Bleeding Edge Interviews

Cody Lee Ford of Soen joined me to chat about Imperial, the upcoming tour, how he joined the band, and what it's REALLY like to work with the other members of the band.

Ian Crichton has been iconic as the guitar hero of Saga throughout their 40+ year career. Now, he's got a new project with Robert Berry (3, Alliance) and Nigel Glockler (Saxon) called SiX BY SiX, bringing together their diverse influences into one sound as unique as you might expect with their debut album. This is my extended conversation with Ian about the new band, the drive to continue to play and create, adjusting to new working relationships, and the importance of handling amp cables carefully.

Here is my conversation with guitarist Charlie Griffiths and drummer Ray Hearne of HAKEN! We talk about everything Haken, especially their rise to the top of the prog metal world, and where they want to go from there!

Trope is a fast-rising band, featuring a groove-oriented and progressive style, fronted by the multi-talented vocalist/writer Diana Studenberg. Eleutheromania is their debut album, featuring the longs Lambs, Plateau, Pareidolia, and a cover of the Tears For Fears classic, Shout.

Editor's Note: I'm getting more creative with my episode assembly!

All the way from Australia, Dean Wells of Teramaze joined me to talk about their amazingly prolific output over the last couple of years, including the newly release epic, Sorella Minore, the sequel to Her Halo, as well as their already in-production follow-up album! Along the way, we learn a bit about Dean's creative process, and what it was like to pull off a 26-minute song!
