Interview With Vorph Of Samael

Swiss black metal pioneers Samael have been evolving their sound and producing albums successively more advanced than the previous ones for the duration of their twenty year career. While the transformation from old school black metal to more progressive material with liberal use of electronic elements has angered some of their fans, it has gained them many more and garnered international success. Formed by brothers Vorph and Xy, Samael’s latest album “Solar Soul” was released just over a year ago, and the band is currently preparing for a U.S. tour alongside Amorphis and Virgin Black.

Sevendust Guitarist Checks In

Recently rejoined Sevendust guitarist Clint Lowery has issued the following long tour report:

"Wow!!! We just got back from our trip over to Germany, Qatar and Afghanistan entertaining the troops, which truthfully they entertained the hell out of us.

"First off, we're coming off a two-day transit that started in Afghanistan that ended here in Atlanta for most of us and to say that the flights were long and delayed would be an understatement. I'm still in that dream state from lack of sleep. Between the time changes, different flights etc. it's gonna be a few days before we pull it together and by the time we do we leave again to go back out which is par for the course for Sevendust.

"I'm still processing everything we just went through over there so I'll do my best to give you guys a preview of everything. More...

“Seasons one and two of Rock of Love shattered ratings records and VH1 is so happy to have Bret back for another outrageous season. This time we’ll reveal Bret in his most comfortable setting- the infamous rock star tour bus.” said Jeff Olde, VH1’s Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Production.

“We are excited to hit the road for another season of Rock Of Love,” commented Executive Producers Mark Cronin & Cris Abrego, “Nobody knows their way around a tour bus like Bret Michaels, and we are confident that the audience will enjoy the ride.”
