Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life bring you an interview with guitarist Manuel Kohlert of post-hardcore band, Future Palace.

It has been an incredible couple of years for the post-hardcore trio Future Palace, expanding out of their native Germany, and taking the whole world by storm, both on record and live.

Capitalising on that release has been the goal since it came out, and Future Palace have toured far and wide. Including a quick stop over to the UK for three dates on October 10th, 11th, and 12th. One of which was in London.

Read our full review of the live show here: https://www.gbhbl.com/live-review-future-palace-venues-at-the-underworld-camden-london-10-10-23/

Before they took to the stage that night though, we sat down with guitarist and songwriter, Manuel Kohlert. Talking about this tour, playing live, how they got here, Future Palace goals, the future, and so much more.

The GBHBL Whiplash - Episode 373: Manuel Kohlert (Guitars) of Future Palace

Norwegian metallers Borknagar are back with their brand-new album, ‘Fall’, out on February 23rd, 2024, via Century Media Records.

Concerning the new album, we said:

There are many outstanding points to crow about with this new album, but perhaps the most significant is the balance. The balance of instruments, the balance of talents, the balance of epic soundscapes and heaviness, the balance of Borknagar history and forward movement. Fall has it all, and it is one of the most well put together releases we’ve had from this band. Showcasing a freshness to things, while also being undeniably Borknagar.

Read our full review here: https://www.gbhbl.com/album-review-borknagar-fall-century-media-records/

We spoke to guitarist Øystein G. Brun about the new album, the journey to its release, his process and ability to focus on the music, the consistent love of doing this, growing as an artist, and so much more.

Rising from the ashes of ALAZKA & Time, The Valuator, brand new group FLOYA emerge onto the music scene. The German duo of Phil Bayer & Marv Wilder establish a wild blend of solid rock foundations alongside modern EDM elements and world music, inspired by their childhood influences, namely Peter Gabriel, U2 & Sting.

Carving a name for themselves individually in the past as the founders and songwriters of their praised acts, Phil & Marv are now headed on a journey of their own. FLOYA will release their debut album ‘Yume’ on March 8th, 2024, via Arising Empire.

It’s an anthemic listen, with some really sweet melodies, plenty of robust rockiness, and a creative flair that shows the duo have had lengthy song-writing careers already.

Read our full review of Yume here: https://www.gbhbl.com/album-review-floya-yume-arising-empire/

We spoke to vocalist Phil and guitarist Marv about the new album, the work that went into it, what they wanted to accomplish, trying to live up to expectations, and so much more.

Iconic death metal band, Six Feet Under return with their 14th studio album, ‘Killing for Revenge’. A gnarly beast of a record that’s not for the faint-hearted, dishing up nightmare-inducing imagery. It marks the second album that Barnes and guitarist Jack Owen (ex-Cannibal Corpse) have created together since reuniting for 2020’s ‘Nightmares of the Decomposed’.

The current line-up of Barnes, guitarists Owen and Ray Suhy, bassist Jeff Hughell, and drummer Marco Pitruzzella make for a devastating unit. Yet, it’s Jack Owen that has really made the difference, serving as producer for ‘Killing for Revenge’.

Brutal, lyrically visceral and musically dazzling. Six Feet Under are back, and ‘Killing for Revenge’ is out on May 10th, via Metal Blade Records.

We spoke to guitarist Jack Owens about the new album, and how much work he put into it. In particular, looking at his work as producer and how interesting/exhausting that was. Alongside, we also talked about sensational headlines, online trolls, doing what makes you happy, and much more.

UK heavyweights Shrapnel will release their album ‘In Gravity’ via Candlelight Records on 31st May. 

The new album is the sound of rebirth and marks the launch of a new chapter for Shrapnel. Drawing on their ever-deepening well of experience and influence, In Gravity sees a band at the height of their song writing prowess. Whether dealing in extremity and complexity, Gojira-inspired bludgeoning heaviness, or a newly emerging sense of modern melodic maturity, Shrapnel are able to weave their sonic palette in new, genre-defying directions.

Helmed by Swedish super producer Jens Bogren (Sepultura, Opeth, Amon Amarth, Ihsahn) and featuring collaborations with Scott Kennedy (Bleed from Within) and modern shred virtuoso Bradley Hall, In Gravity sees Shrapnel breaking out of their shackles where others have failed, and staking their claim to the British metal throne.

We spoke to guitarist Chris Martin about the new album, about the evolution of the Shrapnel sound, the difficult past few years, looking forward, and so much more.
