It's Easy when it's Good | October Ends

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/07/28

Where October Ends, nu-metalcore seems to begin.I was blessed to connect with Nick and Alex for a recent show, and I discovered so much more about this great band that I've fallen in love with.October Ends mixes sounds, culture, and impeccable songwriting into an easily digestible and decisively lovely mix of mystery and misery.Make sure you listen to the new single Playtime, and find yourself squarely placed into the middle of a journey through the band's spiritual eyes. It's not going to be like

Guitarist and songwriter, Andreas Ballnus, has been working on a 'new' project called Philosophobia for 15 years. Yes, I said that right... 15 years. In between gigs with various world class musicians around Europe, Andreas and a few other superstar musicians wrote, recorded, and ultimately re-recorded the new self titled album, out June 24th.

When the Hobby is the Work with Tom Naumann | Sinner

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/07/14

Tom Naumann is a true original. Along with his partner in crime, Mat Sinner, the name behind the legendary band, Tom has enjoyed a career at the forefront of German metal.I was so fortunate to snag Tom for this interview. He and Mat are so very busy with the press behind the new Sinner record, BROTHERHOOD, as well as the re-release of the epic self titled debut record by Primal Fear.Yes, it's true. Both bands are putting out material right now and Tom can be found squarely in the middle. To put it

Music Is a Person | High Castle Teleorkestra

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/07/11

What do you do when you encounter genius? Do you let it overwhelm you? Do you ask it questions, to better understand it's impossible point of view? Do you sit and revel in the idea that some can see other worlds and imagine other sounds?Typically, I sit in awe and do my best impression of a smart person, so I can at least hang on some level. That's about all I could do when I connected with Tim and Chris from the musically ambitious High Castle Teleorkestra. There's just so much to learn and see

A Moment on Fire with Damon Tate | Of Virtue

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/07/05

Damon Tate is just one of those guys who brings such a calm vibe that you get immersed in his world easier than you'd expect.Of course, this belies the intense nature of his band, the awesome OF VIRTUE. True to form, though, Damon is a guy who gets it out on stage and on record, and as I've said many times, it's always the guys in the heavy bands that have the least to prove.Besides, Of Virtue proves the reason they are making waves with the new singles, 'Hypocrite' and the previous release,

Death Lies in Wait | Mine Collapse

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/06/30

Sometimes, interviews are a real challenge. Othertimes, they find their way into epic experiences. For some reason today, my conversation with Mike and Aaron went way past epic and feel squarely into the legendary category. I'm not sure what it was, but man we had a great time.Sure, it's possible I was a little excited. Sure, I love the new album, Delusions. Sure, I'm clearly known for hyperbole, but this was different.How different? Well, try to keep up, because this one went all over the map

The Knife's Edge with Charles Cure | Hush

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/06/27

If you were confronted with a life or death situation, how do you think you would respond? Would you bear down and deal with the circumstances and worry about the consequences later? How would you respond emotionally? Would you pray?My guest today, Charles Cure of the brutal New York based sludge metal band, HUSH, encountered such an experience. For Charles, his experiences were life changing, but affirming all at the same time. Charles knows what he wants and nothing was going to get in the way

Witches and Pinball | Elektric Mistress

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/06/23

Groove, reckless 70's stoner vibes, and huge blue psychedelia makes Elektric Mistress' killer EP, Chapter 99, a hit in my book.I was able to chat with a few of the guys in the band, namely guitarist Kyle Cantfell and keyboardist Riley MacDonald, so it was really nice to get a few different perspectives on the sound and fury of this cool band.The new EP drops on June 17th and it's sure to make an impression, so it's my humble hope you'll pick it up sooner than later and enjoy those familiar warm and

The Glamorous Archetype with Jacob Charlton | Thornhill

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/06/20

Thornhill has been exciting audiences for a few years now. Another monster band, hailing from the land down under, this Australian quintet knows how to put it down and wrap you around their sugary fingers.I was honored to chat with frontman Jacob Charlton about the way the music business and the band's fanbase has gravitated increasingly towards them, as their sound and look has matured. It may not be easy to be this badass, but Thornhill makes it look like it's a run around the park.Make sure you

The Ravaged Planet with Maria Lessing | Future Palace

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/06/16

Maria Lessing, the singer from the lush and lovely Future Palace, was my guest on the show today and I'm 100% sure you're going to love her voice. She's a great emotive vocalist with a big range and a certain way about her, and she has the performance chops of someone who's been in the business for a long time, yet she's still so young.Future Palace has just released the new album, 'Run,' which, according to the band, "explores the aftermath of a toxic relationship in a stunning and vulnerable way."

