Off the Record Interviews was born from a specific type of boredom that stemmed from album-release interviews and an interview with Marko Hietala that fell through the cracks on its way to publishing at Tuonela Magazine. I missed the old days of talking to the artists about themselves! I wanted to get off of the album-release line of questioning, which is heavily oversaturated by music medias, and into the lessons and personal growth they’ve experienced throughout their musical journeys. This inspired the name for the series, Off the Record!
Thanks for checking it out, and please do the usual subs and shares if you want to see more of these in the future!
