▬About A Pale Horse Named Death ▬
Music is our saviour in even the darkest of times. A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH have demonstrated this unwavering truth throughout their first decade. Founded and led by multi-instrumentalist and Type O Negative alumnus SAL ABRUSCATO, the New York-based crew opened their creative account in 2011, with stunning debut album And Hell Will Follow Me: a slow-motion avalanche of crushing riffs, dark melodies and profound melancholy, with Abruscato’s heart-wrenching lyrics providing its songs with a deep emotional core.
In 2013, A Pale Horse Named Death released their second album, Lay My Soul To Waste. Musically opulent and even more punishing in sonic terms than its predecessor, it was widely acclaimed as the Brooklyn unit’s finest work to date. Innumerable live shows confirmed that the band were forging strong connections with a dedicated and passionate audience, and despite a six-year wait, the third APHND album emerged in 2019 to a uniformly positive response. Of course, the album in question - When The World Becomes Undone – was blessed with what now seems an eerily prophetic title, as within months of its release, the whole world locked down.

▬ About Nothing More ▬
Nothing More is an American rock band from San Antonio, Texas. Formed in 2003, the band spent much of the 2000s recording independent albums and struggling to maintain a steady lineup or attract record label interest. Towards the end of the decade, the band's long-time drummer, Jonny Hawkins, decided to switch to being the band's frontman and lead vocalist, stabilizing the band's core lineup along with other long-time members Mark Vollelunga (guitar) and Daniel Oliver (bass). The band self-funded and recorded their fourth studio album, Nothing More, over the course of three years and used it to gain the attention of Eleven Seven Music record label, who signed the band to a five album record contract upon hearing it. The album became the band's breakthrough release in 2014, with multiple charting singles, including "This is the Time (Ballast)", which hit number 1 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart and number 2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, and "Mr. MTV", "Jenny", and "Here's to the Heartache" all charting in the top 15 of both charts.
The band began working on a follow-up in 2016 while continuing to tour in support of their self-titled release, and in September 2017, released their fifth studio album - their second on a major record label - The Stories We Tell Ourselves. The lead single, "Go to War", outperformed the prior singles, topping the Mainstream Rock chart, and the release earned the band three Grammy Award nominations; Best Rock Album for the album, and Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance for "Go to War". The band continued to promote the release moving into 2018, releasing singles, "Do You Really Want It?" and "Just Say When", and embarking on multiple North American tours into 2019.

UNDERØATH Timothy (Tim) McTague was the guest of Karim Benamor on an interview during Download Festival Paris on June 15 2018.
We spoke about the come back of Underoath, about faith and religion:
- UNDERØATH is more than 20 years old, long long road
- Why the band disbanded in a moment when it was on top : 2 Grammy nominations and #8 on Billboard 200
- does someone when he is in a band for so much time feels like a slave in this band
- Is being a normal person with a daily job annoying ?
- After 20 years as Christian Hardcore band, did you lose your faith?
- Having the religious band label means no sex and drug and rock'n'roll
- "Erase me" as a model, I am who I am?
- Getting out from religious label in a time where religion (Trumb, Christian activism, Isis...) is important
- it's supposed to be the same god for christian and muslims and jewish...
- after 20 years of existence, have you questioned yourself about your future as a band?
- Have you got the same anger nowadays?
- Do you know where is Tunisia?

Emilio Crespo, vocal of melancholic black metal symbiosis SOJOURNER, was the guest of ZanZanA Live Stream Metal Interview hosted by Karim Benamor on thursday June 3.
We spoke about "Perennial”, released as an exclusive vinyl edition and digitally on June 4 via Napalm Records.
▬ about SOJOURNER and Perennial ▬
Like no other, the maestros of levitating bleakness captivate the listener by combining harsh black metal influences and instrumental folk interludes with atmospheric soundscapes, while painting a picture of unexplored nature alongside an endless journey towards the horizon. “Perennial” comes along with the stunning hymn “Relics of the Natural Realm”, a sequel to the band’s very first song "Heritage of the Natural Realm", that captures the identity of wilderness transferred into beautiful melodies and enchanting vocals.
Throughout their meaningful lyricism, erupting in Emilio Crespo’s intense growls while being carried on through the ethereal vocals of new vocalist Lucia Amelia Emmanueli, SOJOURNER reaches the innermost soul to leave a long lasting impact. With color of their own and unique musical identity, and every note of this exceptional progression created by songwriting genius Mike Lamb, the six-piece is ready to write another chapter in their marvelous book of atmospheric black metal tales.

