Powerplay 215 December 2018
INTERVIEWS & FEATURES
After five years without a new album, a break that almost saw the death of the much loved band, Dutch symphonic metal legends Within Temptation return with the pop-infused new album ‘Resist’. We catch up with rapidly rising rockers Bad Wolves, Johnny Gioeli tells us about his charity funding solo album, and we talk to The Offspring’s Andrew Freeman about his unlikely alliance with Mike Slamer under the name Devil's Hand. Also in this issue we interview Lacuna Coil, Metal Church, Roine Stolt’s Flower Kings, Palaye Royale, Chrome Division, Them, The Heard, Care Of Night, Buckets Rebel Heart, Brothers Of Metal, and we reveal our choices for the top fifty albums of 2018.
