INTERVIEWS & FEATURES

“It has been like a journey. And as we see it, we do not want this journey to reach the final destination and then stay there. But on the other hand, we have reached our favourite place and that is what is represented on ‘Manifest’,” says Elize Ryd about Amaranthe’s new album with its Gothic and industrial vibe. Ensalved tell us how they became part of the bicentennial celebrations of the Norwegian constitution, Ace Frehley gathers together some friends for the second edition of his ‘Origins’ covers albums and Devildriver’s Dez Fafara explains why he sat in front of a TV for two weeks without switching it on. This issue we also talk to Stryper, Raven, Brother Firetribe, Tim Bowness, Oceans Of Slumber, Perfect Plan, The Allman Betts Band, Gallows Circus, Ward XVI, Magick Touch, Connor Bracken, The Last Reign, Anders Eriksson, and The Bitter Elegance, plus the latest instalment in our Paradise City series explores Powerplay’s home base of Manchester.
