It was a nice spring evening when I turned up to K17 in Friedrichshain, Berlin to check out HYPOCRISY. I got there early to catch up with workaholic and HYPOCRISY frontman Peter Tägtgren for a little pre-gig chat in the tour bus.
Apart from the tragic incident when bass player Slawomir "Mortifer" Archangielskij from the support band HATE – passed away in his sleep just two days prior to this interview, everything is going forward for HYPOCRISY.
You’re currently on the road in support of your new album ”End Of Disclosure” – which is your 12th studio album. How has the tour been so far?
– It's been really good until this shit happened with HATE, you know. Other than that it's been fantastic, one of the best we've done so far.
Have you been informed of what happened with Mortifer?
– (Sighs). I don't know if it's something he was born with... his heart just stopped. Not because of drugs or anything like that. I mean he was only 27 years old so... but we'll find out when they know. What can you say? It's insane.

Technical death/grind is not only hard to play. It is also hard to find the right balance between memorable songwriting and hyperfast technical brutality. One new-comer that does this with impressive excellence and clearly inspired by NILE, ORIGIN and other masters of the genre is four-piece OMNIHILITY from Eugene, Oregon, in the US. Their debut album "Biogenesis" was released in September of last year and after buying it recently I was so impressed I got in touch with them to have a talk. Guitarist Dan Rabago was kind enough to answer my questions.
Your first album, "Biogenesis", has been out for some time now. What kind of feedback have you gotten so far?
– The reviews on "Biogenesis" have been great! It actually made a list of the top ten albums of 2012! We have been pretty excited about all the positive things people have been saying about it.

This interview was conducted backstage at the Brewhouse music venue in Gothenburg, Sweden, on November 3rd, 2012, before Devins concert which was opened by FEAR FACTORY and Swedish SCAR SYMMETRY. The interview centered around his role as an artist. Among other things Devin actually talked about having to sacrifice things in life to the way he has chosen, a topic he hasn't addressed much in interviews before. Devin also talked about his Swedish connections (with drummer Morgan Ågren and producer Jens Bogren), his new record which is in the making and will be completely different, and his will to stay non-political and beeing an entertainer, for many years to come. He also spoke about the way the music business has evolved and how he has been forced to adapt, his way beeing the over-creative one.

CriticalMass.se kicks off a series of video interviews by Bella Qvist with BARONESS.
It’s been just under a week since the tour bus of American progressive sludge metal band BARONESS crashed, sliding off a slippery road near Bath in the UK and leaving the bus completely trashed. The accident not only saw the band cancelling the rest of their European tour, but it had several band and crew members hospitalised. Left with broken limbs and a couple of fractures vertebrae, the touring band had a lucky escape.
Two days before the road incident, Bella Qvist interviewed BARONESS lead singer and guitarist John Baizley. Captured in the videos below, John not only talks about the latest album but opens up about the terror of sharing true emotions with an audience, dealing with stage anxiety and the challenge of finding good food in Europe.

Canadian emo rockers SILVERSTEIN recently finished their biggest European tour to date, visiting as many as eighteen countries. Whilst the band was still on the road, Critical Mass’ Bella Qvist got a quick chat with the humble bassist Billy Hamilton who spoke about their many hardcore fans, magical connections and making every day count.
Billy picks up the phone. He is in Malmö in the south of Sweden, hanging with his best friend Jana. Having started out in 2000, him and his band SILVERSTEIN have travelled the globe many a time and now Billy meets familiar faces wherever they go...
