LIVE ‘N LOUD MEETS CANNIBAL CORPSE
I caught up with Pat O’Brien, the lead guitarist from Cannibal Corpse on Saturday afternoon. For a guy from the most brutal band ever, he was definitely an incredibly nice guy.

LIVE ‘N LOUD MEETS JOB FOR A COWBOY
On Saturday afternoon of Heavy MTL, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Job for a Cowboy’s bass player, Nick Schendzielos.

HEAVY MTL 2012 DAY TWO: MUSICAL MAYHEM ON SUNDAY FUNDAY
Day two of Heavy MTL was just as excellent as day one, but this time, with sun! After the rain on Saturday, it was nice to get a bit of sun on Sunday. The Jagermeister stage and the Heavy MTL stage switched places, which was probably nice for the people who paid extra for bleacher [...]
HEAVY MTL 2012 DAY ONE: METAL AND MUD
My second weekend in a row spent in Parc Jean Drapeau was for Heavy MTL. A vast departure from my previous weekend, spent at Osheaga, it was still a very pleasant weekend. Even though pleasant is the least metal word that I could use to describe a weekend of metal. This weekend, the [...]
