Eternal Maiden or: Dying happily in Babylon

After posting some pics of the two Maiden gigs in Dortmund on our social media channels, now a few more words about the two evenings in the venerable Westfalenhalle. Monday already showed that great things were approaching: During the British Lion concert at the FZW, it was obvious after just a few moments that Mr […]

Interview: Gatekeeper

Exactly two years ago, on 26 January 2021, we published for the last time an interview with Jeff Black from Gatekeeper – this article was released as a part of our big Manilla Road Special. Since we always enjoy chatting with Jeff and the new Gatekeeper album From Western Shores will be out on 1 […]

Interview: Black Messiah

Vor einer Woche schrieben wir bereits, dass uns Black Messiah auf dem Wolfszeit Festival 2022 sehr gut gefallen haben. Kurz nach unserem Ausflug nach Thüringen stand fest: Mit Bandgründer Zagan, als einziges Mitglied seit 1992 an Bord, möchten wir uns unbedingt für den Epic Metal Blog unterhalten. Herausgekommen ist ein sehr lebendiges Zoom-Gespräch, das wir […]

Live Report: Blaze Bayley + Absolva (Dortmund)

Text: André, Pics & Videos: Aidan, Sven Biwo and a nice lady Blaze Bayley concerts are something very special: Even today, I am still thinking back with a big satisfied grin on my face to a remarkably intense gig at the Bastard Club in Osnabrück, when the maestro and the Absolva boys treated their fans […]

With this little feature, the Epic Metal Blog also thanks these artists for their just completed European tour, where they absolutely captivated many fans. We hope you […]

Interview: Theandric

Fortunately, you can always discover wonderful gems in the underground. One of them is Theandric‘s EP Flight Among the Tombs, which already enchanted me during the first listen. Against this background, it is not surprising that we asked the band’s founder, Paul Tiseo, if he would like to answer a few questions for us. Luckily, […]

Interview: Angel Martyr

This interview is to be considered as part of our recent Epic Metal Blog Birthday Special, honouring our co-editor-in-chief Aidan on the occasion of his 19th birthday. Unfortunately, however, we had to postpone our talk with Angel Martyr because one of the band members was confronted with private matters that are much more important. We […]

Interview: Starscape

In this part of the Epic Metal Blog Birthday Special we enter Sweden. Last year, Starscape‘s debut Colony was one of Aidan’s favourite records, which kept him excited all year long. I am therefore very happy that Anton Eriksson (all instruments) took the time to chat with us about his band and all sorts of […]
