Post- NAMM I enjoyed this follow up with guitarist Michael Ciravolo of Schecter guitars, now i know what's new is his album "Beauty Re-Envisioned" which is a totally cool newer and different compilation mix of what might've ended up on the cutting room floor ... and it's great, coming out this June! "Finding Beauty in Chaos" is one of the best records I've heard in the last year or so, with an incredible appearance by Tish Ciravolo, and an unbelievable song dedicated to Hurricane Katrina victims called "Un-natural Disaster"... look out for the videos they are amazing to see!

Whoa, it's too cool that drummer Derek Abrams is playing for Ministry on the album release and upcoming tour, but he also gets along well with bandmate Sin Quirin. So, 3 Headed Snake will also be graced with him in the drumming throne. Really a great player, it's a pleasure to watch and listen to this guy, he knows his stuff!

Ministry's drummer Derek Abrams takes the time to chat about the upcoming album and tour! AmeriKKKant and his side band!

Ministry has got a new album coming out as soon as March, and it's called AmeriKKKant! This promises some of Sin's best guitar work yet. This is what he stated, that he felt quite proud of his work on previous albums and had definitely built up to an excellent sound on the new record. DJ Swamp has added some interesting instruments to it, and Al Jourgenson is sounding absolutely cool. A new tour for 2018 is in the workd so look for these awesome players too; John Bechdel, Sin Quirin, Cesar Soto, Tony Campos, Derek Abrams join Al Jourgenson for some of the best music ever from the band. Guess what Sin Quirin has in store, besides showing off his amazing signature model Schecter instruments which are for sale online; he's got a new side project. A new band called 3 Headed Snake is in the making and the vocalist is super his name is Johnny Ray.

Sin Quirin of Ministry chats w/ Hek82 about forthcoming albums, and these albums will be fantastic!

This bass player extraordinaire knows a lot about stuff that other people don't know! You wouldn't believe the hilarity of some of these songs, which were crafted with care by the Punk Rock group in the Huntington Beach part of the Ca. coast. Sure enough, the sound caught on in the nineties and became popular! I've heard his hobbies include bull riding, Amish cooking, and journeying to Iceland to be cool. He is also producing and writing for TV with shows on the History channel and others, ike "Ancient Aliens". Great works by Joe!

Joe Escalante of The Vandals chats w/ Hek82 about te Dec. 23rd upcoming concert at the HOB Anaheim!

Rough Cutt, the Glam Metal band was formed in the early 80's w/ the awesome and breathtaking vocals of Paul Shortino ... the members have stepped in and out of the picture but briefly, they have remained mostly constant members and their songs are famous. Very well enjoyed music over the years is now available on iTunes, for those of you who have their Vinyl in your collection. According to Hager, their time touring with Ronnie James Dio was very special, and so was recording in the same studio with him; actually hearing the rough cutt of his first album Holy diver, too cool! He also loves to play around LA, with upcoming shows in April 2018 that you should look out for!

Rough Cutt guitarist Chris Hager chats w/Hek82 about shows upcoming and Dio!
