The Divine Madness is a Goth Metal band in California that adds a Pink Floyd-ish feel to their music. I had the honor of interviewing their vocalist, Victoria Mazze (via e-mail like all my interviews). And before certain female readers of my blog make their remarks (you know who you are): I did behave myself! Honest! (Well, mostly...)The Divine Madness has an "Alice in Wonderland" thing going on.

Earl Root and John Prassas of Aesma Daeva took time to do an interview, where we discuss the band and its future, the Podsafe Music Network, plus the pros and cons of being an Indie.What's the concept for Dawn of the New Athens and how did you come up with it?Earl Root: I thought of the idea because at the time when we actually got to record the album...we were basically a brand new band.....with

In addition to the interview that will get posted tomorrow (of course I'm making you wait! My Evil Twin is in ascendence! MWAHAHAHA!), here's a little bio the band sent me to share with all of you:Aesma Daeva formed out of the early collaboration of N Copernicus (production) and John Prassas (guitars, composition) in LaCrosse Wisconsin circa 1988. Their original projects saw them working together

The first song opens with a voice as beautiful as a Tolkien Elf, then heavy guitar riffs follow that makes you want to headbang out in an open glade, with a mood and atmosphere that makes you feel like you're living in Ancient Greece. And the first song on Aesma Daeva's Dawn of the New Athens, "Tisza's Child," is only the beginning. There are only nine songs, but with each one running an average

I first encountered Melinda S. Reynolds's artwork at The Sword Review and quickly became a fan. Among her other talents is writing and being a hotty redhead. Her artwork, "Black Sheep Dragon" is currently on the cover of SR's 25th Issue.An artist and a writer. How did so much talent end up in one package? lol, don't know; just luck, I guess. There were no art classes offered when I went to school

An ancient manuscript is found that hints at a time traveler from the future going back in time to save the great philosopher, Socrates, from his death at the hands of the democratic Athenian government. When Thomas O'Leary shows his student, Sierra Waters, the manuscript, she finds herself in a time-traveling adventure in search of Socrates's mysterious savior - who could be anyone from any time

Combining Metal and Classical with Swing, the Diablo Swing Orchestra is nothing like you've ever heard before. So it was pretty cool to be able to interview their guitarist and vocalist, Daniel Hakansson.How did you come up with the name Diablo Swing Orchestra? The name is just a version of the band our ancestors played in. They were called “the devil’s orchestra” and the name Diablo Swing

We discuss the art and business end of writing as well as his books and upcoming projects.What are The Pines and The Shore about?Tell me you haven't heard about the Jersey Devil.

In the very near future the U.S.A. has ceased to become the nation intended by the Founding Fathers. The People have become complacent, decadent, and lazy. The Presidential Candidacy has become little more than a popularity contest of the worst kind, and the military is less effective than it had been since before Pearl Harbor. And that's just a drop in the bucket.So some of the most powerful men

Author Spider Robinson was picked to complete a story that Heinlein shelved decades ago. And after reading it, I have to ask, did anyone perhaps think that maybe he shelved it for a reason?Don't get me wrong. For a character-driven story, it's well written; the characters in it are an intriguing bunch with all their foibles, and Robinson certainly shows his strength in that regard. But for a "

This little Fantasy tale involves historical characters that avid Fantasy readers will recognize quite early. WWI is being fought, and certain Oxford fellows find themselves caught up on a magical quest of epic proportions when the Imaginarium Geographica is passed on to an undergraduate by a deceased professor.

The new CD from Evanescence, titled The Open Door is more personal in nature than the songs on their debut CD, Fallen, but maintains the same dark, haunting quality that Evanescence is known for. "Lithium" is about struggling with deep depression and contains the same emotional power that "Tourniquet" did on their debut CD. Then there is the song that's clearly about obsession, titled (ironically

I'm not sure how I came up with it at that point, but it became clear that thestories were going to be pretty funny on one level, and if I really wanted to push that aspect of it, Kitty was the perfect name. It was so silly I just had to do it.Kitty Norville is a very

A werewolf named Kitty with her own radio talk show? Just the title alone was enough to know this would be a story full of humor. But to my delight, there was much more than just humor in it. Action, intrigue, horror, drama, mystery--even kinky armpit-sniffing.Kitty Norville is a DJ who also happens to be a werewolf.

First, there's the stories themselves: Fast-paced space opera that focuses on characters, action,

This DVD provides 2 studio sessions: one that involves the whole band with a small string symphony and a choir, and an "unplugged" acoustic session. In addition, there is also a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the sessions. In the Extras features you will find Epica's first two music videos, "The Phantom Agony" and "Feint", along with a making-of featurette for each. There are also other

How did Epica get started? We started out in April 2002 after Mark was asked to leave his former band, After Forever. We already wrote some music together once in a while so we went searching for other musicians right away which took us until October. In November we recorded our first demo, in December we did our first gig, and in January we recorded our debut album which was released several

Epica's Consign to Oblivion is possibly one of the best CDs I've ever listened to. No, forget "possibly", it is. Let's face it, rarely these days can you find a CD that never gets old even after the 50th time playing it. There is a diversity of sound and style on this CD that you won't find on any others. A combination of pop, classical, and metal which shouldn't work yet does. If you're into

August is going to be a great month here at SpecMusicMuse. Coming in the next few weeks will be a CD review of Epica's Consign to Oblivion, a review of Epica's DVD, We Will Take You With Us, plus interviews with Epica guitarist Ad Sluijter, and Six With Flinteye author Sean T. M. Stiennon. And possibly, a "better late than never" Eclypsis interview.

I first encountered E. Sedia's work while reviewing Aeon Speculative Fiction #3, and I've been a fan of her writing ever since. In addition to being a great writer, she is also a fellow reviewer for Tangent Online. I am honored to give you the following interview:*How does it feel to have a first published novel?It feels good; of course, publishing a novel creates its own host of concerns - sales

According to Crow is one of those rare novels that will stay with you long after you finish reading. Josiah is a boy born to a Sium mother, Ruth, and a Meran father. His father, the general Sephar, was killed by his mother to protect her village in a classical Book of Judith manner. When a Meran named Caleb arrives, he discovers that he and Josiah are related and invites him to visit the rest of

It seems the interview might be a little late...or not at all. I blame myself for giving them such a short deadline. But I promise to have it up as soon as I get it.On the bright side, however, both the According to Crow review and the interview with its author, E. Sedia, are ready and will be posted on their scheduled dates.

Lacuna Coil's newest CD, Karmacode, is their best yet. Their symphonic metal sound has reached a point of maturity where, if they continue to let it grow, they will likely be a band remembered for generations. As always, the voices of Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro compliment each other. Karmacode is infused with more spirituality than their prior releases and has a heavier metal sound than

I had planned to start off with a different rant until this came to my attention. Many of you have seen, or at least heard of, The Last Unicorn animated movie. And many of you may also know that the movie was based off Peter S. Beagle’s novel of the same name. It has recently been redistributed on DVD and sold well without any advertising by Granada Media.But what you may not know is that Peter S

Two days away before the official launch of SpecMusicMuse, so I'm going to give the full list of what will appear in July. But first, a little about why I'm starting this project (other than hope of financial gain, of course). A few weeks ago I received an email from a man who, being of elderly age, asked me for information regarding a writer's group. And by doing so, he blessed me with the

Welcome to SpecMusicMuse, a blog about inspiration.Music and fiction have always been co-inspirational. A song inspires a story that inspires more songs that inspire more stories, and so on. So now that you know what the Music and Muse part of the title is for, on to the Spec: better known as Speculative Fiction.Music inspired by Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror, and vice versa.My goal is to
