    WOODS OF YPRES are THE cover of the new Unrestrained Magazine!

    Glad that your copy finally arrived and you enjoyed the feature, David. Nice of the guys in Necramyth to hook you up with a framed copy too! U! #37 was really the issue where I think that the new team hit its stride after the transitional thirty-sixth issue...add to that its size and the fact...

    Songs for Woods of Ypres to Cover (Guesses and Suggestions):

    I'd like to hear WoY cover a bunch of decrepit Delta Blues songs (the stuff so old that you have to download it from the Library of Congress, because it was recorded on ancient cylinders that are decaying rapidly), old folk songs, some Dylan, Young, Waits, Cave, Cash, Joy Division, and what the...

    WOODS OF YPRES are THE cover of the new Unrestrained Magazine!

    Barring postal inanity, the issue featuring Woods of Ypres on the cover should hit newstands on April 29th. It is a 112 page behemoth, with a 9,000 word feature article on Woods of Ypres, as well as a review of the new album. Fans of WoY should really dig the article, I hope. David was a...

    I'm interviewing Mikael

    Is it really possible to freeze a language like English into some sort of "proper" or "correct" form? Anywhere that it's spoken, local idioms, accents, etc. have developed over time, whether it is taught as a first or a second language. And it's constantly evolving over time, borrowing words...

    Does a group like this exist?

    Well, I'm not a huge fan of the band, but Meshuggah may fit the bill. Check out Destroy Erase Improve, it's probably their best, esp. in terms of the jazzy elements. Some of the noise/mathcore stuff might be up your alley too. Stuff like Dillinger Escape Plan, Luddite Clone, Burnt By The...

    I'm interviewing Mikael

    Ask him whether or not the marketing for Damnation will be different, eg. will the label/whoever be actively marketing this album to progressive rockers? I've read in the past that Mikael felt that the band would do quite well in that circle, though some fans have trouble with the deathier...

    I'm interviewing Mikael

    Answer (in part): he lived in Canada for a few years while growing up. Also, most people that grew up in the Swedish school system speak very good English in the first place.

    What's the most embarrassing CD in your collecion?

    Well, I'm not embarrassed by any of my music, I am pretty open-minded and people that know me know that's just the way that I am, but a few things that may be a little odd to find in a metalhead's collection (how you determine the fromage quotient is up to you): Beach Boys - Pet Sounds...

    Morbid Angel??

    Blessed are the Sick is my favorite M.A. album. Nothing else that I have heard can quite compare. Though I haven't heard Altars of Madness in its entirety yet (yeah, I know, shame on me). Covenant and Domination are more commercial, people tend to lambast Domination in particular, but it's...

    I'd like to see Mikael sing aggressively...without the growl!

    Some Chuck Billy-styled aggressive singing could prove interesting. It worked rather well on the latest Darkane, I thought. Even so, I'm not sure if that vocal style would work with the guitar style...you need some pretty thrashy axe licks to make that approach work effectively, and that is...
