Ghost Cult Magazine was honored to interview Uri Zelcha of Oprhaned Land at this years’ Tuska Open Air Festival last weekend. Although the band hails from Israel, they are truly citizens of the metal world with their message of hope, peace and tolerance. TJ Fowler (also of Skullbanger Media) connected with Uri backstage and discussed a wide range of topics from playing festivals, touring the world, the 10 year anniversary of ‘Mabool’, playing unplugged, and trying to top ‘All Is One’.
TJ Fowler of Ghost Cult Magazine interviewed Frost of Satyricon at this years Tuska Open Air Festival. Frost discussed playing the summer festival circuit, touring, their latest album, and the influence his band has had on the black metal genre among other topics.
Ghost Cult’s correspondent for Finland and Scandinavia, TJ Fowler also does interviews and covers metal for his own website, Skullbanger Media. TJ spent last week At the Metalfest Loreley, Germany covering the festival and interviewing bands. One such band he interviewed was Sabaton, coming off their triumphant new album Heroes (Nuclear Blast). TJ was cool enough to allow Ghost Cult to also run his interview. In this often hilarious interview, TJ along with Joakim and Chris from Sabaton covered the new album, finding new lyrical themes about wars, touring behind the new album, and future touring plans in 2014. Thanks for sharing TJ and keep up the good work!
