Three years after first speaking with Neckbreakker at Tuska, back when they were still performing as Nakkeknækker, we caught up with them once again. This time guitarist Johan Lundvig and drummer Viktor Bjørnstad joined us to reflect on the band’s rapid rise, signing with Nuclear Blast, the realities of life on the road, writing their next album and why they still see themselves as an old-school death metal band at heart. See them this Saturday at Tolminator ripping the stage up!
Ahead of Infected Rain’s final European club show of the “Mutation Phase” tour back in April, we sat down with Lena Scissorhands for a surprisingly personal conversation. We talked about the meaning behind their latest single “Stranger”, why she feels more like herself on stage than anywhere else, fan expectations, rejecting labels like “female-fronted” and what the band’s current mutation really means. Catch them this weekend at Tolminator!
Fresh off the stage at Ankea Festival and just one day after releasing her new album ‘Solstice’ with Reigning Phoenix Music, A.A. Williams joined us for a thoughtful conversation about songwriting, emotional honesty and the connection between artist and listener.

Kælan Mikla don’t see themselves as a band that created a world. They see themselves as people who were invited into one. At Ankea Festival 2026, we sat down with the Icelandic trio to talk about the long-awaited new album, stepping away from constant touring, their shared creative “hive mind”, and why Kælan Mikla has always felt like an ever-expanding universe rather than simply a band.
From almost quitting music to signing with Napalm Records and conquering their first European tour, Black Spikes have entered a remarkable new chapter.
