  • Phil Anselmo: The Hellbound Interview

    “I really had some dark days, desperate days. It’s kind of baffling to me now…not really baffling because I understand where I was…I’ve been clean six years now and I look back and even before, back injuries, bone breakage, pain killers and all that shit came into my life, there was always some sort of…

  • On the Bus with Tom Gabriel Fischer

    “Once you have lived this for a while you are free to have different experiences. Each tour brings a new experience. But I’m a somewhat nostalgic guy. This is my seventh U.S. tour or something like that and there are a lot of memories. We played Portland last night and there was a full moon.…

  • Nashville Pussy/ Civet @ Crocks, Thunder Bay ON, October 26th, 2010

    “Having just endured a 10 hour power failure and one hell of a fall storm (90 mile an hour gusts of wind, seriously cold rain) I needed a bit of a party. Thankfully it was easily found at Crocks…” Jason Wellwood endures the elements and gives us his take on the recent Thunder Bay appearance…

  • Suicidal Tendencies/ Poison Idea/ Crutches @ the Showbox, Seattle WA Oct. 17, 2010

    “Yes, the glory days are behind them. Yes, they are not the young men they once were. But this show was not about recreating the past. It was about proving that the fighting spirit of Suicidal lives on. Their drive, their energy, their relentless positivity comes through in every single performance, every single song.” Cara…

  • Holy Grail: Better The Second Time Around

    “I think the biggest thing that has helped with the resurgence in classic power/speed metal is probably blogs and the internet. Plus, there’s so much crappy music out there that it seems only the classic metal/power/speed bands are worth listening to since they still stand the test of time.” Kevin Stewart-Panko in conversation with HOLY…

  • HELLBOUND RADIO: October 17th, 2010 Playlist

    Here is the playlist for the October 17th edition of HELLBOUND RADIO

  • The Secret: Channeling Frustration Into Fury

    Most of our lyrics are a reflection of the times and the country we’re living in. I think that the main lyrical concept of the record is the loss of faith in pretty much everything. Politics, religion, media. Playing is a very cathartic experience, so it’s something we’re doing mostly for ourselves. The band is…

  • Zodiac Mindwarp: The Hellbound Interview, Part 1

    “Touring is the greatest fun in the world for me! I love being out on the road, but I wish I could see some of the cities! Rome? Yeah, it was great! It was a black room with amplifiers and another room on the side with cocks drawn all over the wall…oh and Paris was…
