CHILDREN OF BODOM Bassist Talks About New Album
Australia's PyroMusic.net conducted an interview with CHILDREN OF BODOM bassist Henkka Blacksmith earlier today (Sept. 12). A few excerpts from the chat follow:
PyroMusic.net: How to you feel it compares to more recent albums?
Henkka Blacksmith: "Well, personally, I think we have always done new albums in a different way but this time it was surprising. When we started to do the songs and when the songs were done I was really satisfied with them. I was like, 'Yeah, this is cool stuff.' Even though I found the songs really 'normal' and 'traditional' for CHILDREN OF BODOM songs, but then when I heard the album when it was completely done with vocals, it was really surprising how powerful and how different it sounded compared to previous albums. I'm still listening to the album a lot and I'm really satisfied with it."

Former PARADISE LOST Drummer Joins TEN
According to MelodicRock.com, former PARADISE LOST drummer Lee Morris has joined the British AOR group TEN. Lee's first outing with the band will be the Fleetwood weekend on October 15-16, according to TEN mastermind Gary Hughes.
Morris left PARADISE LOST in early 2004 prior to the recording of the band's self-titled album due to "personal and musical differences." In a statement issued shortly after his departure, Morris said, "I have never lost my passion for music and drumming and this new-found freedom has really filled me with a determination and drive to want to succeed again."
PARADISE LOST are currently utilizing the services of drummer Jeff Singer, who has previously worked with BLAZE and KILL II THIS.

PAUL DI'ANNO - "BRUCE DICKINSON Sounds Like A Fucking Fairy When He's Trying To Fill My Shoes"
RockSomething.com recently sat down with ex-IRON MAIDEN frontman Paul Di'Anno to discuss the vocalist's current activities and, naturally, his former band. The following is a brief excerpt:
RockSomething: What do you think about Maiden lots of your songs again with Bruce singing on them? On the Early Days DVD you say that Bruce is the better singer?
Di'Anno: "You must remember that interviews and filming usually end up highly edited, and I actually said (on various occasions) that Bruce is a better singer for Maiden as they became in their later years. I think Bruce's high operatic and theatrical type voice is better suited to Maiden's later material, but I honestly think he sounds like a fucking fairy when he is trying to fill my shoes on songs from the first two albums. My voice is aggressive and violent (kind of like me in a way) and it sounds like someone dragged me up from a low class background and I was used to having a regular fucking good kicking (in the bollocks) every now and then.
On the other hand, Bruce's voice is sung in The Queen's English. Very politely and with all the letters pronounced properly, and you can imagine him practising his sword fencing whilst practising his vocal exercises. He sound like a very nice public school boy (which he was) who used to sing in the local church choir after school and was an instant hit with all the old grannies. Meanwhile, I was getting my dick sucked by all the fanny in the park being the fucking animal that I have always been. Bruce is silver but I am gold, as simple as that really."
RockSomething: …did you ever listen to the Blaze era Maiden?
Di'Anno: "I try to not listen to shit."
RockSomething: Back to that DVD – what was it like to meet the old band mates again? Do you still get on with them all?
Di'Anno: "I purposely did not film my parts around anyone else, as I always think it is good to remember good things as they were. Also I did not want to bump in to a few old distant faces, quite frankly."
