COVER STORY
EIGHTEEN VISIONS: The overly opinionated music loving youth are swarming the internet message boards to talk about the new Eighteen Visions record before they have even heard a single note. The shift in the band’s sound on the self-titled album—which is not just an online rumor, but a verified truth—seems to have rubbed some scene kids the wrong way, because, apparently, it’s a matter of cred when a band’s sound evolves to a new level. Keith Barney and James Hart set the record straight.
IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS
UNDEROATH is a band that apparently never stops moving, not even to write a new record, as Define the Great Line channels two years worth of their experiences and emotions. As a result, the album is the outcome of a far more natural songwriting process. Tim McTague and Spencer Chamberlain reflect on the album's universal meaning that the band hopes everyone will be able to apply to his or her own life.
SHADOWS FALL vocalist Brian Fair may have just put the finishing touches on Fallout from the War, but he speaks with an energetic vivaciousness that quickly rules out exposure to radioactive, chemical, biological, or even conventional weapons. Widely considered innovators within the metal hardcore community, the last few years have seen Shadows Fall reach an unimaginable audience.
ZAO is Greek for “alive,” but it might be more appropriate if it meant “turmoil.” They’ve survived lineup changes, breakups, and setbacks, and the band has kept moving forward on their latest slab of metal hardcore, The Fear Is What Keeps Us Here.
NOFX: After more than two decades of partying and punk rocking, NOFX still loves to stir the pot on their latest full-length, Wolves in Wolves’ Clothing. NOFX frontman—and Fat Wreck Chords head and Punkvoter organizer—Fat Mike tackles an array of issues.
SEPULTURA: Condensing the wonders of Heaven, the ethereal mists of Purgatory, and the flames of Hell into 38 minutes and 57 seconds is no small task, but on Dante XXI, Brazilian thrash legends Sepultura do so with panache and verve.
DEAD TO FALL frontman Jonathan Hunt is busy multi-tasking. In addition to answering interview questions, he’s driving a filthy tour van, trying to get himself and his bandmates from Kansas City to St. Louis in a timely fashion.
FROM FIRST TO LAST: Driving past a car accident in his hometown of Orlando, Florida, Travis Richter reveals the secret of From First to Last’s success and his furry swatch of facial hair.
DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS: Displaying wisdom and maturity beyond their years, Drop Dead, Gorgeous conjures up some serious metal science. Vocalist and pianist Aaron Rothe answers all of our questions about his youthful band.
FIRST BLOOD frontman Carl Schwartz is shopping at an Army Navy store on Broadway in New York City on a breezy afternoon, talking about First Blood’s new album while scouring the racks.
PHOENIX MOURNING: Hanging out in front of Chick-fil-A, good-natured frontman Jeremiah Ruff offers a glimpse into the beating heart of his up-and-coming metalcore band.
