COVER STORY
AVENGED SEVENFOLD sees the future of rock ‘n’ roll, and it’s got a lot to do with the past. City of Evil abandons the screamers and lays waste to metalcore, opting instead for ballsy, deliberately grandiose hard rock.The band has assembled in an industrial park wasteland in Orange County, where they are rehearsing City of Evil for the road. M. Shadows pulls up a seat in the Southern California sun for a candid conversation about Avenged Sevenfold’s continuing evolution.
IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS
AS I LAY DYING singer Tim Lambesis looks up into a perfect blue afternoon sky, closing his eyes as a light spring breeze blows his midnight black locks in his face, and pauses to consider a question: How does it feel to be one of the new metal scene’s fastest rising stars?
THROWDOWN: The phone rings. It’s total cacophony in the background. “We just got done lighting our tour manager’s beard on fire and drawing stars all over our merch guy’s face,” Dave Peters says laughing. “I think I’m ready now to discuss all the serious themes on our new record.” And so he does.
FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND: Inside a San Fernando Valley recording studio, a crowd gathers behind the mixing board as the final mix of Funeral for a Friend’s new album Hours plays back. Frontman Matt Davies opens up on Hours track by track.
THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER prefers to focus on the positive, especially Miasma, a raw slab of death metal fury and precise performance. Uncensored singer Trevor Strnad calls in from the road while touring in New Mexico.
DARKEST HOUR is sleep deprived, but nevertheless upbeat guitarist Mike Schleibaum talks about what it is like to carry the flame of politically astute, volatile heavy music into a scene newly in love with fashion and high-profile success.
EVERGREEN TERRACE has built a solid reputation not only as a band with an uncanny ability to meld fire and brimstone brutality with soaring angelic melodies, but also as one that is able to do so with a wry detachment and a wicked sense of humor.
STILL REMAINS: Catching up with Still Remains on the Road Rage tour, frontman T.J. Miller is excited to be playing in Europe for the first time and to talk about the band’s new album Of Love and Lunacy.
SINAI BEACH pummel and punch with the force of a thousand fists. Singer CJ Alderson speaks about tests of faith and Immersed.
THE RED CHORD: Judging by the slaughterhouse grindcore that The Red Chord plays, you’d never guess that singer Guy Kozowyk is a charmer.
MESHUGGAH: Jens Kidman discusses the changes and the many challenges that Meshuggah has faced moving into a more experimental phase of their career.
