Howdy y'all,
Just to let you know, Glenn Harveston has again allowed me to be the official PPUSA interviewer this yeaer. Last year, my interviews posted on my NotesFromTheOtherSide web site. This year, I created a new site called DarkRhapsody that will contain all of the interviews and photos submitted by the bands.
To date, I've interviewed:
Claudio from Raintime
Oddleif from Communic
David DeFreis from Virgin Steele (who spills the beans on that highly regarded 1985 death metal album by Exorcist called Nightmare Theatre)
I have interviews scheduled with the following bands:
Floor Jansen (After Forever) - Tuesday, March 27
Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear) - Wednesday, March 28
Gus G (Firewind) - Monday, April 2
Mike (Cellador) - Saturday, April 7
Andy (Vanden Plas) - Saturday, April 28
"IA" (Freak Kitchen) - soon
Shane and Lance (Krucible) - soon (I can't wait to ask Shane how he put together such a killer Showcase line-up, and ask them both how Lance came to be the new Krucible vocalist!)
At present, I'm editing my interview with Claudio and will likely post it in the next day or two. Elisabeth is transcribing my interview with Oddleif and has it about half done. The format this year is the same as it was last year: a 30-50 minute conversation, transcribed virtually word for word, and posted with a minimum of commentary from me.
I'm still working on connecting with the remaining four bands and hope to have interviews scheduled with them very soon.
The interviews will appear regularly over the next few months.
I had a great time interviewing the bands last year, and am enjoying it just as much this time around. Many thanks to Glenn for this privilege. Many thanks to all the bands for giving me their time.
I'll let you know when my interview with Claudio posts, and will keep everyone informed regarding all future postings.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Bill
