INTERVIEWS & FEATURES
It has been a long fourteen year wait but the third Demons & Wizards album ‘III’ finally arrives this month. We sat down with Hansi and Jon in Germany to discuss one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of the year. In our first issue of the New Year Mick Jones shares his excitement about the recent Foreigner reunion shows, Tony Clarkin tells us about Magnum’s new line-up and fantastic proggy new album ‘The Serpent Rings’, plus we talk to Mike Portnoy about the sophomore album from prog metal heavyweights Sons Of Apollo. Also this month are interviews with Sepultura, Anvil, Rage, Delain, Revolution Saints, Dirty Shirley, Gorilla Riot, Collateral, Malone Sibun, Laura Cox, Anchor Lane, Blackwater Conspiracy, Electric Black, Ark Ascent, and gruff voiced Nighwish bassist Marko Hietala shares the story of his debut solo album.
