Heavy Empire: Voidfolk
http://heavyempire.blogspot.com/2013/03/voidfolk.html
Thursday, March 21, 2013. Voidfolk are one of my favourite Toronto bands. They're not playing CMW, but they will play in your living room if you ask them. They are dark, synth-heavy, fuzzy and sometimes heavy. I shot them playing at Lee's Palace back in early March. Still learning how to use a DSLR in video mode.excuse the shakes. I'm in the process of building a homemade Steadicam. Voidfolk's debut LP, " Dwell. Is out now on Toronto's infamous label, Inyrdisk. In stores at June Records.

Heavy Empire: April 2009
http://heavyempire.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2009. James' Album #8: Daydream Nation. 8 Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation. Like many people who were three years old when Sonic Youth released Daydream Nation. In the fall of 1988, I missed it when it was first released. To be honest, the first album of theirs I ever got into was Goo. And, for the longest time, Dirty. Have a copy of it. But, in reality, I only played it now and then and usually not for too long before swapping it out for something friendlier. It might have taken me a lon...

Sunday, November 11, 2012. LITURGY Interview, (from the past). In February of 2011, I was fortunate enough to interview Hunter Hunt-Hendrix of Liturgy about.a lot of things. In the next few months, Hendrix would become the poster-boy for outcasts among outcasts when his essay titled, Transcendental Black Metal - A Vision of Apocalyptic Humanism. Sparked the dumbest disagreement. Between some band's perception of what Black Metal should be. Interview with Hunter Hunt-Hendrix of Liturgy, February 2011.

Heavy Empire: September 2010
http://heavyempire.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Four Touchdowns, One Game. I can get behind the recent trend of past-their-prime bands dedicating a tour around a "classic" album they have written. In years past I have seen acts like Primus re-commit to performing Sailing the Seas of Cheese in it's entirety, which was extremely entertaining despite it being my favourite album. And then there's the business side. The money side. Well you're gonna LOVE this." Nostalgia is, and forever on will be up for sale.

Heavy Empire: METZ INTERVIEW (from the past)
http://heavyempire.blogspot.com/2012/11/from-past-metz-interview-july-2010.html
Sunday, November 11, 2012. METZ INTERVIEW (from the past). METZ, Some Time, AD. In July of 2010, right before the release of their third 7-inch, I asked METZ some questions. They weren`t very good questions, but the band took them super seriously, and I thank them for that. The interview got published in a zine that I can`t quite remember the name of. Now, about a month after the release of their self-titled gem on Sub Pop, I`m making this interview available online for anyone interested in reading it.
