SHOCK and AWE
By Simon Reynolds
Published by Dey St books/HarperCollins



     Mr Reynolds takes us through the magical glam rock period of the 70’s and delivers a no holds barred exquisite contemplation and guidebook to the stars that shaped the genre. Those same stars and flamboyant personalites are examined to the fullest within his SHOCK and AWE book. For this reader, the book weaves a clearer insight into the lives and inner workings of people like, Marc Bolan, David Bowie, And Alice Cooper, among others. You are transported to this incredibly flashy and prolific time period, brief as it was, and leave with a thorough understanding of what made these artists tick. Excellent job Mr. Reynolds. Fans of the genre of 70’s Glam rock should have this book on their coffee table as a reference guide to a golden, glittery age gone by.

LOVEBITES interview for CRY OF THE WOLF MAGAZINE Answered by miho, bass guitar player 1) Take us through the writing process I always write riffs first and make a basic demo, then start adding arrangement to complete a song. 2) Does everyone contribute Our guitarlist mi-ya and myself, along with another songwriter outside of the band usually write music/melody. Each of us brings own music to the table and each band member arrange their own part to complete the music. As for the lyrics, asami and myself write all of our songs. But each band member is a great song-writer, we are going to play other member’s songs as well in the near future. 3) What are the rehearsals like. Do you have set jam times When we start rehearsing for a tour/show, we first decide how much time we want to/can put into each song and concentrate on bettering the performance one by one. And we play from top to the bottom of our set list for a several times. 4) What makes the perf...

Arch / Matheos reveals details for new album, 'Winter Ethereal'; launches video for first single, "Straight and Narrow" In progressive metal circles, the names of guitarist Jim Matheos and vocalist John Arch are spoken with due reverence. With the former having been a driving force in Fates Warning for thirty-five years, and the latter the original front-man of that band, they also have a single seminal work under the Arch / Matheos banner, 2011's Sympathetic Resonance . In 2019, they have reunited to follow that record up with Winter Ethereal , a more stylistically varied and perhaps deeper collection that explores a lot of sonic territory over the course of nine immer...
