Singer Cristina Scabbia of the Italian rock/metal band LACUNA COILspoke to U.K.’s Terrorizer magazine about the band’s forthcoming album,“Dark Adrenaline”, which is scheduled for an early 2012 release viaCentury Media Records. “I can definitely say that it’s heavier and more obscure,” she said of the CD’s overall musical direction. “I think that during the songwriting, we go with the flow and do whatever we like, and we realized that what we enjoy the most when we perform is the heaviness and that melancholic feeling...

How important was it to separate your solo project, Thomas Giles, from Between The Buried And Me? Tommy Rogers: I think it was very important to separate the two. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people do solo projects that sound like their main band. I wanted to step outside of what I normally write and try something totally new. What’s different about writing music for you from writing music for a group of people, like...

At first glance, Option Paralysis seems like a highly inappropriate title to describe the constantly evolving output of The Dillinger Escape Plan. But once you’re faced with the cumulative power and vision of guitarist Ben Weinman, vocalist Greg Puciato, bassist Liam Wilson, guitarist Jeff Tuttle and new drummer Billy Rymer, you’ll wonder—right after you pick yourself up off the floor—why more bands don’t achieve similar force-of-nature status… “The title Option Paralysis represents being in a situation where you have...

Dream Theater have been extremely sensitive to the fact that...
