Unearth: America is a total mess

posted by: David on 2 December 2008

When this interview with Unearth was done, Barack Obama had just been elected as the new president of the United States of America. We thought that would be a good moment to ask bassplayer John "Slo" Maggard about his political views. And about the new album 'The March' of course. Check it out!

Born From Pain – Spreading the message

posted by: David on 13 November 2008

After the release of the previous album ‘War’ a lot has happened with Born From Pain. Singer Ché quit the band, drummer Roel had a medical condition that stopped him from playing and replacement vocalist Kevin also quit because of medical problems. But eventually it all worked out well, with the new album ‘Survival’ as the culmination. With a new bass player (Andries from The Setup) and a new drummer (Roy from 37 Stabwoundz), the band is tighter than ever. And on top of that, they have a message to spread about everything that’s wrong in this world. Band leader and new vocalist Rob Franssen tells AsIce.net the whole story.

Dutch Heavyweights: Marco Payback vs Wouter Razorblade

posted by: David on 7 November 2008

Both Razorblade and Payback released a new album last month, and we at AsIce.net thought it would be a good idea to ask the boys a couple of questions. And, because we are lazy, even had them ask each other questions. Here we go!

Daniel from Bitter End: 'Just some dude from Texas'

posted by: David on 13 October 2008

In October 2007, San Antonio’s Bitter End released their first LP “Climate Of Fear” through Malfunction Records (who merged with Deathwish around that time). Because of all the praise this record got, there were a lot of people looking forward to their first European tour. I was one of those people, already seeing myself going off to the intro. But off course, the big question was if they'd be able to live up to the expectations... After a year of waiting, the time finally came: Bitter End were coming over, together with 50 Lions and Meltdown. Half way down their tour me and Thijs sat down with their singer Daniel Rosen, and talked about the tour, their first full-length, their upcoming 7” and his love for Kate Nash! Check it out!

Trash Talk - Living on the road

posted by: David on 10 October 2008

Touring Europe for the second time within one year, spreading the walking disease further and further, we thought the time was right to subject the guys in Trash Talk to a cross-examination. Our paths crossed at this year’s edition of the ZXZW festival in Tilburg, so after their manic live performance in The Little Devil, singer Lee and drummer Rashod were eager to answer some questions. Sipping on his bottle of beer, Dan Yemin of Paint It Black joined us as well. Read it here.
