Third Eye Cinema 4/20/14 with Liv Kristine of Leaves Eyes

This week on Third Eye Cinema: gothic Viking chanteuse Liv Kristine returns to talk Leaves Eyes! As a founding member of the band who nigh singlehandedly birthed the gothic metal genre, Theatre of Tragedy, and with four further albums under her belt as a solo act, Liv has progressed to the pinnacle of fame fronting the classiest and most beloved of pagan/symphonic acts, the mighty Leaves Eyes, alongside husband, producer and mastermind Alex Krull (Atrocity, Mastersound Studios)!   With their latest Symphonies of the Night representing a strong return to form hearkening back to the days of Lovelorn, Vinland Saga and particularly the excellent Legend Land, please join us as we speak to one of the true leading lights in gothic and pagan metal, the lovely and talented Liv Kristine, only here on Third Eye Cinema! http://www.facebook.com/ThirdEyeCinema http://thirdeyecinema.wordpress.com/

Third Eye Cinema 4/13/14 with Lanvall of Edenbridge

This week on Third Eye Cinema, we speak with a man whose band's unusually uplifting and musically engaging style and approach places them in a category all their own! With their particularly positive, even spiritual approach to metal incorporating a non-standard usage of two handed guitar, a strong background in classical composition and perhaps an unconscionable number of key change modulations per song, he and longtime partner and vocalist the lovely Sabine Edelsbacher have built themselves their own special niche, more unlike any of their ostensible peers than most bands can truly lay claim to in today’s often overcrowded market. With us to talk the recent remasters and reissues of the original five Edenbridge albums as well as their new side project Voiciano, join us as we speak with a truly unique force in the metal scene, the one and only Lanvall! http://www.facebook.com/ThirdEyeCinema http://thirdeyecinema.wordpress.com/

Third Eye Cinema 3/30/14 with Steve "Zetro" Souza of Exodus, Legacy and Hatriot

This week on Third Eye Cinema, legendary thrash veteran Steve "Zetro" Souza! From his earliest days fronting the band that would become the mighty Testament to his long association with the punishing Exodus, his snarling Bon Scott inspired vocals are part and parcel of any number of classic 80’s Bay Area thrash standards!   Now re-emerging with a uniquely family-centric yet pummeling combo that hearkens back to the Pleasures of the Flesh era sound that he made famous, he's back and more aggressive than ever! Not losing a whit of his biting politicosocial commentary or classic thrash aggression to time and fatherhood, join us as we get down to the nitty gritty about his respective bands, the state of the world today, and the surprisingly neck-breaking retro-styled assault of Hatriot, with the man, the myth: Steve "Zetro" Souza! http://www.facebook.com/ThirdEyeCinema http://thirdeyecinema.wordpress.com/

Third Eye Cinema 2/23/14 with D.C. Cooper of Royal Hunt and Silent Force

This week on Third Eye Cinema: we speak with another golden voiced metal frontman! With his syrupy-smooth tones gracing the better part of the discography of no less than two major players in the European power metal scene, he was a founding member of both Alex Beyrodt’s Silent Force and Andre Andersen’s symphonically oriented Royal Hunt!   Lending a smooth and clean veneer to many a recording over the past 20 years, this man also proves to be unusually introspective and civic minded, serving for many years as both volunteer firefighter and EMS tech in his East Coast hometown in addition to his European touring and recording duties! Recently reunited with his former bandmates in Royal Hunt at the behest of both fans and fellow musicians, join us as we premier vocalists in metal, the one and only D.C. Cooper! Week 74 (Sun. Feb. 23): D.C. Cooper of Royal Hunt and Silent Force http://www.facebook.com/ThirdEyeCinema http://thirdeyecinema.wordpress.com/

Third Eye Cinema 2/16/14 with Mark Boals of Ring of Fire and Iron Mask

This week on Third Eye Cinema: one of the premier vocalists of modern metal! Working alongside such rock veterans as Ulrich “uli jon” Roth, Ted Nugent and Savoy Brown, he exploded onto the metal scene as the pipes behind Swedish neoclassical shredder Yngwie Malmsteen's classic Trilogy album in 1986! Appearing on later Malmsteen offerings Inspiration, Alchemy and War to End all Wars as well as releasing three solo records and briefly replacing D.C. Cooper in Danish symphonic power metal act Royal Hunt, he now works double duty fronting both Belgian power metal/shredders Iron Mask and his own Ring of Fire alongside Trans-Siberian Orchestra keyboardist Vitalij Kuprij and legendary Shrapnel Records shredder Tony MacAlpine! Join us as we speak to another of the great metal vocalists, Mark Boals, only here on Third Eye Cinema! Week 73 (Sun. Feb. 16) Mark Boals of Ring of Fire, Iron Mask, Royal Hunt and Yngwie Malmsteen http://www.facebook.com/ThirdEyeCinema http://thirdeyecinema.wordpress.com/
