Powerplay 245 October 2021
INTERVIEWS & SPECIAL FEATURES
After thirty years in the business, Joe Bonamassa is releasing his reflective new album ‘Time Clocks’. Now considered by many to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Joe took a break from his jam-packed schedule to talk to Powerplay about the new album and the path that has brought him to this point in his life. Black Veil Brides wow us with their incredible new concept album, Yes take us on ‘The Quest’ with their latest progtastic offering, Brainstorm hit us between the eyes with their sharp but reflective thirteenth full-length, Lemmy and his boys get our albums ranked treatment, and in this month’s special feature we look at our favourite movies with rock and metal soundtracks. There are also interviews with Soilwork, Carcass, Sami Yaffa, Grinder Blues, The Picturebooks, The Georgia Thunderbolts, Nightblade, and Mario Rossi.
