Interview: Kyle Thomas (Exhorder)
It has been a difficult time for Exhorder lately. Bassist Frankie Sparcello (pictured above on the left) died last month.
I originally talked to Kyle Thomas, Exhorder's singer, just a little over a week before Frankie died, for an interview. The interview was then, understandably, put on hold for a while. Then I completely rewrote the questions for the interview to talk about the recent events, their third studio album and how it feels to be back with Exhorder.

Interview: Kirk Windstein (Crowbar, Down, Kingdom of Sorrow)
Kirk Windstein is a man of many talents, but not a man of many words. He plays in three awesome bands, and he got to be interviewed by an awesome site. In case you didn't figure it out by the post title and the previous sentence, he was interviewed by us. And in case you didn't figure it out by everything and anything written by us, we're awesome.
Yours truly got a chance to do a quick chat with him, so make the jump and read it. How quick was it? Well, you'll realize what I meant by "not a man of many words" shortly after you start reading it. Which won't take much, because the entire interview could fit a tweet and a half. Maybe Kirk's become eco conscious, and he's saving bytes? What do I know... Just make the jump already.
Interview: Andy McKee
Andy McKee is one of my favorite guitarists. I'm not just saying that because I got to interview him, it's true. Like a lot of people, I first noticed him when his Drifting video went viral.
What I love about him is that unlike other 'slap guitarists,' he doesn't rely on that technique for all of his work. A lot of his other songs are 'traditionally played' and they're just as amazing.
Two weeks ago I wrote an article about the Top 10 Ugliest Guitars and Andy's harpguitar (pictured above) came in second. I said it resembles a deformed penis. Andy's fans weren't too happy with it, as you can read in some of the comments. But what did Andy think of the article? How did he go from listening to metal to the acoustic guitar and does he like sweatpants? Make the jump to find out!
Oh, and today is Andy's birthday so wish him a happy birthday on his Facebook page.
Interview: Tony Campos (Prong, Possessed, Asesino)
Tony Campos looks like a mean guy but he's actually really nice, not to forget that he's a great bassist and vocalist.
Tony plays (and played) in lots of bands, including Ministry, Dia de Los Muertos, Attika, Possessed, Asesino, Otep, Buck Satan & the 666 Shooters, Prong and the band he started his career with: Static-X.
Check out my interview with him, where we talked about Asesino, his involvement with Possessed and his epic beard after the jump.
Interview: Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (Guns N’ Roses)
We love it when we get to talk to musicians directly and interview them without third parties involved, and such was the case with Mr. Thal.
We're proud of all the interviews we've done on this site but few interviewees really played along when it came to our unique way of asking questions. Remember Axe?
But Bumblefoot gets this type of humor and he embraces it, this is why this is my favorite Dose Of Metal interview so far.
So if you want to know what a typical day in the life of Bumblefoot is like, what his stage name would have been if his wife wasn't a veterinarian, what he thinks should happen to us or how many necks a proper guitar should have, make the jump...
Interview: Mark Briody (Jag Panzer)
Jag Panzer are a heavy metal band from Colorado Springs, Colorado. Jag Panzer have been constantly releasing great albums since 1984 and just recently released their latest, 'The Scourge of the Light.'
Mark Briody, the guitar player, recently agreed to do an interview with me, so check it out after the jump.
Interview: Joakim Broden (Sabaton)
The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Sabaton is "Through the gates of hell as we make our way to heaven. Through the Nazi lines. Primo victoria!" but that's not all that members of Sabaton have to say, as we can prove with the following interview with their singer Joakim Brodén.
Make the jump to read about beer, killing Germans and questions by an uninformed Dose of Metal writer.
Interview: Dan Nelson
I've been a fan of Anthrax for a long time now and I supported them even after dumping bandmember after bandmember, but, like many others, I just got sick of the band handling their business that poorly after a while.
I've seen them live in 2009 when Dan Nelson was still in the band and he blew me away. Great stage presence, great vocals, the guy was a beast on that very day, so I looked forward to the upcoming album 'Worship Music,' but everyone knows what happened next.
Dan Nelson is not with Anthrax anymore but he's still working hard and soon we'll all be able to hear him do what he does best: sing like a motherfucker. But first, he gave an interview to your favorite website, Dose of Metal. Read it after the jump.
Interview: Prophet (St. Madness)
What you see above are four guys from Arizona who don't take themselves too seriously and sure as hell know how to rock. When you look at the picture and think "Juggalo!" then you're damn wrong, if you think "Black Metal!" then you're damn wrong aswell. These guys, St. Madness, play Metal the way it should be played: loud, heavy, rocking and they're having lots of fun doing it.
Prophet, singer and lyricist of St. Madness, turned to us via our 'Your Band' campaign, in hopes for us to review their latest album 'Saintanic'. The review of said album will be available next Monday, as part of the Spotlight category. But I also interviewed Prophet and you can read the interview after the jump.
Interview: Thomas Gurrath (Debauchery)
What is this, a repost? No, after interviewing Thomas in October of last year, I interviewed him again, just before the new Debauchery album 'Germany's Next Death Metal' gets released.
Make the jump for the interview and never forget "Blood for the Blood God!".
Interview: Karl Willetts (Bolt Thrower)
Do you love to hear about war? Do you love oldschool Death Metal? If you can answer both of these question with yes, then you must love Bolt Thrower, one of the most popular and influential British Death Metal acts of all time.
Bolt Thrower always stood for quality which was manifested when the band decided not to record a follow-up to their 8th album 'Those Once Loyal,' because, to them (and many others), this album was the "perfect" Bolt Thrower album.
I got to interview Bolt Thrower vocalist and mastermind Karl Willetts recently. Check out the interview after the jump.
Interview: David Ellefson (Megadeth)
David came back in Megadeth a year ago, and what has he been doing since? Umm, I don't know, just KICKING MAJOR ASS around the globe and writing a new Megadeth album.
But what can fans expect from the new album, what does he think of 'Endgame' and did he really see me in the crowd at the Sofia gig? Well, only one way to find out.
Ladies and metalheads... My interview with David Ellefson, after the jump!
Interview: Anton Kalaj (Immanifest)
I recently conducted an interview with Anton Kalaj, the man behind the keyboards of Blackened Death Metal band Immanifest. Immanifest released their first EP 'Qliphotic' in early 2010. If you haven't already, check them out now.
Make the jump for the interview. If you're in a band and you would like us to cover you guys/gals, contact us via the 'Your Band' form.
Interview: Peter Dolving (The Haunted)
Thanks to Stefan Franke of Century Media, I got to interview Peter Dolving, vocalist of The Haunted. I'm really anxious to get this one posted because it turned into my favorite interview so far, simply because it's funny as hell. A huge thank you goes to Dolving for playing and joking along. I've had the complete opposite in other interviews and I'm glad he joined in on the fun.
Take into account that I sent these following questions before Christmas last year and he answered them after Christmas. Make the jump to read on.
Interview: Jokull (Disintegrated)
Recently I've been in talks with Jökull of Disintegrated, a Danish Death Metal band who contacted us via our 'Your Band' campaign. If you're in a band and you want your band to be featured on this spectacular website, contact us here.
Check out my interview with Jökull after the jump, where you can also find a teaser of their new EP and a link to download that very EP, 'This is Art'.
