I am a small town girl from Idaho with a big time obsession with music. I was the awkward, strange teenager who listened to metal while everyone else was hopping on the pop train. Nothing has changed. I am a counselor by day, a metal writer by night. Life is good.

MIKE TRAMP Interview: Mike is More Than White Lion

Neeka Rogers Mar 22, 2023 0

It was impossible to be alive in the 1980's and not know and remember White Lion. They were one of the powerhouse bands linked to the "Hair Metal" scene, yet they were very different than the rest. While the rest of the industry were…

BLACK MARROW Interview: Putting Chinks in the Armor

Neeka Rogers Mar 21, 2023 0

In Boise there is an incredible metal scene with some insanely talented musicians. The support from band to band has created a giant metal family full of, "You guys killed it up there" and, "I am a big fan of what you guys are doing", with…

OVERKILL Interview: Blitz On The Direction Of Overkill

Neeka Rogers Mar 16, 2023 0

Just when you think Overkill can't possibly get any better, they go and put out a record like Scorched.....and totally redeem themselves. Who am I kidding, Overkill needs zero redeeming, because they just keep releasing banger after banger.…

Album Review: RPWL – Crime Scene

Neeka Rogers Mar 15, 2023 0

When I first heard the beginning notes to Crime Scene, I already knew it was special. I quickly jumped into asking for an interview because I simply needed to know more. You can find my interview with Yogi here. RPWL had previously already…

SUICIDE SILENCE Interview: Mark and the Importance of Self-Care

Neeka Rogers Mar 10, 2023 0

The band Suicide Silence came into the metal scene in the early 2000's with so much force and energy, the community had to know and see everything they could about them. At this point, they were an unknown band without a label who was…

RPWL Interview: Yogi Dives into the Human Psyche

Neeka Rogers Mar 6, 2023 0

When I first received this RPWL album, I immediately became immersed and got soaked into the music and experience. It was almost as if my soul left my body and soared with each note that floated to my ears. I instinctually closed my eyes…

AUGUST BURNS RED Interview: Brent Says You Don’t Leave Fun for Fun

Neeka Rogers Mar 4, 2023 0

There are some hardworking bands out there, but I am unsure if you can find a harder-working band than August Burns Red. They are celebrating their 10th album release with Death Below on March 24th, 2023 through SharpTone Records, and their…

TRAGEDY Interview: Mo’Royce Deconstructs and Reassembles

Neeka Rogers Mar 2, 2023 0

You would not think disco and metal would complement each other comfortably, and I still believe they normally wouldn't, but Tragedy has found a method that somehow makes it work. Not only do they make it work, but they flat-out also excel…

DIE LIKE GENTLEMEN Interview: Adam Doesn’t Subscribe to One Genre

Neeka Rogers Feb 21, 2023 0

Sometimes you are lucky to find a jewel amongst the Earth's surface of music that you don't know is there. I happened upon Die Like Gentlemen while having the extra time to go through the many emails I get every day of upcoming albums. Most…

HEIDEVOLK Interview: Jacco and Rowan vs The Dungeon

Neeka Rogers Feb 19, 2023 0

It takes a very special band to have a strong desire to listen to their music over and over again while not understanding a word. Heidevolk has the talent of more than the six men who are involved in the creation. Wederkeer is a folk metal…
