BRIAN VOLLMER
INTERVIEW AND LIVE PICTURES BY MARKO SYRJALA
Helix are a Canadian hard rock/heavy metal band formed in Ontario in 1974. The band are best known for their early 80’s albums NO REST FOR THE WICKED, WALKIN’ THE RAZOR’S EDGE and LONG WAY TO HEAVEN which was a chart topping album in Sweden in 1985. Their most known lineup was the 80s version of the band: Vollmer on vocals, accompanied by guitarists Brent Doerner and Paul Hackman, bassist Daryl Gray, and drummer Greg "Fritz" Hinz. The history of the band has been marked by many lineup changes, with Vollmer being the sole constant member and only remaining member of the original lineup.

Akarusa Yami: Vocalist Tom Brumpton & guitarist Tom K
Interviewed by Kirsty Birkett-Stubbs
They call it caffeine fueled metal, in which case Akarusa Yami should be looking to take out shares in Red Bull after a monstrously busy year that saw them climb to the lofty heights of Bloodstock. After just over 12 months as a fully fledged band, and following the recent release of debut album ‘Ouroboros’, vocalist Tom Brumpton, and guitarist Tom K take a few moments of breathing space to reflect on what’s still to come...

Machine Head visited Finland supporting the newest album UNTO THE LOCUST by playing two sold out gigs in a row. Before the four-piece got on the stage at the Circus club in Helsinki I had a pleasant interview session with the band’s guitarist Phil Demmel who was gearing up for the gig. The sixth album UNTO THE LOCUST once again proves the band’s ability to create a murderous groove whipping songs. Phil Demmel tells more about the making process of the album and finally both the interviewer and guitarist try to calculate how many times he has visited Finland.
