Interview With God Seed

Infernal Masquerade was able to catch up with Gaahl and King during With Full Force 2009. During the interview with talk with the masterminds behind God Seed about their new album, the legal battle for the Gorgoroth name, among many other things. This was probably one of the last interviews that was conducted with Gaahl as part of God Seed and the Metal scene itself.

Interview With Deadlock

Infernal Masquerade had the opportunity of talking with Johannes Prem the vocalist of Deadlock, one of the most promising bands from Germany. We got to talk to him about their latest album "Manifesto" and the overall message in their music among other things. Please download our interview with the band so you can check out what he had to say.

Interview with Anathema

Afer being fans of the band for 15 years, we had the amazing opportunity to interview Jamie Cavanagh hours before their amazing performance at With Full Force 2009. For our bad luck the interview file got corrupted and we lost a few of the questions. He talked about his passion for making music, that if we want to do something we need to do it with passion. He also talked about the strong family bond that hold Anathema together as a band. And when the file starts he starts talking about their long awaited new album and few other things. Download the file to find out what else he is talking about.

After a very long and amazing trip to Europe our last stop was the 2009 With Full Force festival.

After a great Dream Theater and Cynic concert in Prague, Czech Republic I headed back to my rest spot in Prague and got my stuff ready to wakeup early and take the train to Dresden, Germany for some sight seeing on the way to my final destination of the day: Leipzig, Germany.

ATMF News Update: Upcoming October Releases

SEMEN DATURA - Einsamkeit
Origin: Germany
Black metal as a renewed weapon can overcome the passing of time... German black metal legion SEMEN DATURA are poised to infect the scene with their most impressive album to date, where personality and skillful songcraft converge into a sound of pure darkness. Fams of Secrets of the Moon and Deathspell Omega pay heed.
Check out a sound sample here:

Madder Mortem – Eight Ways (2009)

I can always count on Madder Mortem to enthrall me with their amazingly bizarre music and “Eight Ways” is not the exception. After two years since their last release “Desiderata” this Norwegian band is back with another masterpiece that will please all fans of the band.

Madder Mortem sound is very ‘bizarre’ to say the least, but I don’t mean this in a freak show kind of way, but instead I mean that they manage to fuse and combine so many different elements of so many genres (not necessarily from metal), and create some of the most hauntingly beautiful songs. They are also a band that most people would either love or hate I don’t think there is any middle point in linking them.

Be’lakor – Stone’s Reach (2009)

Be’lakor has managed to blow us away once more by releasing an extremely amazing album, even better than their highly praised debut album “The Frail Tide”.

This Australian Melodic Death Metal band has been able to quickly climb spots as one of the premier Melodic Death Metal band’s of the scene, and they have done so with only 2 releases under their belt, both of them were self-released.

Autumnblaze – Perdition Diaries (2009)

After Autumnblaze disbanded in 2006 I was pretty disappointed that I would never get to listen to another album from this band, but for my luck they got back together in 2008, and featuring Eldron, Arisjel and Schwadorf the band wrote and recorded “Perdition Diaries”.

“Perdition Diaries” takes us back a bit to the older and more aggressive material the band wrote for their first album “DämmerElbenTragödie”. However the band still keeps their melancholic sound of latter releases perfectly. This album is more of a nice mixture of the bands previous musical efforts blended in together with new ideas.
