INTERVIEW : Jakob Svensson (Wigelius)

"...Wigelius with their debut album, "Reinventions", left us hungry for more! For more melodies, for more catchy songs and generally for more good music. Nowadays, the band released its brand new single "Please, please, please" which is the perfect appetizer of what to expect from its up-coming new album later this year. Jakob Svensson, the guitarist of Wigelius is back again to Heavy Paradise to share some really interesting things about the new Wigelius record but also some other cool stuff. Enjoy!...."

Heavy Paradise : Hello, Jake, it’s really a pleasure to have you back in Heavy Paradise for another interview!

Jakob : Hi! Thanks for having me back!! Always a pleasure talking to you guys!

Heavy Paradise : You guys in Wigelius left us hungry with your catchy single “Please, please, please”! Really awesome tune, Jake! Can you give us a ‘picture’ of how the new album will sound and when it’s gonna be released? Are there going to be differences between the debut and the new one?

Jakob: Thanks man!! I’m glad you liked it!

We really feel that we’re on the right path here. The new tracks are a good projection of where we wanna go sonically. We’re aiming for a tighter sound with some modern stuff thrown in there. It’s just like before with lots of guitars and huge drums but with a smother production. I just have to mention that Eric is an extremely talented producer and engineer. And the way we can discuss and come up with everything in the studio is just killer!   

This release is going to be different from the debut for sure and we can only hope that people will like it even better!

We’re so blessed finding Pär Winberg at Atenzia Records that really believes in us and lets us go our own way! The new album will hopefully be out this fall!

INTERVIEW : MARCO VITALI OF IBRIDOMA

IBRIDOMA is an Italian heavy band that was originally formed in 2001 by Alessandro Morroni(drums). Soon the band took flesh and blood with the addition of singer Christian Bartolacci,Simone Mogetta (guitars), Pietro Alessandrini (rhythm guitars) and Lorenzo Petrini on bass.

The band's first big success was the first prize at the "Rock Around The Road" festival in 2004. After that, Ibridoma have started to work on their own material and, finally, in 2005 they released their debut EP with the title "Lady Of Darkness". This album received some solid reviews in the net and Ibridoma's future was looking bright! In 2007, guitarist Marco Vitali came on board and "Page 26", their second album, was a fact. The band participated in many live gigs and toured with big names such as Uli Jon Roth, Richie Kotzen and Blaze Bayley among others.

"Night Club" is the band's last album, in 2012, and it's a nice piece of old school metal stuff with very good arrangements, hooks and choruses and bottom line is that this band has plenty of talent and that 's a thing that reflect to their music. Marco Vitali talked to Heavy Paradise about the band's past, present and future....enjoy!!!!

Heavy Paradise : Hello, and welcome to Heavy Paradise for this interview.

Marco : Hi, thank you for the interview, i' m very pleased to be here.

Heavy Paradise : Firstly and before starting this interview, can you tell us some things about yourself and a short bio of who is‘Ibridoma’ ?

Marco : Our band was formed in 2001 by our drummer Alessandro "THE BOSS"  Morroni who wanted to make some kind of new heavy metal. After a couple of years, we released our first EP "Lady of darkness", then the lead guitarist left the band and i joined them and with this formation we produced "Page 26", after other line-up changes we released two full-lenght albums, "Ibridoma" and "Night Club". During this years we played with many artist like Manowar and Virgin
Steele in Magic Circle Fest, and Rhapsody of Fire in their european tour in 2012.

INTERVIEW WITH HARRY HESS (HAREM SCAREM)

Harry Hess is without any doubt one of the best performers, songwriters and producers in the melodic hard rock scene during the last two decades. His work with Harem Scarem was and still is amazing!! Hess colaborated as a songwriter as well as a guest vocalist with a lot of bands/artists. In 2010, Hess was back in business with the solid project First Signal that received some great reviews and it was a back to his roots album. Nowadays, this great musician is back with his brand new "Living In Yesterday" via Frontiers Records  due 24th August. Below you are going to read a very interesting interview that Harry Hess gave to me and talked about his Harem Scarem days, his plans, the new album but, also, some other interesting stuff as well. Enjoy!

Heavy Paradise : Hello Harry and welcome to Heavy Paradise for this interview. It's really an honor to have you here!

Hess : Thank you!!!!

Heavy Paradise : So let's start this interview with your forthcoming album which is going to be released in August by Frontiers. How long did it take you for the recordings of the new album?

Hess : I worked on it for about a year off and on between other projects. The writing portion was longer because I picked songs from various writing sessions over the last 3 years.
