John Sankey of Devil You Know

“So after the first record I think we were like we’re not going to go through that experience again, I mean not that it was a terrible thing it wasn’t at all, this album sounds a lot truer to who we are, the each of us, and the people that have heard it so far have all said that, like […]

DEVIL YOU KNOW are the eight artist confirmed for Soundwave 2016!

DEVIL YOU KNOW began as a journey into the unknown. Howard Jones (Ex Killswitch Engage), Francesco Artusato (All Shall Perish), John Sankey (Fear Factory, Divine Heresy), and Ryan Wombacher (Bleeding Through) all shared a determined strength born of the tension between tragedy and ambition, the fight between creative satisfaction and musical abandon, and the might of collective experience have coalesced […]

NORTHLANE are the Fifth artist confirmed for Soundwave 2016!

All change is growth. And NORTHLANE’s monumental new album Node stands proudly as proof. Debuting at No.3 on the Aria charts, Node takes its cues as much from the band’s collective worldview as it does myriad artists from multiple generations. Rather than the existential examinations of their previous albums, Discoveries and Singularity, the album is fueled by passion and anger […]

REFUSED are the Fourth artist confirmed for Soundwave 2016!

REFUSED are the Fourth artist confirmed for Soundwave 2016!

REFUSED wasn’t just ruminating about the lasting impact of popular culture when it began its 1998 album ‘The Shape Of Punk To Come’ with a lyric about classics never going out of style — it was also taking stock of its own turbulent existence, which met an ignominious end later that year in front of 50 kids at a basement […]

There are some bands out there that no matter how great their music is, they never quite get the recognition they deserve and ultimately fade into obscurity.

Sully Erna of Godsmack (Video Interview)

As I caught the Incutrain on my way to Incubus tonight I was thinking how I’d never seen them before and that somewhat confused me, as I’ve always been a fan of what they’ve done but have no idea why I haven’t. So tonight, that changes… Le Butcherettes are on nice and early and although there’s only no word of […]
