Sjutton också... The summer has arrived, hasn't it?! Sunny, rainy, and even ice cold weather all together at Sweden Rock

However, it is time for the annual march to Sweden Rock.  This is the ninth time in a row that Metal-Rules.com has made a vist to the mighty Sweden Rock festival! All in all over 70 bands had been booked for the Sweden Rock festival that turned out to be nothing but an utter blast from the beginning to the end! The bill of Sweden Rock 2009 covered everything from extreme metal ala Immortal to classic rock ala Journey and of course everything between. Therefore, there was at least something for everyone who attended. As a tradition the whole festival was once again sold out when approximately 35,200 people and all the bands and crews etc at the area every day. As mentioned in the first sentence, this is the ninth time in a row when Sweden Rock has been featured on the site Metal-Rules.com, so it is quite logical for us to give a real in-depth article of several bands performing at Sweden Rock. We are not able to cover every bloody band, but hopefully you will have a pleasant reading experience… Enjoy or die !!!

MARK REALE

Although the New York based band RIOT was formed in 1975 by guitarist Mark Reale, they reached their biggest success in the early ‘80s with the classic release FIRE DOWN UNDER. The band then went on to release a number of albums before releasing the landmark disc THUNDERSTEEL . The now reunited, classic THUNDERSTEEL lineup consists of, in addition to founder Mark Reale, Tony Moore on vocals, Don Van Stavern on bass, Bobby Jarzombek on drums, with Mike Flyntz on second guitar. We caught up with Mark backstage at the Sweden Rock Festival to discuss some of the happenings in the past, present and future of RIOT, as well as his side venture, WESTWORLD.

Susperia - Bassist Memnock
Interviewed by Alan Gilkeson

Just three months ago Susperia were riding high, preparing to release their new album ATTITUDE, and anticipating UK tour dates. Then the unthinkable happened. Their singer Athera (Pål Mathisen) fell victim to a massive heart attack and had to undergo a triple bypass surgery. In Def Leppardesque fashion, Susperia have waited on their mate and are set to tour Europe and play festivals, hoping beyond hope to hit North American shores.

ATTITUDE is a killer Thrash Metal attack with a few guest appearances, including the legendary Chuck Billy from Testament. Further cementing themselves among the elite in the Thrash Metal game, armed with a new label and a new outlook on life, Susperia are in position to win over a mass of new fans. Bassist Memnock recently took a few moments to speak to us via the phone from his Norwegian home.

Since the early eighties vocalist/guitarist Michael Olivieri, guitarist Carey Howe and drummer Dean Roberts have been cranking out a triple axe attack of melodic metal under the banner of Leatherwolf. Currently rounded out by bassist Patrick Guyton and guitarist Greg Erba the band is enjoying some stateside success performing as part of "Heavy Metal Day" at this summer's Rocklahoma festival where they will join other classic metal favorites such as Saxon, Anthrax, Overkill and Metal Church. Also of note is that Leatherwolf fans should be pleased to find out that the band is in production of their first ever full length DVD release, while no release date is currently set for the DVD, anyone who has seen and heard the metal veterans live can certainly attest that it will be well worth the wait.
