COVER STORY
ALL THAT REMAINS: Rooted in the old-school hardcore and do-it-yourself mentality that permeated their Western Massachusetts upbringing, frontman Phil Labonte and his band of dyed in the wool metalheads have achieved a level of success undreamt of during those days of playing basements and intimate club shows.
This year marks the release of A War You Cannot Win, their sixth full-length and another slice of lean, mean melodic metal with big hooks and bigger choruses. Labonte was friendly and eager to talk about A War You Cannot Win as he traveled on a nine hour drive from Virginia back to his New England home.
IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS
BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME has never been a band to do things conventionally or by the books. On their new album, The Parallax II: Future Sequence, the band continues the story they started on last year’s EP The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues and sees it through to its tragic conclusion. Tommy Giles Rogers discusses the ins and outs of the concept, how it applies to reality, and how he and the rest of the band hold all these epics together live.
PARKWAY DRIVE: Celebrating their 10th year, Parkway Drive returns with Atlas, their biggest, most ambitious, and powerful album to date. With increased confidence, the band teamed up with producer Matt Hyde to forge the goalpost shifting Atlas, revolutionizing their sound without straying from the elements that has long made them so compelling. We spoke to the always affable vocalist Winston McCall to get the inside story.
THE ACACIA STRAIN: The group’s latest and sixth studio album, Death Is the Only Mortal, is just as brutal and bleak as its predecessors, if not more so. Continuing the band’s streak of impossibly heavy hardcore metal, The Acacia Strain has always been a black hole of hopelessness, but according to vocalist Vincent Bennett, even the most infinite darkness has an end.
TESTAMENT: Without question, vocalist Chuck Billy, guitarists Eric Peterson and Alex Skolnick, bassist Greg Christian, and drummer of the gods Gene Hoglan didn’t just follow-up The Formation of Damnation with another good album, they left it amidst the scorched earth attributable to the superior firepower of Dark Roots of Earth. Eric Peterson would seem to agree.
NEUROSIS: Post-metal has become a genre unto itself, but not a single band out there would exist if it were not for Neurosis. They return with their 10th studio album, Honor Found in Decay. Maintaining the power and tones that have made their previous records so compelling, they further build upon their sound and push it out in exciting new directions. We spoke to Steve Von Till to get an insight into its making.
KAMELOT: Since the early 90s, the ensemble cast from Florida has kept momentum in the face of multiple musician departures and logistical challenges. Founding guitarist Thomas Youngblood, the last original member standing, talks about two decades of Kamelot and the band’s 10th album, Silverthorn.
PAPA ROACH: Beating the odds of a career topping major label debut to twist, tweak, and redefine their sound across seven albums, Papa Roach is nothing if not persistent. A large part of their success comes from their delightfully churlish singer Jacoby Shaddix, whose distinct voice and penchant for pop melodies have kept Papa Roach in the spotlight. Shaddix spoke with us about the band’s new release, The Connection.
