We all have a dark side. I've always felt the most at home with people whose darkness is on their exterior. More often than not, they tend to be all the more colourful on the inside (From Lise Myhre)

BonFire Rose on Higher Ground

Friend.X aka Mr. Deep·
I can easily count them as one of my heroes from my youth. Apart from a short hiatus in the late 90s, the band has been around since 1972, first under the name Cacumen and since 1986 as Bonfire. The new album “Higher Ground” release is set on 24th January, three singles have already been released and the tour of the same name has just started. Tonight they play the legendary 7er Club in Mannheim.

PATRIARKH – Prorok Ilja

Friend.X aka Mr. Deep·
Today is the time for an extraordinary album release and one of the earliest in 2025. I listened to it on Christmas Day and I thought it was very appropriate for the day. Of course it is not a Christmas album or any kind of radio-oriented adult music, but the mood was just perfect. Enough said, of course we are talking about PATRIARKH's return with a masterpiece of arcane Black Metal!

Frozen Crown – War Hearts

Friend.X aka Mr. Deep·
I have seen this band live several times as support so far and what I talk about today makes me hungry for a headliner tour. Italian Power/Symphonic-Metalists Frozen Crown release their fifth album, the first one under the label of Napalm Records and with six members. After the fulminant “Call Of The North” it is now time for the “War Hearts”. I also interviewed guitarist and co-founder Federico Mondella a few days before the tour started and their album release, so pay attention to this interesting and detailed interview. Otherwise, here we go.

Chatting with Federico of Frozen Crown

Friend.X aka Mr. Deep·
It is a few days before the tour start together with Ad Infinitum and Blackbriar in support of Kamelot. During the first days of the tour, Frozen Crown’s new album “War Hearts” will be released. I meet Federico Mondelli, guitarist and founder of Frozen Crown for an interview. We have already scheduled it for double the time than usual and I have quite a list of topics… We are both no native English speakers, and the questions were not scripted but as spontaneous as possible,

On the Edge with Margarita

Friend.X aka Mr. Deep·
Margarita Monet, the vocalist of Edge Of Paradise and I had spent several hours together already. We’ve been talking about this and that, flight, gear, problems, tour, etc. since I met the band two hours prior doors opened. We almost forgot that we had scheduled an interview. Thus, most of the questions had already been answered by Margarita but not been recorded. We finally sit down backstage around midnight when the venue is emptying, and everybody can become a bit more relaxed.

The Fun Interview with Nanowar Of Steel

Friend.X aka Mr. Deep·
It is always lovely to meet the one or other artist during festivals. Either by accident because they run into you or the other way round, or because you are scheduled for an interview with them. I've rarely had more fun in less time than during this interview with Gtto. Even Lisa from Napalm Records said afterwards, "This is a band you have to understand and get into, but you have the right kind of humour for it."