The Ten Second Rule with Josh Armitage | Immerse

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/06/13

I love Immerse. A lot. I get it... I'm prone to hyperbole but the music hits me in the right place and the band is just so extremely talented. So, to these ears, Immerse is all the things...and yet melodically sublime.I spoke to Josh Armitage a few weeks back and our chat was what you'd expect. We had a great time and connected over everything from songs to the technical aspects of being the timekeeper in a modern rock band.There is so much to love here and Immerse is poised to turn it on, and in

The Color of a Moment with Hunter Young | Moodring

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/06/09

Hunter Young, the possessor of a truly ethereal voice is a man focused on the challenge of overcoming.Hunter has stated in interviews that he shouldn't be called brave or anyone to look up to, but I absolutely disagree with this statement. If one is willing to write the truth and sing the truth, they are exactly what the world needs and Hunter destroys the stage with his honesty and emotional reach. His voice penetrates and his kindness is overwhelming, as it was to me for our chat, so that's all

The Eccentric and the Flames with Freiburger | Deathcave

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/06/06

I've never done an interview with a guy in a restroom before, but Freiburger and I figured it out. He's an eccentric man, coming from a different world and culture. The new album by Deathcave comes out soon. Seattle based doom doesn't get better.

In This Together with Kevin Klein | Valleyheart

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/06/02

Kevin Kline, the fantastic vocalist from Valleyheart, is a talent of epic proportions and a human leader that we should all appreciate, even if he doesn't feel this way about himself at times. There's just something about the man. Kevin is kind, loving and open to ideas, proving that one can put all their talents out there to sing directly into the souls of the listener and there will be someone to receive it. We are in this together and for that, I'm grateful. This is Kevin Kline from Valleyheart

The Only Way is Up | RXPTRS

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/05/30

You can see and hear RXPTRS coming a mile away. What's most amazing is how they've figured out, in this day and age, to bring something new and fresh when it should be an utterly impossible thing to accomplish. How exactly does one invent a new sound? Just what is it about these guys? And what the heck were they thinking with that name?Well, if you even remotely enjoy rock, pop, or metal, chances are you'll love the way RXPTRS brings the juice. When I say they own an original sound, it's probably

The Battle for our Lives with Jimmy Boman | Outshine

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/05/27

The 4th time is the charm. Jimmy Boman and I spent the last few months working feverishly to coordinate our schedules and it took a lot of tries, but I'm glad we worked it out because Jimmy is a great musician and a wonderful guest. His band, Outshine, hails from Sweden, and his music reflects the culture and sound of a dark brooding winter better than most. Interestingly, Jimmy's music belies the culture and even its own sound at times, as his message is one of overcoming and a hidden hope that

Shutting Out the World with Austin McAuley | Limbs

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/05/23

Wow upon wow.Todays interview with the very talented Austin McAuley is a drive down a single wide lane of hope and loss and I am floored as well as honored by the transparency of our connection.Austin's band, Limbs, are releasing the new EP 'Coma Year' on June 24th and it's a revelation. Pure, intimate, and surprisingly complex, in my opinion, it's an album about subtle victories over a broken heart. You may disagree with me, but you won't be able to turn away from its power and emotional weight.

The Freedom to Terrify | Serling

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/05/19

My guests today, Brandon and Caleb from sci-fi mathmetal pioneers Serling have developed a new type of progressive deathcore and created a sound so terrifying and new that closet metal lovers everywhere are clamoring for their unique approach to the genre.They've created a strange new sound which is amazingly compelling, especially since it oftentimes sounds as though animals are being dismembered between your ears.The new 13 track album, 'Next Stop Willoughby,' drops in a few weeks, so we had to

Embracing the Niche with Howard Fang | Within...

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/05/16

Howard Fang is one lucky son of a gun. He met his future band, Slovenia's Within Destruction, on tour a few years back and then just as his own band started to fizzle, the guys in Within asked him to join, and here we are.Howard had a few minutes on tour and we held our interview just prior to their set, so you'll have to excuse all the background noise. I'm just grateful I had the opportunity to connect with Howard, as the band will be on a seemingly endless tour cycle for the next year.Make sure

The Survivor's Handbook with Tyler Tate | Hollow Front

Rockstar Superhero ·

2022/05/09

When one is dealing with the often misunderstood after effects of depression, it's really easy to fall into a hole so deep, it's very hard to escape. Some never do, while some not only survive, but write music around the experience as a way towards catharsis, and also to help those who might hear the story and recognize themselves in the middle of the same tragedies.Tyler Tate, the dynamic front man for the powerful Hollow Front, was my guest on our show today and I loved every minute of our time