Herman Frank, ACCEPT/VICTORY guitar legend, was the guest of ZanZanA Live Stream Metal Interview hosted by Karim Benamor on tuesday June 1 at 07:30 pm (gmt+1).
The guitarist and producer Herman Frank has been an integral part of the German metal scene since the beginning of the 80s. Starting with ACCEPT to VICTORY to his solo project, which was launched in 2009, the Hanoverian has proved a receipe for uncompromising heavy metal.
With the albums "Loyal To None", "Right In The Guts" (https://amzn.to/3oXxobC), "The Devils Ride Out" (https://amzn.to/3wAwODu) and "Fight The Fear" (https://amzn.to/34p1600) Frank and his comrades-in-arms are causing storms of enthusiasm in both the press and the fans.
And there is no question that the fifth album "Two For A Lie" will seamlessly follow on from this. True to the motto "Never change a winning team", Herman Frank has once again put his faith in the collaboration with MASTERPLAN front vocalist Rick Altzi and JADED HEART bassist Michael "Mülli" Müller, newly hired were guitarist Mike Pesin and drummer Kevin Kott on board of the battleship.
Like its predecessors, the album impresses through Frank's characteristic guitar play, in which razorsharp riffs meet rousing solos, Alchi's brilliant vocals and the rhythm section grooving like clockwork provide the rest.
"Two For A Lie" (https://amzn.to/2RJJPfk) was produced by Herman Frank himself together with co-producer Arne Neurand, recorded and mixed in the venerable Horus Sound Studios in Hannover and mastered by Robin Schmidt. Kai Swillus from Gestaltungskommando Buntmetall" made the cover design and artwork.

Scar Of The Sun were the guest of ZanZanA Live Stream Metal Interview hosted by Karim Benamor on thursday May 6 at 8:30 PM (gmt+1).

▬ about Scar Of The Sun ▬
Greece’s SCAR OF THE SUN lends a voice to social injustice, merging scientific lyricism with energetic modern metal!
After sharing the stage with outstanding acts such as Dark Tranquillity and Insomnium, as well as compatriots Rotting Christ, Greek modern metal five-piece SCAR OF THE SUN is poised to reach the next level with the release of their otherworldly third full-length, Inertia (May 14 via Napalm Records).
The album delivers a fresh take on melodic, atmospheric, often progressively-influenced metal while forging a unique path, and acts as a follow up to their self-titled demo (2005), debut full-length A Series Of Unfortunate Concurrencies (2011) and sophomore offering In Flood (2016).
On Inertia, SCAR OF THE SUN utilizes scientific terminology to transmit their impassioned messages of difficult trials and social awareness lyrically, conveying an overarching theme that reflects one of society’s heaviest burdens – that financial gain has flourished at the expense of humanity and the livelihoods of everyday people. Instrumental intro “Hydrogen” stirs things up before kicking in with hard-hitting title track “Inertia”, evoking a truly thunderous verse and, propelled by blasting drums, leads into an undeniably catchy chorus. With its razor-sharp riffs, “I Am The Circle'' refuses to compromise and genuinely reflects on the toughest aspects of being a musician, while the “Quantum Leap Zero”- trilogy conveys very intense and dramatic events that occured in Greece in 2015: Suppression, rise/revolution and huge defeat in the end. Beginning with “Quantum Leap Zero I: Torque Control”, SCAR OF THE SUN unveils a whole new instrumental facet of the record, splicing their soundscapes with distinctively desolate vibes. “Quantum Leap Zero II: Transition To Turbulence”, on the other hand, calls for an untamed storm to annihilate everything, followed by atmospheric “Oxygen”, smashing “The Fallible Experiment” and poignant trilogy-closer “Quantum Leap Zero III: Thrust”. Inertia ends with “Anastasis” (Greek for “resurrection”), an intense track about the terrible pain of losing someone you love. With this closer, SCAR OF THE SUN manages to put agony into words and turn this palpable despair into emotive music.
Inertia was recorded and mixed by singer and songwriting mastermind Terry Nikas at Zero Gravity Studios in Athens, Greece and mastered by the legendary Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Dimmu Borgir) at Fascination Street Studios, Sweden.
