INTERVIEWS & FEATURES

Roll up, roll up, it's festival time again. We talk to Kiss about their headlining Download Festival appearance this month. We also bring you our annual festival preview to help you choose from all of those must-see events. Helloween prove why they are still the kings of the power metal genre that they invented on new album 'My God-Given Right'. Hard working Mark Tremonti strikes gold again with his second solo outing, Luca Turilli shows why his version of Rhapsy is the one that you should be listening to, Paradise Lost evoke memories of their early highlights on their newbie, Leprous wow us once gain, as do Pyramaze, and we talk to the returning Hirax, Sirenia and melodic rockers House Of Lords. Plus we chat to Jon Bush about the latest Armored Saint album, Jean Beauvour tells us all about his new offering with Crown Of Thorns guitarist Micki Free, and we welcome the return of White Sister legend Dennis Churchill Dries.
