POWER PLAY Issue 229 April 2020: NIGHTWISH COVER FEATURE

We sit down with Floor Jansen and Troy Donockley to get the lowdown on the creation of the latest masterpiece from operatic symphonic metal masters Nightwish, a double album that features a set of original new songs on one disc and an entire symphony on the other. Guitar whizz Joe Satriani tells us about his emotional new album ‘Shapeshifting’, we talk to Gotthard’s Nic Maeder about the band’s latest offering, the best since he joined the band, and Static X tell us about their long overdue return. This month we also interview Biff Byford about his first ever solo album, plus Harem Scarem, Dynazty, Lucifer, Wolfheart, Novena, Phonomik, Nightblade, Pure Reason Revolution, Lucifer Star Machine, Dirty Sound Magnet, and we talk to the promoters of Masters Of Rock and Call Of The Wild festivals to see what is in store for fans at these great events in 2020.
