album, ‘Kentucky’. Victor Smolski strikes out from Rage with his own new band, Almanac. Circus Maximus coax us with their melody filled third album. Spiky front woman Skin reminds us why Skunk Anansie are as relevant as ever. Still desperately hoping that the original line-up of Venom will reform? Tony Bray says that it won’t and dishes the dirt on why. Also this month we talk to Magnum, Killswitch Engage, Ricky Warwick, The Treatment, Last Autumn’s Dream, Headspace, Sunburst, Bombus, and Tainted Nation, plus we introduce fantastic fresh band The New Roses and chat to Phil Collen about his revealing autobiography.
