The first thing I ever heard from Tsjuder were the words: “Do I look like someone who cares what God thinks?” After that there was no way back for me. So it's no surprise that it was with great pleasure that I accepted Sonja's invitation to the listening session of Tsjuder's forthcoming album, which will be entitled Helvegr and released on the 23rd of June. In Oslo I also couldn't miss the opportunity to do an interview with Tsjuder after the listening session where Sonja from Season of Mist gave us some information about the album, the recording process, and so on. And so it happened... Half an hour of fun, laughing, and discussing.

Prva stvar, ki sem jo kdaj koli slišal od Tsjuder, so bile besede: »Do I look like someone who cares what God thinks?« Po tem zame ni bilo poti nazaj. Zato ne preseneča, da sem se z velikim veseljem odzval Sonjinemu vabilu na poslušanje oziroma listening session prihajajočega albuma od Tsjuder, ki bo nosil naslov Helvegr in bo izšel 23. junija. V Oslu pa tudi nisem mogel izpustiti priložnosti za intervju po listening sessionu, ko nam je Sonja v kratki razpravi posredovala nekaj glavnih informacij o albumu, snemanju itd. In tako je bilo … Pol ure zabave, smeha in razprave.

Tretji dan letošnjega Inferno Metal Festivala so Gaerea kot headlinerji nastopili v dvorani John Dee. Koncert je bil zelo energičen in občinstvo se je na nastop zasedbe odzvalo zelo pozitivno. Ker je bil koncert velik uspeh in mu je posledično sledilo standardno praznovanje, sva bila z Žigo nekoliko skeptična, ali je zgodnji nedeljski termin za naš intervju res najboljši. A kljub vsemu je pevec in frontman skupine Guilherme Henriques našel čas in energijo, da je v avli svojega hotela ob jutranji kavi sproščeno odgovoril na vsa najina vprašanja. Govorili smo predvsem o občutkih, ki jih band prenaša skozi glasbo, in sicer tako na ploščku kot v živo.

On the third day of this year's Inferno Metal Festival, Gaerea headlined at John Dee. The show was very intense and the audience reacted very positively to the band's performance. Since the concert was a great success and was subsequently followed by a standard after party, Žiga and I were a bit sceptical whether the early Sunday morning date for our interview was really the best. However, the singer and frontman of the band, Guilherme Henriques, found the time and energy to calmly answer our questions in the hall of his hotel, drinking his morning coffee. In this interview we mainly talked about the feelings the band conveys through the music, both on disc and live.

Metalsteel je slovenska heavy metal zasedba, ki bo drugo leto praznovala 25 let delovanja. V tem času je skupina, katere člani so že bolj ali manj od vsega začetka skupaj, posnela in izdala že sedem studijskih dolgometražcev, medtem ko je osmi na poti. Ta bo nosil naslov Spomenik in bo sestavljen skorajda izključno iz priredb skladb slovenskih hard n` heavy skupin iz 80. in 90. let ter enega avtorskega komada. Kaj je o albumu in njegovi predstavitvi v živo povedal Rok Tomšič, ustanovni član in kitarist banda, boste izvedeli v tokratnem intervjuju.
