MetalWalk: Interview With Waterlines

We took Waterlines’ Si Douglas, Mike Hawkings and Tom Wilson on a MetalWalk, but not vocalist Benji Mars because he was resting from a back injury. We considered robotic options for Benji’s spine, and chatted about how they came up with their human daisy chain move, the crossover between rave and Metal music, and how to get away with being cheeky.

MetalWalk: Interview With Warbringer

We took Warbringer’s John Kevill for a MetalWalk and his Thrashing energy meant we alternated between wild gesticulations whilst standing still and stomping around moshing. We chatted about his sword, identifying as an angry peasant, and how the Warbringer set is nothing but the band playing from the moment the intro finishes – a force of raw destruction.

MetalWalk: Interview With Famyne

We took all of Famyne for a MetalWalk. We started on the Famyne runway, found out who from the band should be the next James Bond and who is most likely to get run over, saw them try hard not to say something “rude” when asked what’s the best activity for listening to Famyne, and finally finished by the bar owing two out of five of the band a cider. (Never make bets when it’s one vs. five).
