Powerplay 242 July 2021
INTERVIEWS
It was surely only a matter of time until Powerwolf released an album with a title like ‘Call Of The Wild’ and here it is, with myth and legend aplenty, in all its fantasy power metal glory. Much more pure metal than their metalcore roots, Light The Torch blow the competition away this month with their amazing new album. As insanely talented as they are hard to categorize, Lord Of The Lost are making a big impact this month with their masterful double album about Judas Iscariot. Also in this issue are interviews with Fear Factory, At The Gates, Gilby Clarke, Gaia Epicus, Fargo, Alan King, Tommy’s Rocktrip, Vile A Sin, Dave Burn, Stonesilk, Zoe, Audio Reign, Internal Conflict, and Kaiser And The Machines Of Creation, plus we bring you a round-up of all the festivals that still have plans to go ahead, and we continue our ever-popular albums ranked series with Aerosmith.
