Stream of Passion Interview 2014
Performed in Person

Stream of Passion will bring out a new album on April 18, 2014. It will be presented to the world at the CD presentation show in Bibelot (Dordrecht, NL). Almost a year ago "we" (John Thornburgh and me) did an interview with vocalist Marcela Bovio for Sonic Cathedral. In that interview there were some hints about a new album and that Stream of Passion was looking for ways to realize that. I still can remember (and read) that I mentioned crowd funding as an option. Marcela said at that time that that might be an option. Now we know that it was the chosen and successful option. The album A War of Our Own is ready for release.

Delain 2014 Interview
by Robin Stryker February 27, 2014 (via Skype)

What a difference two years makes! The last time I had the pleasure of interviewing Delain in February 2012, things were not exactly rosy. The Warner Music Group pulled the plug on We Are The Others, just months before a scheduled European tour. But in the finest metal fashion, Delain persevered -- encouraged by a massive outpouring of support from fans around the world -- and has racked up an impressive list of accomplishments during the intervening two years, including the release of both We Are The Others and the EP Interlude, being signed to metal powerhouse Napalm Records, and their first North American tour.
