13 QUESTIONS WITH&#;



Blabbermouth&#;s Borivoj Krgin

We bet when a lot of you saw "13 Questions with Borivoj Krgin" on the main page you said, "Finally, it&#;s about fucking time!!"

Well, in case you didn&#;t, Borivoj is the man behind ! Blabbermouth is like the CNN of the metal world and the other day we were visiting Blabbermouth and stealing their news like we always do and we were wondering who exactly ran that site? What&#;s their story? Who spends hours upon hours finding out news from everyone from Kiss to Mortification? So we thought we&#;d do something different and actually interview Blabbermouth since as far as we knew, nobody had ever done that before.

So this week, instead of 20 Questions, you get 13 Questions with Borivoj Krgin. And even thought it&#;s only 13 questions, it&#;s still better than our 20 Questions with Adam Albright, so be happy about that. Enjoy!

1. First of all, how did you end up doing , and has anybody else ever interviewed you before?

I got the idea to do around January/February A friend of mine, Robert Kampf, who runs Century Media Records, was staying with me in New York for a couple of days, and he had set up a meeting with Gunter Ford from World Management (MORBID ANGEL, HATE ETERNAL, GRIP INC.) near my house at the time and he invited me to come along. During the meeting, Gunter threw out the idea of creating a "heavy metal portal" &#; a metal site that would offer everything from metal news to merchandise to CDs and everything else you can think of; I think his vision was to get all the record labels to sell their product either exclusively or non-exclusively through the web site, and he wanted Robert to be involved with it somehow. Anyway, to make a long story short, I personally wasn&#;t into the concept of "the portal" and I was more drawn to the idea of developing a web site that woul

American heavy metal band

Machine Head is an American heavy metal band from Oakland, California. The band was formed in by vocalist/rhythm guitarist Robb Flynn, who remains the only original member of the band. Machine Head's aggressive musicianship made it one of the pioneering bands in the new wave of American heavy metal. Its current lineup comprises Flynn, bassist Jared MacEachern, drummer Matt Alston and guitarist Reece Scruggs. Bassist Adam Duce, guitarists Logan Mader, Ahrue Luster and Phil Demmel, and drummers Tony Costanza, Chris Kontos and Dave McClain are former members of the band; Mader and Kontos toured with the band in and as part of the 25th anniversary tour for its first album, Burn My Eyes ().

Machine Head's first four albums earned the band a growing fan base in Europe; however, the band would not have success in the United States until later releases. The band drew controversy with its fourth album, Supercharger (), which was released three weeks after the September 11 attacks; its only single, "Crashing Around You", and its music video (which featured burning buildings) was pulled from all media outlets. The band nearly disbanded in after negotiating off its label Roadrunner Records as a result of the controversy, however the band would eventually re-sign with the label.

Having experimented with elements of groove metal and nu metal in its early releases, Machine Head changed to a more traditional thrash metal sound and longer songs with its sixth album, The Blackening (), which drew critical acclaim and was chosen as Album of the Decade by Metal Hammer in ; the album's first single, "Aesthetics of Hate", also earned a Grammy Award nomination. The band achieved similar success with its next two albums, Unto the Locust () and Bloodstone & Diamonds (), before again experimenting with nu metal on its ninth album, Catharsis (). Machine Head reverted to its groove and thrash metal roots with its tent

There is more than one band with this name:

1) The most well-known and recognized Pentagram, from Arlington, Virginia, United States of America, is one of the earliest doom bands around. Having been around in one form or another since , it's safe to say that Pentagram had a big impact on Sabbath inspired Doom Metal that was to follow over the next decade. The band also strongly intertwines with the band Bedemon and is sometimes seen as one and the same. Pentagram are considered to be one of the all time classics by many older fans for understandable reasons. Their music can perhaps best be described as "proto-Doom" with a strong resemblance to the first Black Sabbath releases. The unique vocals of Bobby Leibling make sure they have a very unique sound. The first 7" was released under the name Macabre - guitarist Victor Griffin now has a new band called Place of Skulls. - the 7" EP was never officially released and was only released in copies on a test pressing.

Their pre-Pentagram projects show Sabbath-independent origins:
Shades of Darkness
Wicked Angel
Stone Bunny
Macabre

The "classic" '70s line up consisted of Liebling, Vincent McAllister (guitar), Greg Mayne (bass) and Geof O'Keefe (drums) (with occasional appearances by 2nd guitarists Randy Palmer and Marty Iverson), with Liebling and O'Keefe handling the songwriting. The band's '70s output was sparse (only a few 7" EPs) but now considered by many fans to be legendary and Liebling, who at the time handled the bulk of the songwriting, had a large number of songs that went unrecorded or released at the time. This line up lasted until , when tensions between Liebling and the rest of the band over Bobby's drug use and the band's inablility to secure a record deal escalated to the point that Bobby was ousted. Bobby owned the name, though, and resurrected it in with new members for what is now called "The High Voltage-era"

An artist by the name of Chuck Schuldiner was well known for being the guitarist/vocalist/songwriter and founder of a death metal band, simply named Death. He was also known as one of the original pioneers of death metal, who influenced, defined, and defied the sound of the genre. In , when he formed his first band named Mantas, the number of death metal bands that were signed on a record label could easily be counted on one hand. After he changed the name of his band to Death and released their first album, &#;Scream Bloody Gore&#;, the followers of this new genre spread like wildfire, due to his strong influence. By the time his fourth album, &#;Human&#;, was released, he had already defined the sound of death metal with his guttural vocals, melodic tunes, fast riffs, and streaming solos. With the release of each album afterwards, he proceeded to defy the sound of death metal by making music with a style that was very different from any other music in the genre.

Charles Michael Schuldiner was born of Jane and Malcolm, on May 13th in Long Island, New York. He had two siblings, Frank and Bethann. In , when Schuldiner was one year old, his family moved to Florida.

When Schuldiner was nine years old, his sixteen-year-old brother, Frank, died in a car accident on a trip back home from his uncle who lived out of state. Chuck was very close to his brother before he died, so to help him with his grief, his parents bought him a guitar to occupy his mind. His parents also decided that guitar lessons would be good for him, too. However, he did not take them for too long before he realized that he wanted to be self-taught. &#;I took two lessons and he (guitar instructor) showed me "Mary Had A Little Lamb" and I said screw it and went on my own.&#; [Chuck Schuldiner, &#;Guitar Corner&#;]

Schuldiner&#;s earliest and main musical influence was the band Kiss. When he was thirteen years old his mother took him to see Kiss. &#;He heard Kiss play and they w
