COVER STORY
BLEEDING THROUGH: “I’M SURPRISED THAT WE’RE ALL STILL ALIVE,” Bleeding Through vocalist Brandan Schieppati declares. “I’m really surprised that we haven’t killed each other. I’m surprised we’re still a band. There are a lot of things about the last few years in Bleeding Through that are just unfathomable." If their last record This Is Love, This Is Murderous was a TNT blast that projected them out of the underground, The Truth is likely to be an atom bomb blowing them into the Great Unknown, a stratosphere that no other band in the genre has gone before.
IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS
COHEED AND CAMBRIA: While some artists have produced multiple concept albums, relatively few have built a career around one saga, as is the case for Coheed and Cambria. Catching up with Claudio Sanchez, the band takes a few hours of rest in an Albany, New York hotel before finishing up some recent dates of its tour for Good Apollo I’m Burning Star IV, Vol I.
HIMSA: Accepting the destruction of dreams and aspirations may be what passes for the modern day “maturing process,” but it isn’t something you’ll hear endorsed to the strains of punk-inflected metalcore on the ferocious new Himsa record, Hail Horror. “I’m 33-years-old, and I’m still influenced by a lot of the same things as when I was 15,” vocalist John Pettibone confirms.
THRICE: Talking with Thrice at their record company’s office on the day after the band packed a sold-out show at NYC’s Roseland Ballroom, Dustin Kensrue and Riley Breckenridge admit to being older, wiser, and better players these days, and the duo were open about all facets of Vheissu, from recording to writing, and knitting. Yes, knitting…
DEMON HUNTER: With memorable melodic choruses and plenty of deafening metallic riffs, The Triptych is what you’ve come to know and love about Demon Hunter. Ryan Clark sounds off about the state of things in the Demon Hunter camp and the band’s future.
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE: “I’m in agony today,” Matt Tuck—the guitarist, vocalist, and primary songwriter of the suddenly omnipresent Welsh metalcore band Bullet for My Valentine—laughs. “Our show last night was particularly brutal."
PROPAGANDHI: Those who believe in shooting the messenger will want to stock up on the ammo for Propagandhi. This is not a band that bears good tidings, even for supposedly like-minded labelmates and protest bands.
FIREBALL MINISTRY: From the opening jams of their new album Their Rock Is Not Our Rock, you’ll be thinking AC/DC, Black Sabbath, and Ozzy—nothing core, melo-death, or post-anything about it. Guitarist Emily J. Burton checks in from the road.
WITH HONOR: Having been a band for just three years and spending two and a half of those formative years on tour, 23-year-old frontman Todd Mackey has got a lot to say about the hardcore scene and This Is Our Revenge.
THE (INTERNATIONAL) NOISE CONSPIRACY: Protesters can be a mirthless lot, but not The (International) Noise Conspiracy. Guitarist Lars Strömberg talks about the making of Armed Love and taking it out on the road with some strange bedfellows.
