The Swedish all-star act Witchery have recently released DON'T FEAR THE REAPER.  They have also changed record labels.  I hooked up with guitar player Jensen and we talked about many things.  So all new and old fans of this act have some more back info on this.

Recently I hooked up with one of the Drover brothers, drummer Shawn Drover, to talk about their band Eidolon that just released a new album.  In the interview we talk about Eidolon's past, present, and future.  Besides playing in Eidolon, both brothers are also busy members in Megadeth. 

Face Down is a cult thrash band that recently re-united and released the ass-kicking new album THE WILL TO POWER.  My mission was to get in touch with Joacim Hedestedt and ask him some questions about the bands past history, the album and so on but for some reasons he couldn’t do an interview so instead I had the luck to talk with Joacim Carlsson that plays guitar. 

Wow!  This is the sixth time that the Finnish Metal-Rules squad makes an invasion to the mighty Swedenrock festival.  Over 60 bands descended on the the southern area of Sweden for a festival that turned out to be nothing but an utter blast!  The bill of Swedenrock festival 2006 covers a wide range of metal styles and even classic rock stuff (Journey and Molly Hatchet).  Therefore, there was at least something for everyone who attended the festival.  As usual, the whole festival was once again sold out when around 20,000 people arrived at the area every day.  The Swedenrock festival has always had tremendous luck with the weather as once again the gods of weather blessed this rocking metallic heaven on the earth with an extreme hot and sunny weekend that burned red the skin of several festival goers. 

As stated in the first sentence, this is the sixth time that the Swedenrock festival has been featured in the site of Metal-Rules.com, so it is quite logical for us to give a real in-depth article of several bands performing at Swedenrock.  Enjoy !!!
