THE EYES OF A TRAITOR, a technical metal band from Hertfordshire, UK, has had a good start to the year to say the least. Having received overwhelming feedback on their debut album before it even hit the stores and just having finished an extensive UK tour with GOJIRA there is no doubt that these boys are not just another hype, but a band to keep an eye out for in future.
The five piece band which signed to Thirty Days Of Nights Records, previous label of bands such as GALLOWS and BRING ME THE HORIZON when they were only 16 years old, released their debut album “A Clear Perception” with Listenable Records in March this year.
CRITICAL MASS has spoken to STEVE WITHWORTH, 18 years old and lead guitarist of a band frustrated with being looked over because of their young age.

We got in touch with Fernando Ribeiro, vocalist of Portugese veterans MOONSPELL to receive a quick update on the new DVD and more. Hang on!
You have had the same members since "Irreligious". The members have been you, Ricardo, Mike and Pedro. Twelve years is a long time, what is your secret for staying together as a band?
– No secret other than a true friendship and a like mindness to get us through the good and the bad times. We all share a common ground and though we have differences we can work them out so they wont affect our creativity and what we all respect in the band and in the fans and our partners.

DESTRUCTION was one of the very first thrash outfits from Germany. They formed in 1983, and released their debut “Sentence of Death” in 1984. Since then, they have released many albums, toured the world, split up and reformed again. Now, DESTRUCTION are on the road, celebrating 25 years of blistering thrash metal. I met Schmier, original vocalist and bassplayer when DESTRUCTION was in my home town Gothenburg in early December 2008. It turned out to be a long and interesting chat. Hang on!
DESTRUCTION is celebrating a 25-year anniversary this year with the new "D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N." album and a world tour. How does it feel, sitting here today, twenty five years after forming the band?
– We never thought we would go so far anyway. Every show we play today is like a gift for us. You know, people were laughing at us in the beginning, We were kids from the countryside who played lots of noise. Now, 25 years later, many of those people who laughed back then had to shut up, so it's a cool thing. Every show we play is a gift, and especially when we play outside of Germany. Our market is not Germany – our market is the world, we have a worldwide fan base. We will never be the biggest band in the world but we have a solid fan base, and it's great, after all those years. We appreciate every show we play. We're gonna be on the road hopefully until next summer, with small breaks in between, but still, it's gonna be a long tour. We'll see how the world economy goes until then, because already, we can feel that people are having problems with money and the economy is dropping. In Germany, we expect a big loss for 2009. Hopefully we can play all the shows. A lot of tours are going bad right now because the lack of money.

Luckily frontman and singer Mark "Barney" Greenway was kind enough to have a chat with me over the phone to discuss the new album, the state of the world and several things in between.
HAEMORRHAGE - Spanish gods of goregrind

Few bands have been pounding out high quality goregrind for as long as Spains goriest quintette HAEMORRHAGE has. Since the bands inception in 1990 they've belted out six full-length albums, a slew of EPs and plenty of other releases. It's been over two years since the last full-length offering, the magnificent "Apology For Pathology", so I thought it was high time to drop guitarist and main gorehound Luis "Luisma" Quiroga an e-mail and see what's new in the morgue.
Thanks for your words and support. You'll always be welcome to our morgue.
