  • Challenging The Gods With RYAN KIRBY From FIT FOR A KING

    Challenging The Gods With RYAN KIRBY From FIT FOR A KING
    Jul 20 2025
    Interview by Kris Peters
    American metalcore outfit Fit For A King have never backed away from allowing their music the time and space it needs to breathe.
    Since unleashing their debut album Descendants in 2011, the band have experimented with a variety of sounds and genres, often overlapping them with each other and harnessing the resulting unpredictability into an ever-evolving sonic palette of metalcore unpredictability, alternative melody, and deathcore brutality laced with electronic alchemy.
    Fourteen years after embracing their destiny, Fit For A King stand on the cusp of unveiling their eighth album Lonely God, boasting all of the sonic hallmarks Fit For A King fans have come to know and love — gnarly riffs, guttural growls, deep grooves, and a slightly industrial crunch that takes things to the next level, every single time - with some expected moderations.
    Frontman Ryan Kirby joined HEAVY to go into greater detail.
    "I feel good," he enthused when asked about the new album. "I'm always eager to get the new record out once we start rolling it out."
    We ask what fans can expect from the album musically.
    "This time around, we just wanted to not have any agendas," he replied. "We just wanted to write music that we enjoy writing, and I think it turned out that way. I think because of that, the record is my personal favourite that we've ever written."
    In the full interview, Ryan dives deeper into Lonely God, including the singles released and how they represent the album as a whole. He mentions the difficulty in selecting songs to release because of the eclectic nature of their music, insisting fans don't fall into the trap of assuming the rest of the album is just a rehash of the songs released from it.
    He talked about the album opener Begin The Sacrifice and why it was chosen as the first song, how Lonely God differs to 2022's The Hell We Create, the performance of The Plot In You vocalist Landon Tewers on Technium and the close relationship the two bands have, their upcoming Australian tour together, their version of genre mashing and how it comes together in the creative process, playing all ages shows and more.

  • The Knockout Blow With ZOLTAN BATHORY From FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH

    The Knockout Blow With ZOLTAN BATHORY From FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH
    Jul 18 2025
    Interview by Angela Croudace
    The metal landscape changed forever in 2005 when a hard rock/metal outfit called Five Finger Death Punch took their first tentative steps in music from Las Vegas. A town normally more known for its casinos and nightlife, Las Vegas was soon forced to share its traditional draw cards with an unrelenting and destructive sonic force that refused to watch the world pass them by, instead deciding to make their presence felt by any means necessary.
    Led by the only two surviving original members - vocalist Ivan Moody and rhythm guitarist Zoltan Bathory - Five Finger Death Punch quickly rose to prominence, with their 2007 debut album The Way Of The Fist selling over 500,00 copies before the 2009 follow-up War Is the Answer further increased their popularity, selling over 1,000,000 copies and being certified Platinum by the RIAA. The bands next five albums - American Capitalist, The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1 (2013), The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 2 (2013), Got Your Six (2015), plus And Justice for None (2018) have all been certified Platinum or Gold, elevating Five Finger Death Punch into the upper echelon of hard rock/metal bands.
    To celebrate their plethora of achievements over the last two decades, which include victories in esteemed awards such as Revolver Golden Gods and Metal Hammer Golden Gods, Five Finger Death Punch are releasing Best Of – Volume 1, a collection of re-recorded versions of their most iconic chart-topping songs. The idea of a remix or remaster wasn't enough, so the band created a completely re-recorded 2025 edition to honour the songs and the fans who have made them matter by being with Five Finger Death Punch every step of the way.
    HEAVY had the pleasure of spending time with Zoltan Bathory to get a glimpse inside the world of Five Finger Death Punch and 20 years at the top of their game. We ask him to look back at the early days and the point where he felt Five Finger Death Punch were destined for success.
    "When you say it's going to last… we didn't know," he laughed. "We did have a moment, however, where we kind of knew that we had something. It was in the very beginning when we went to the studio to record our first vocal takes. The first record was done in my living room, the whole thing (laughs), so young bands out there, you can do it! We did it in my house, then went to the studio and recorded the first couple of songs, then we went back to my house, and we had a Beavis & Butthead moment. Me and Ivan were jamming and thrashing around in my living room, kicking over couches, screaming 'this is it, it's gonna happen'. So we had that early on. As for how long it's gonna last… I mean, even now I look back and go 'oh my God, 20 years'. It's crazy (laughs)."
    In the full interview, Zoltan talks more about the history of Five Finger Death Punch, their success, the new best of album and re-recording old material, their loyal fan base, plus plenty more.

  • Exposing The Core With JAKE DAVIES From OF LIMBO

    Exposing The Core With JAKE DAVIES From OF LIMBO
    Jul 17 2025
    Interview by Kris Peters
    After making their name on the back of high-energy, hard-hitting music, Long Beach, California rockers Of Limbo are pulling the reins somewhat on their upcoming release, Unplugged, which you can check out here: https://linktr.ee/Oflimbo
    Rather than continue their relentless barrage of sonic intensity, Of Limbo have decided to strip things back to their bare minimum, assembling a collection of original tracks and select covers that showcase the lighter sides to their musical psyche and offer fans a more vulnerable and softer underbelly.
    It is an uncommon move from a band not known for their acoustic playing, but one which proves how confident Of Limbo are, not just in themselves, but also in their music.
    With the album almost upon us - released July 18 - HEAVY caught up with vocalist/rhythm guitarist Jake Davies to dive deeper.
    "We grew up just absolutely adoring the MTV Unplugged era, especially the Alice in Chains stuff," he replied when we asked what was behind the decision to make an acoustic album. "I must have listened to that live album thousands of times in my life, so we've always really liked it. And there was a stint in time when the electric version of our band wasn't able to perform. Our drummer was away, stuff like that. So we just started jamming with our friend Jason (Klein, bass) who used to be famous for being in the Butcher Babies years ago. I started jamming with Jason, just doing sort of acoustic stuff, and we really got a taste for it because as much fun as the live electric rock and roll party stuff is that we do, there's a real romance to playing the acoustic stuff."
    In the full interview, Jake focused on the upcoming release of Of Limbo's Unplugged album, scheduled for July 18, outlining their strategy of prioritising physical sales over streaming to foster a deeper connection with their audience. The album will feature six original songs and three covers, with the decision to adopt an acoustic style inspired by the MTV Unplugged era.
    We spoke further about doing an acoustic album and the potential risks involved, as well as running through each of the three cover songs and why they were chosen. Jake talked about his time in Australia and desire to return with the band, as well as some upcoming Of Limbo shows in America and more.
