INTERVIEWS & FEATURES

In spite of their lofty arena status in the UK, Kentucky country boys Black Stone Cherry remain humble, down to Earth and firmly rooted in reality. Their latest album ‘The Human Condition’ is pretty damn good, too. Joe Bonamassa heads to the UK to achieve a British sound, Phil Campbell and his Bastard Sons delight with their metalicious second album, Blue Oyster Cult finally unveil an album of brand new music, and we talk to Mick Box about Uriah Heep’s staggering new 25-album retrospective box set. Also this issue are interviews with Hammerfall, Armored Saint, Fates Warning, Visions Of Atlantis, DGM, Leaves’ Eyes, Jakko Jakszyk, Them, King King, Pallbearer, Mors Principium Est, The Progessive Souls Collective, Memories Of Old, Spirit Adrift, and Lufeh, plus our Paradise City hotspot this month is the birth place of heavy metal, Birmingham.
