The HMW adventure began in Italy in 2003, but we often feel the need to have something to read in other languages too, and we decided in this session to think about foreign metalheads. You are welcome!
I was really curious to know more about Torchlight Parade and their new record “Never Laugh When A Hearse Rolls By” so I asked some questions to the band themselves! The words that follow explain why these artists are so intriguing and original! Who are Torchlight Parade? Tell me about when and how the project was born. Many metal bands play into the imagery and … Leggi tutto
I was lucky enough to follow LÖANSHARK since their early recordings. Despite the fact that today’s metal fan has the possibility to listen to wide range of bands, due to the widespread social media, there is always a chance that, because of such a plethora of bands around, some of the remarkable ones, to escape the fans’ radar. Fortunately, that was not the case for … Leggi tutto

Power Paladin is a new sensation in the Power Metal kingdom, coming nonetheless from the far Iceland. We got a chance to talk about “With The Magic Of Windfyre Steel” with the guitar player and mastermind Ingi and … Leggi tutto
SIXX:A.M. – Music through Diaries This interview originates from my desire to learn more about a name that’s been going around way less than its objective value would deserve. The three original members (with Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx inevitably standing out) are the core of Sixx:A.M.’s style – but this project is all about something specific: serving as a soundtrack to the former Crüe’s tormented … Leggi tutto
Elvis Lives ! click sulla bandiera per accedere alla versione italiana I’ve been following Volbeat for a long time and have interviewed them more than once. This is not the first time I’ve come across Jon Larsen, perhaps one of the hardest ones of the group to interview. Jon is the typical drummer. He doesn’t get involved in lyrics, cover artwork and such. Too much … Leggi tutto
SARAH JEZEBEL DEVA – The Outsider Vampire clicca qui per la versione italiana The name of Sarah Jezebel Deva is commonly associated with that of Cradle Of Filth: for twelve years (1996-2008) Sarah accompanied the British vampyres live with her voice in what is recognised as their golden age with records like “Dusk And Her Embrace”, “Cruelty And The Beast” and “Midian”. But Sarah didn’t … Leggi tutto
DEATH ANGEL – The Bastard Wolves click per la versione italiana / italian version on the flag The first time I interviewed Death Angel was in 2008 for the release of Killing Season and I was so excited that I could transcribe very little. A fleeting chat of few words with a Californian accent that was really hard to understand and translate. The slang, difficult … Leggi tutto
BLIND GOLEM – Blind Fury BLIND GOLEM recently released A Dream Of Fantasy, one of the best albums of 2021. Heavy Metal Webzine (HMW) had a very interesting interview with the bass player of the band, Francesco Dalla Riva. (HMW): Hi Francesco! Congratulations for your great album! Tell us, when was the first time you ever listened to ‘70s hard rock? Which band was it and … Leggi tutto
Preface I worship Colombian metal, and heavy metal the Latin America way, in general. Period. Perhaps because Latin American metal bands are among the most irreconcilable keepers of the flame worldwide. WITCH HUNT is a confirmation of what just mentioned. And the most exciting fact is that all of the country’s excellent metal releases lately are from the same label, Rata Mutante Records. A label … Leggi tutto
PORTRAIT – Look Into The Mirror The day the new Iron Maiden album came out, another very important album came out, but more in the shadows in the same category. Of course they won’t make the history of NWOBHM, but the Swedes Portrait are still enjoying a good success and not only in their country of origin. We unleashed our Ivan Gaudenzi, assisted by the … Leggi tutto
