Godsmack Discusses "When Legends Rise" And More
As mentioned in the recent live report (which can be read here,) Godsmack has gone from strength to strength over the past twenty plus years, selling millions of albums and headlining arenas across the globe. During their recent European tour, the band stopped off in the United Kingdom for a number of shows, including one at the Kentish Town Forum in London. Before the band took to the stage, I had the pleasure of meeting the group and discussing a number of subjects with frontman Sully Erna and drummer Shannon Larkin including their new album, "When Legends Rise," the hilarious music video for "Bulletproof" and how people have reacted to a slightly softer new sound.

A Chat With The Creator Of Mayhem Festival
Kevin Lyman has had a hand in the creation of Warped Tour and Mayhem Festival, to name just a few of the noteworthy projects he has been involved with over the past two-plus decades. Starting out as a club promoter in Los Angeles, his idea to have a yearly outdoor summer festival conducted in parking lots with Warped Tour has turned into one of the most well-known tours out there today. Along with John Reese, Lyman started the Rockstar Mayhem Festival a few years back to give the spotlight to metal and hard rock acts.
This year’s line-up is a powerhouse, with headliners Godsmack, Disturbed, and Megadeth on tap, as well as Machine Head, In Flames, and Trivium supporting. I had the chance to talk to Lyman in early February about the semantics of running a major festival, the process behind choosing acts, and the possibility of taking the festival overseas in the near future.
