I’ve just posted my latest interview with guitarist Kaoru of the Japanese art rock legends Dir En Grey. Check out the Interviews section for our chat (through a translator) about their new album, bringing back the visual aspect of the band, and his continued outspokenness about the continuing effects of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of 2011. 

Good interviews never die. So as my holiday gift to you I’m proud to introduce the first installment of The Zombitrol Vaults, featuring an interview with Within Temptation vocalist Sharon den Adel. Watch it now in the Interviews section.
