Huntress interview - Blake Meahl 30 Mar 12

Black Night Meditations - Underground Metal Radio ·

2012/04/24

I spoke with Blake after Huntress performed their set during the Paganfest tour stop in New England. The cozy confines of a dark, dreary and cold dressing room provided the proper mood to talk about how Huntress got the Paganfest gig, a little band history, and if radio support can make a difference for Huntress.

Moonspell interview - Fernando Ribeiro 03 Apr 12

2012/04/13

Lullabies, toys, baby clothes, rubber duckies...while Fernando and I talked a lot about Alpha Noir/Omega White, the highlight is definitely hearing Fernando discuss impending fatherhood. The music he will have his son listening to will warm any Metal Heart. After listening to this interview, be sure to listen to my interviews with Fernando from 2006, and Miguel from 2008. http://bnm.podomatic.com/entry/2008-07-06T12_21_31-07_00

Firewind interview - Bob Katsionis 13 Oct 11

Black Night Meditations - Underground Metal Radio ·

2011/11/06

Think of Bob Katsionis as the Vangelis of Metal. Extraordinarily talented, a multi-faceted career, and highly respected in music. So it only made sense for myself and Turn It Up host Jim Alvino to speak with him on a tourbus outside of a bar in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. While Firewind deserves arena-status, the band tours the U.S. no matter the climate. Therefore their dedication to their craft knows no boundaries, and as this conversation proves Bob and the band will push those

BNM's roving Metal reporter Matt Bower called in for the third year in a row to report on the premier Heavy Metal festival, Wacken Open Air 2011. This year we spent more time talking about the bands, and there were many. Turn It Up host Top Jimmy Alvino joined me in the studio for the discussion with Matt.

Icarus Witch interviews - 12 Apr 11 & 20 Dec 10

Black Night Meditations - Underground Metal Radio ·

2011/05/06

I've been a fan of Icarus Witch from the moment I heard the Roses On White Lace EP when we got it as a new release at WSCA about 6 years. It's only taken that long for Black Night Meditations to finally have the Witch on the 106.1 airwaves. Since that first EP, the band has released 3 stellar albums and experienced the rise of the scene, growing in size and scope. Yet the band predated it by years. The Witch's commitment to their craft is proof that they will still be here years from now

Battlelore interview - Tomi Mykkänen 18 Jan 11

Black Night Meditations - Underground Metal Radio ·

2011/03/06

Should Battlelore stick to Tolkien themes only? What about a covers album? An acoustic album? A U.S. tour? And how much of Tomi's life is dedicated to Battlelore? What about his other projects and daily life outside of the band? I've been listening to Battlelore for many years, so I was excited to speak with Tomi before their latest album Doombound was released.

BNM's roving Metal reporter, or in this case...cruising Metal reporter, Matt Bower called in on 2/1 to tell the tales of sailing the treacherous high seas, all in the name of Metal. Hear Matt discuss how the 70000 Tons Of Metal Cruise has redefined the art of the Metal festival by taking a full-sized cruise ship, adding over 40 Metal bands and a couple thousand headbangers from almost 50 countries, and setting sail from Miami to Cozumel.

Bonded By Blood interview - Juan Juarez 19 Nov 10

Black Night Meditations - Underground Metal Radio ·

2011/02/05

Juan doesn't comes across as a typical Metalhead, and that is a bit refreshing. But listening to Bonded By Blood's 2 albums and seeing the band play live, Juan's progressive background is not quite so obvious. I look forward to hearing more of his prog influence in BBB's music, as it could help keep the band vital and set them apart from their peers. I intended to stay away from discussing the typical subject of Thrash, yet that's what I started off with. Go figure. Email/Requests:

Forbidden interview - Steve Smyth 19 Nov 10

Black Night Meditations - Underground Metal Radio ·

2011/01/29

Steve Smyth has been in quite a few great bands over the years, but perhaps he has found a home with Forbidden. But as you'll hear he has his own projects as well. Given Steve's ability as a musician, being prolific only seems natural for someone who makes it look so easy on-stage. Here's hoping for a Steve Smyth instrumental guitar album, Shrapnel Records style!

Lizzy Borden interview

2010/12/04

Having been a fan of Lizzy Borden since the old days, I was thrilled to finally be speaking with the man himself. Oddly enough, myself and Jim Alvino (host of Turn It Up on Saturdays 6-8pm) spoke with Lizzy in the open doorway of a building the band was using in a dark alleyway behind a club. Not the best of circumstances, given that the Lizzy camp was clearly enjoying themselves rather loudly. You'll hear them throughout the interview. But what you are listening for is Lizzy, and he talks

WSCA's Assistant Metal Director & Turn It Up host Jim Alvino joined us for this special edition of BNM. The 3 of us delved into Dave's background, discussed S.T.E., and pondered his future.

Ronnie James Dio - A 5-Hour Radio Tribute

Black Night Meditations - Underground Metal Radio ·

2010/05/20

Sunday, May 16th 2010 was the saddest day in Metal history. Truly a black sabbath. Ronnie James Dio was gone. There will never, ever be a greater loss. I've had many influences, people who've impacted my Metal life. None had more impact than Ronnie James Dio. I could attempt to explain how important Dio was to me, but I don't think I could accurately communicate what Dio has meant to my life over the years. His music and lyrics do that better than I could. So it was with a heavy heart that

Deceased interview - King Fowley 27 Apr 10

Black Night Meditations - Underground Metal Radio ·

2010/05/08

Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote, "saints are sinners who kept on going." So would that make King Fowley the patron saint of Metal? To say that he's kept on going is an understatement, with band lineup changes, label issues, and health scares that could frighten anyone into their grave (Fowley is clearly immune to burial). You could also apply the RLS quote as a metaphor for Deceased's music: the gutwrenched dread of their early releases which has evolved over time into the melodic,

Overkill interview - Bobby Blitz Ellsworth 11 Mar 10

Black Night Meditations - Underground Metal Radio ·

2010/03/23

It's been over 20 years that I've been blasting Overkill's albums. They are one of the few bands that I follow adamantly (releases, tours, interviews, news, side projects, etc.), so you could say I have a vested interest. So when I have a chance to speak with Blitz, I take it. Back in '07 we hung out in the back of the tour bus and talked at length. This time, I only had 20 minutes on the phone with him so I had to stay on track with talking about the Ironbound album and the Killfest tour

W.A.S.P. interview - Blackie Lawless 29 Jan 10

2010/02/26

Blackie Lawless is a Metal legend. That cannot be denied. And we're all aware of the quality of his songwriting and album releases. But what should be stated more often is how he is one of Metal's most gifted vocalists. From the harrowing emotive, to the causticly grating, Blackie's vocal range has long been W.A.S.P.'s signature, just as much as the very familiar songs we all know and love. And it's those songs that keep us coming back for more. Whether it's the typical but glorious fare
