Red Capes, Dark Lore And Zero Chill: HOKKA Arrive And...

HEAVY Music Interviews ·

2026/04/22

Interview by Ali WilliamsHOKKA are not easing their way into their new release. They are kicking the door off the hinges, draping the room in red capes and dark mythology, then having the nerve to make it all look effortless. Speaking with HEAVY, Joel Hokka comes across as the kind of frontman who has already lived enough band life to know exactly what matters and exactly what doesn’t. There is no wide-eyed “we just got lucky” routine here. HOKKA might be new on paper, but this is not a band

Interview by Ali WilliamsClawfinger's Bård Torstensen stopped in for a chat with HEAVY Magzine's Ali Williams to fill in the gaps after their long standing hiatus on new releases. After nineteen years between albums, Clawfinger could have returned with something painfully self-important, full of mythology and creative suffering. Instead, Bård talks about it with the kind of dry honesty that makes the whole thing far more endearing. Before We All Die arrives not as some grand rock resurrection, but

Interview by Angela CroudacePhoto credit Diana SeifertFor George Marios, influence isn’t something he carefully maps out, it happens instinctively. Drawing from artists like Alter Bridge and Dream Theater, he describes his sound as a kind of “musical osmosis,” where ideas naturally collide and evolve. Even unexpected touchpoints, like the atmospheric pull of Jeff Buckley, can surface in his work before giving way to massive, anthemic choruses.That same ambition extends visually. His Crash Burn music

Interview by Kris PetersWaiting for something you truly desire can be pure agony and loyal fans of Norwegian extreme metal royalty Dimmu Borgir know that feeling better than most. Ever since guitarist Sven “Silenoz” Kopperud and vocalist Stian “Shagrath” Thoresen formed the band amid Norway’s shadowed forestlands in 1993 - at the height of second-wave black metal’s triumphant aeons - rushing the creative process has never been part of the equation.

If there's one topic sure to divide opinion in the world of music it's tribute bands and the rapid growth of such bands around the globe. Those who support tribute bands argue points such as providing accessible, affordable entertainment, keeping classical music alive and preserving musical history while those opposed argue tribute bands impact artist authenticity by oversaturating venues and reducing opportunities for original bands who play their own music.That debate has recently spread to social

Speaking with Ali Williams ahead of their April return to Australia, the group as a band, have earned its growing reputation. These guys roll on in with the kind of dry humour and sideways banter that suggests Hot Mulligan are far more interested in

2026/04/07

Interview by Angela CroudaceDr. Mike Trubetskov isn’t just a metal producer—he’s a guide into one of the genre’s most misunderstood elements: synths. Based in Melbourne, he works with heavy bands to shape what he calls their “cinematic sound,” and a huge part of that comes from what sits beneath the obvious.For Mike, synths aren’t always meant to be heard, they’re meant to be felt. Whether it’s a subtle, slow-moving pad or an industrial, distorted layer cutting through dense guitars, these sounds
