American Werewolves in Sydney: WIDOW interview

Source: Widow Official Facebook

North Carolina's traditional metal trio are fast becoming a household name amongst the faithful metal hordes. Four albums and a few line-up changes since they formed, WIDOW find themselves taking the stage on day two of Metal Evilution's Steel Assassins Festival in Sydney. Absolute Power caught up with Chris and John to chat about touring, songwriting, and the road to becoming a power trio.

TABERAH Interview

Tasmanian rock n' rollers TABERAH have just released their second album, Necromancer, and Absolute Power caught up with the boys before The Metal Evilution 10th Anniversary to discuss the journey so far, what's ahead, and to celebrate Balfour's work.

The music industry is a pretty harsh beast. Whether you are on stage or behind it, selling arenas or playing keggers, you are going to be making a lot of sacrifices and putting in a lot of work.

Every music scene and movement has a number of forces working to keep it going, and a history of Sydney's - and perhaps broadly Australia's - metal scene over the last decade would not be complete without recognising the hard work Dave Balfour of Metal Evilution has put in.

The Greatest Bands That Never Were

The music industry is a harsh place. Although it is easier now than ever to release music, just giving people the tools necessary won't make it happen. Being in a band takes a lot of commitment - writing, practicing, putting up with band members you might not like that much, and getting gigs can be very time consuming, soul-crushing experiences that will probably cost you a fair bit, too.

Even then, someone has to actually like what you've done.
