		<description><![CDATA[Touring, for some bands, is as simple as loading your gear and selves into a van and heading down the road, and hoping to make enough off a cut of the cover charge and merch sales to make it back home again in one piece.
Others taking a slightly different approach.
A wise musician once said: “I bought four cases of Fun Dip!”
Actually, that was Andy Sidloski, bassist for the band Silent Line, but he makes a valid point.
He&#8217;s thought about what it means to go on the road, and he wants ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Relax and have fun. According to living metal legend Gene Hoglan, that&#8217;s the key to drumming. After all, “It&#8217;s not &#8216;rocket surgery;&#8217; it&#8217;s just drums,” he exclaims.
“A lot of guys turn it into something really intense and difficult and not fun,” Hoglan states.
“When you&#8217;re all tensed up, that just makes it not fun, and you get this horrible struggling strained face on. That looks like you&#8217;re killing yourself, and that doesn&#8217;t look like fun. Unless you like looking like that,” he laughs. “I try to practice Occam&#8217;s Razor when it ...]]></description>

KING: Solitaire is my first introduction to Edenbridge, although this is their 7th album since their 2000 debut. What we have here is female-fronted symphonic metal, a sub-genre that seems to have fallen out favour over the past few years, possibly due to the influx of bands following the exact same ...]]></description>

Slayer
Iron Maiden
Lamb of God
Motörhead
Opeth
What is your earliest metal memory?
I think my earliest metal memory comes from a show at the Multi in Calgary. I was just there to see a random show with some friends, and this band, Chupacabra, was on the bill. I loved how heavy they were and had the time of my life headbanging and moshing. I had heard metal before, but had never seen it live. That was when I realized how much I actually liked ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Living in a town full of Jesus-worshipping hillbillies can inspire one to do a lot of things,” states Jess Morrison, the sole promoter behind Calgary, Alta.&#8217;s Devil&#8217;s Work Promotions, which found it&#8217;s start in 2007 in nearby Lethbridge.
“It was kind of a selfish beginning,” she candidly admits. “I was sick and tired of the bar scene/meat market full of grabby drunk dudes. I wanted to go to shows. No one was making it happen so I figured, &#8216;Why not me?&#8217;”
Morrison had no background in show promotion or booking at the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“It&#8217;s nice and tight and hot and you get a good connection with the audience; they&#8217;re right there,” breathes Mikael Stanne, his arms reaching out, fingers twisted, claw like.
The Dark Tranquillity frontman is relaxing on the band&#8217;s tour bus, parked just outside The Republik. Certainly not the stadiums and arenas the band usually plays, but a welcome venue, especially to watch the Swedish musician&#8217;s face light up when asked about the stages they&#8217;ve booked for the We Are The Void tour.
“It was so much fun yesterday,” he says, referring to ...]]></description>

Release Date: June 4, 2010
Label: Napalm Records
KING: It&#8217;s impossible to listen to  Necronomicon&#8217;s latest album and not draw comparisons to the likes of  Behemoth, Nile and Dimmu Borgir. But Necronomicon are much more than the  sum of those parts. They are certainly their own animal with a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ How do you support your metal community?
Most of my friends are metal heads, and and I try to go see their shows as often as I can. Which is great in Edmonton. There are so many good metal bands performing constantly, it&#8217;s hard to miss them all. Every show I go to, I try to bring a friend who hasn&#8217;t heard them before. It&#8217;s always great to see new friends meeting the old, and appreciating each other&#8217;s abilities.
Do you play the guitar you are posing with?
No talent on the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Derailed have travelled down the tracks of heavy metal mayhem since 2008, at least in their current formation. There&#8217;s a wealth of experience amongst the Calgary, Alta. four-piece, but for lead vocalist Johnie Sinclair and bassist Steve Legault, the band&#8217;s two newest members, they can hardly hold their excitement when describing the feeling of performing original and fresh material in a live setting.
“This is where I have always wanted to be,” exclaims Sinclair. “When I think back to when I was 15 and 16, sitting in a garage, this is ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To say I&#8217;m a big Alice Cooper fan is a bit of an understatement. My fascination with the king of shock rock started back in 1988 when Alice and crew came to my hometown. After seeing the videos for &#8220;He&#8217;s Back (The Man Behind The Mask)&#8221; and &#8220;Teenage Frankenstein,&#8221; the 9-year-old me decided that this should be the first rock concert I would attend. My mother, on the other hand, did not agree and in doing so inadvertently started a life-long obsession with Alice, and heavy metal in general. These ...]]></description>
