Hall Of Metal has issued an interview with former HELLOWEEN singer MICHAEL KISKE (PLACE VENDOME). The following is an excerpt from the interview:

Q: Apart from your voice, what is your contribution to the second album of Place Vendome?

A: "Just my singing."

Q: In the previous album you complained about the fact that the final production was different from what you wanted. What do you think about Dennis Ward’s work in this occasion? Is it more similar to you taste?

A: "I was also fine with the first one, I personally would just not over blow the guitars that much. I don't like it when it gets too heavy. But this is better on this one, even though my vocals are on some songs a bit to low in level, so they don't have the right energy anymore."

Hall Of Metal has issued an interview with vocalist Alissa White-Gluz of Montreal metallers THE AGONIST. The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Friden:

Q: Where does The Agonist come from? How did the idea of setting up the band come up? Tell us about your first steps.

A: "We started off just like any other band. A bunch of people getting together to create music. I think we are still discovering who we are, so we definitely didn't know back then.The Agonist has a few meanings, but the most common do apply to our sound and message. An agonist can be someone/something caught in between, not good or bad, not the protagonist or the antagonist. Our music is in between genres and goes back and forth from super heavy to melodic. An agonist is also the term used for a drug that enduces feeling, like the opposite of an anaesthetic. We would like the think our music and lyrics enduce feeling and thinking as well. We just played lots of shows in Quebec and Ontario and eventually Century Media stumbled upon our stuff and signed us."
