INTERVIEW: KEV BOWER From HELL Discusses New Album And More On Bloodstock Radio

DJ Blackdiamond of Bloodstock Radio recently conducted an interview with Kev Bower from legendary English metal band HELL, which was aired on Blackdiamond’s Metal Mayhem show today. The interview is in two parts and can be listened to on the Soundcloud links below.

When discussing the new album that the band are working on, Kev had the following to say:

“”Andy Sneap and myself have worked very hard. We’ve spent time in the studio and recorded everything as demos. We’re actually learning to play all this stuff as a band and get it really tight as a band, before we actually commit any of it to a proper recording.
One of the great things about Human Remains is that it sounds like a band playing, because it was and that’s one of the things we’re very keen not to lose on the second album.
We’re about 90% of the way there with the songs.

As the band’s principal songwriter, the pressure that I’ve felt on my shoulders over the past year or so, to deliver something that’s at least equal to that, has been enormous really. It’s taken a lot of courage and commitment to spend literally days in the studio, putting together complex keyboard and orchestral parts, then deleting the whole lot because I didn’t think it was good enough.

We’re really excited about it and think people will love the second album. It will definitely be a recognisable HELL album. It’ll be a little bit darker, both in terms of its subject matter and its lyrical content and some of the music.”

The BLOODSTOCK team have made the following announcement:

Bloodstock Radio is launched on Saturday, December 1. This is a rebranding for TotalRock, one of the most respected and pioneering of rock/metal radio stations.

But it’s not just a case of TotalRock under a new name, because it will see an overhaul of the broadcasting schedule, with some major names coming on board to present weekly shows.
Metal Hammer Editor Alexander Milas will present a show from 4pm every Friday, while Iron Fist Editor Louise Brown has a three-hour show every Wednesday from 1pm.

There’s also a welcome return for some of the most popular DJs in TotalRock’s twelve year history. Mighty Matt Mason is back every Friday from 9pm, while Talita Twoshoes and Feebz launch the week each Monday from 7am.
Joining this stellar cast are names already well known to Bloodstock Festival devotees. Simon Hall kick’s off proceedings at 9am on Saturday with his regular ‘Metal 2 The Masses’ roundup from Bloodstock HQ. Black Diamond’s Metal Mayhem happens from 10am each Tuesday, while DJ Beerman is on at 9pm the same day. Miss Bomb explodes on the airwaves at 9am every Thursday, with Gimli taking over at the other end of the same day, at 9pm.
Let’s not forget the hugely successful team of DJs who have kept TotalRock as the nations favourite on-line metal station for so long. These include those who broadcast live from France and Spain, making Bloodstock Radio a truly international station.
December 1 – the day the music’s reborn. Louder, prouder and Bloodier!

Norwegian Metaler, Silenoz of DIMMU BORGIR was interviewed by Blackdiamond of FIREBRAND ROCK RADIO in their Evening with Dimmu Borgir show in Nottingham city, on 24/11/11.


“I love it, absolutely love the new album, it’s the best since Metal Heart” Silenoz said his opinion about “Blood of the nations” the latest album of ACCEPT.
Also he claimed this about their upcoming 20th anniversary album: “To be in this industry for 20 years and still be a force to be reckoned with is really great, so we will do something special. It’s not like we’ll make a really different album just because it’s 20 years, but we’ve written some new material and have some cool ideas brewing“

You can watch this interview below:

DIMMU BORGIR‘s most recent touring lineup included Geir Bratland (APOPTYGMA BERZERK, THE KOVENANT) on keyboards and Terje Andersen (a.k.a. Cyrus; SUSPERIA) on bass.

“Abrahadabra”, the ninth album from DIMMU BORGIR, sold 9,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 42 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band’s previous CD, “In Sorte Diaboli”, opened with 14,000 units back in May 2007 to debut at No. 43. This was more than double the 6,400 first-week tally achieved by its predecessor, “Death Cult Armageddon”, which came out in September 2003 and landed at position No. 169 on The Billboard 200 chart.

The word “abrahadabra” (which roughly translates into “I will create as I speak”) first publicly appeared in Chapter III of “Liber AL vel Legis” (commonly referred to as “The Book Of The Law”) written by Aleister Crowley in Cairo, Egypt in 1904.

“Abrahadabra” was released in Germany on September 24, 2010, in the rest of Europe on September 27, 2010, and it was made available in North America on October 12, 2010 via Nuclear Blast Records.
