Midnattsol Interview 2011
Performed in May 2011 via Skype
The Metamorphosis Melody (Napalm Records), the third full-length album by Nordic folk metal sextet, Midnattsol, sees vocalist Carmen Elise Espenaes singing with more authority and emotional depth to her voice than ever before. Sonic Cathedral was privileged to get to know Midnattsol and follow their trajectory, from a fledgling band to a force to be reckoned with. Sonic Cathedral’s Robin Stryker chatted with Carmen about Midnattsol’s professional and personal metamorphosis, what REALLY goes on after the show, and much more.

Amaranthe Interview
Performed in late April 2011 via Skype
Not being one to spend time on MySpace (where Amaranthe has had a huge following for years), this Swedish/Danish power/melodic death metal did not come skipping across my radar until a few weeks ago, when my colleague Max Levites shared a link to their new video "Hunger." (Watch it HERE) So what do we have? Three (count ‘em, THREE) vocalists -- female vocals, clean male vocals and male scream vocals -- and a self-titled album of twelve utterly catchy songs.
Sonic Cathedral’s Robin Stryker caught up with vocalist, Jake E, on the eve of Amaranthe heading out on their massive European tour, opening for the mighty Kamelot. Dive in for a closer look at a band that will be heating up the airwaves and festival stages!
