Black Metal: Evolution of the Cult by Dayal Patterson features over 100 exclusive new and archival interviews with the genre's most central figures. It is the most comprehensive guide yet to this fascinating and controversial form of extreme metal. It is encyclopaedic in length and breadth. From the early 1980s pioneers to its fiery rebirth in Scandinavia through to today's increasingly diverse groups, this epic tome captures the movement's development in unparalleled detail and images through such bands and personalities as Dimmu Borgir, Mayhem, Behemoth, Tormentor, Emperor, Darkthrone, Samael, Gorgoroth, and many dozens of others. Increasingly influential, black metal continues to grow and expand as a musical form as well as the subject of serious and satirical, animated, documentary, and narrative feature films. --- Here's an interview (1 day to 2016 06 06) with the author of the book series, Dayal Petterson, who has been following the black metal scene since the mid 1990s and is a regular writer and photographer for Metal Hammer and Record Collector magazine, having also contributed to the likes of The Quietus, Terrorizer and Classic Rock Presents, as well as penning biographies and liner notes for the likes of Marduk and Killing Joke.

RED SQUARE is a pioneering free improvising, avant-rock band originally from Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England that formed in 1974 and broke up in 1978, before reforming again in 2008 as a result of renewed interest in their music. The line up has remained unchanged, consisting of Ian Staples (electric guitar), Jon Seagroatt (soprano saxophone, bass clarinet, flute and electronics) and Roger Telford (drums and percussion). [wikipedia] Ian Staples is also the man lots of ideas and well known from bands THE PSYCHEDELIC RAIDERS, B So glObal, OMLO VENT and terrific album DEATHLESS (with JON SEAGROATT and BOBBIE WATSON). Interview with IAN STAPLES (2015 12 05) and his music made me rethink many things.

Menininkų grupė pasivadinusi „Trintukas prieš Tikrovę” (aliuzija į Bruno K. Öijer „Mano trintukas prieš jūsų Tikrovę”) pristato naują savo darbą – „Radviliškio bliuzas” (eilės Gintaro Grajausko). Performanso mylėtojai, nenuilstantys eksperimentatoriai siūlo sužaisti bliuzą kitaip. Čia nėra privalomo akordų rinkinio. „Įsikibom į bliuzo šerdį ir nepaleidom ” sako grupės nariai. „Teksto esmės pajauta padiktavo ir kūrinio formą ir struktūrą”.

Miel Noir started out in May 2007 as the solo-project of Dimo Dimov. After the first three releases Marcel P. joined the project, first as a live-musician and later also in the studio. Since the release of Wabenheim in 2010, Miel Noir has undergone a radical expansion, turning it from an experimental 1-man-project into a full-blown band, covering a wide variety of styles. From 2010 on Gerhard Hallstatt of Allerseelen became a constant contributor / guest. As of 2015 Miel Noir has worked with four female vocalists. [discogs.com] Interview with Marcel P.

Apie brolių latvių muziką žinome ne itin daug. Ir nors Daugpilio miestas nuo Lietuvos sienos labai netoli, retas lietuvių melomanas, paklaustas, ką yra girdėjęs apie grupę “Laimas Muzykanti” (latv. “Laimos muzikantai”), tik gūžčioja pečiais. Tiesa, su Lietuva ryšio esama. 2003 metais “Laimas Muzykanti” dalyvavo Kaune vykusiame modernios etninės muzikos festivalyje “Suklegos”, tais pačiais metais – ir Šiauliuose rengtame folko bei kantri festivalyje “Baltas kelias” ir kt. Tačiau trys grupės išleistos kompaktinės plokštelės Lietuvoje iki šiol tebėra retenybė, nors naujausias įspūdingas grupės klipas jau senokai sukasi viename tarptautiniame muzikos kanale ir stebina savo meniškumu.

One of the greatest neofolk (or neo-rock-folk, as it calls itself) bands for me is ROSE ROVINE E AMANTI. Band's leader Damiano Mercuri talks straight from Roma (2016 05 17).

Poilsiaujantys Lietuvos pajūryje ir pasiilgę sunkesnės muzikos, turėtų pasižymėti kelis vasaros savaitgalius. Mažiau nei šimtas kilometrų skiria pagrindinius mūsų pajūrio miestus nuo didžiausio Kuržemės miesto Liepojos. Čia įsikūrusio klubo „Fontaine Palace“ ir jo lauko estrados „Gypsy Camp“ pirmieji vasaros akordai – du roko muzikos gerbėjų dėmesio verti koncertai. Į Latvijos pajūrį birželį turėtų skubėti tie, kurie žino ir vertina roko grupes „Filter“, „Combichrist“, „Lord of The Lost“ ir „Therapy?“.

Kaip pranešė M.P.3 (www.shownet.lt), savaitgalį visose skaitmeninės muzikos parduotuvėse ir interneto grotuvuose pasirodė ilgai lauktas naujas Jurgio Didžiulio singlas „Patinka“, įrašytas kartu su vienu žymiausių pasaulio akordeonistu Martynu Levickiu ir Kolumbijos barzdaskučiais.
