INTERVIEW
WITH SILENT CIVILIAN & SPINESHANK VOCALIST/GUITARIST
JONNY SANTOS
Posted
June 29, 2010 |
|
During the past four and a half years that
Live-Metal.net has been online, we've had
several bands come through that we believe
have defined our website. Some of those
include FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH,
WITHIN TEMPTATION, ALL
THAT REMAINS, EPICA,
GORGOROTH and others.
We've latched onto several of these
particular bands either through series of
interviews, shows, and of course, their
music. Well, one of the first of these bands
was SILENT CIVILIAN. They're
currently going stronger than ever, with
an amazing new album, Ghost Stories,
in stores and, for the first time, an apparently
stable lineup.
Before a recent show in Springfield, VA.,
LiveMetal.net's Greg Maki sat down with
SILENT CIVILIAN/SPINESHANK
vocalist Jonny Santos.
Check out our latest in a long series of
interviews with SILENT CIVILIAN
spanning the course of our existence ...

ROCK
ON THE RANGE 2010 RECAP: CONCERT REPORT
Posted June 22,
2010 |
| I
have yet to figure out why this two-day rock
extravaganza is called Rock on the Range or
how one of the United States’ biggest
annual events in rock music ended up at Crew
Stadium, the home of a professional soccer
team, in Columbus, Ohio. But with its fourth
year now in the books, Rock on the Range is
firmly established THE place for hard rock
fans to assemble in late May. Two days, three
stages, 38 bands, 30,000-plus people (each
day) to take it all in—it all added
up to one unforgettable weekend ... Read

SILENT
CIVILIAN
'Ghost Stories'
Mediaskare |
| A
lot can happen in four years. Just ask Jonny
Santos, vocalist and guitarist of
SILENT CIVILIAN. Since the
2006 release of his band’s debut album,
Rebirth of the Temple, he’s
gone through about a dozen bandmates, and
rejoined, toured and started to a record a
new album with SPINESHANK,
the band he left in 2004. So it’s almost
miraculous that he made it to Ghost Stories,
SILENT CIVILIAN’s second
album ... Read

WHITECHAPEL
'A New Era of Corruption'
Metal Blade |
| Sharing
stages with SLAYER, BEHEMOTH,
CANNIBAL CORPSE and THE
BLACK DAHLIA MURDER clearly has been
beneficial to the extreme deathcore outfit
WHITECHAPEL. A New Era
of Corruption, the band’s third
album, is a refined, futuristic, murderous
venture with an edge as sharp as freshly cut
steel. It’s the sound of a merciless
band of killers, delivering an all-out assault
on the senses and it's tiers above 2008’s
This Is Exile ... Read

EXODUS
'Exhibit B: The Human Condition'
Nuclear Blast |
| Exhibit
B: The Human Condition is everything
you’d expect from one of the classic
thrash metal bands of all time, except with
a newfound level of confidence and power that’s
been missing from the band for the last few
years. From start to finish, it may be their
most complete and heaviest recording to date

DEFTONES
'Diamond Eyes'
Warner
Bros./Reprise |
| The
last decade was a crazy one for the DEFTONES.
After the commercial breakthrough of 2000’s
White Pony, the band nearly broke
up during the recording of 2003’s self-titled
album and then took three more years to release
the uneven Saturday Night Wrist.
The band planned a quick follow-up called
Eros, but the recording was scrapped
after a car accident left bassist Chi
Cheng in a coma. Combine that with
frontman Chino Moreno’s
battles with substance abuse and work on side
project TEAM SLEEP, and the
band’s future seemed up in the air ...

JUDAS
PRIEST
'British Steel - 30 Anniversary Edition'
Sony |
| Three
decades later, what more can be said about
JUDAS PRIEST’s landmark
album? It is one of the true classics that
quite simply changed the game for metal, infiltrating
the mainstream and establishing Priest as
international superstars. With nine songs
running 36 minutes, it is a powerful, concise
musical statement. It might seem simple now,
but metal as it is today wasn’t around
in 1980 ... Read

SEVENDUST
Jaxx
Springfield, Va. |
| Starting
with the blistering, galloping metal of “Splinter,”
the opener from the new album, SEVENDUST
tore through a 95-minute set, enthralling
a packed house. There is no barricade in front
of the Jaxx stage, nothing between the band
and its rabid fans but a small railing. SEVENDUST
always has had a close relationship with its
audience, its shows more like family gatherings
than concerts, and the venue’s setup
made that connection even more intimate and
intense ... Read
