We caught up with Frayle at Alcatraz Festival 2025 to talk about their hauntingly beautiful new album ‘Heretics and Lullabies’ (out tomorrow with Napalm Records), the connection between artist and audience, and why walking through the dark is sometimes the only way to find the light.
We sat down with Orbit Culture’s Niklas to talk about their upcoming album ‘Death Above Life’ (out now with Century Media Records), their journey from support slots to headliners, and why this new era feels like a true rebirth. Catch them live on tour with Gaerea and Atlas in Europe next month or at summer festivals in 2026 like the already confirmed Alcatraz Festival!
We met up with Motörhead legend Phil Campbell at Alcatraz Festival this past Summer to talk about the “50 years of Motörhead” tour (that continues this November with one last run in Europe, don’t miss out), rocking out with his sons in Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, and a bunch more things seasoned by his usual mix of humor, honesty and no-nonsense attitude!
We spoke with Stephan and Adaya of Faun about their new album ‘Hex’, a journey through witchcraft, empowerment, and world fusion sounds, out tomorrow September 5th!
At Alcatraz 2025, Avatar’s Johannes Eckerström opened up about the band’s next chapter: a new album that was not to be named (it has a name, but he was being a “good boy” in not unveiling the title), their fastest song in 15 years, and why independent festivals (like the one we were at) keep metal’s future alive.
Back in April, we sat down with Luna Kills on the release day of ‘DEATHMATCH’ to talk screaming, Sugar Rushes, gamer Easter eggs, and world domination. Months later, the album still slaps and world domination seems well on its way with a show at Hellsinki Metal Festival this weekend and an already announced career highlight with Wacken Open Air 2026!
We caught up with Wind Rose frontman Francesco Cavalieri after their explosive set at Tuske 2025 to talk viral fame, festival life, and why their music is more than just memes and mead. Catch their set at Alcatraz Festival this Friday!
We had a call with Ruben (guitars) and Frederik (bass) of the Belgian modern thrash band Primal Creation to talk about their latest single, the move of Frederik from roadie to active member of the band as the bassist and especially about playing at this year’s Alcatraz Festival opening La Morgue this Saturday!
We caught up with Signs of Algorithm’s frontman Frederick to talk about their latest album ‘Sunchaser’, the band’s musical and his vocal evolution, and why their Alcatraz Festival show is a dream come true.
We sat down with SKYND at Tuska about a month ago and had a talk about how they’ve been turning true crime into art, empathy, and community.
