Elsewhere in the mag, Within Temptation’s Sharon den Adel visits Ukraine to make a music video, and reports back on the remarkable resilience she witnessed.

Halestorm’s Lzzy gives us her life lessons, featuring body bags and Devil worship, while Ministry legend Al Jourgensen talks experimental drugs, inventing industrial metal and upsetting Steven Spielberg. We head to Estonia to see the first performance from Bright & Black, the classical metal supergroup with contributions from Watain, Opeth, Meshuggah and more, and go AAA with breakout hardcore superstars Knocked Loose. Sebastian Bach speaks his mind on a Skid Row reunion and rock star beefs, and While She Sleeps remember the making of the anthemic Silence Speaks. ​​​​​​​Ice Nine Kills' Spencer Charnas chats about cosplay and the idea of a Silver Scream 3, and we meet Japanese genre-mashing quartet Paledusk.
