_{The name Mat Sinner appears quite regularly when I’m checking out new albums. The German bass player is probably best known as a member of Sinner, Primal Fear and Voodoo Circle but is involved in many other projects as well, including the Rock Meets Classic tour. I spoke to Mat via Skype on 21st January to talk about the new Primal Fear album “Rulebreaker” which was released via Frontiers on 29th January. We also talked about other projects that he had worked on recently, about the upcoming Rock Meets Classic tour and more.}

_{The interview was part of the Friday NI Rocks Show broadcast on Friday 29th January, which also included an interview with guitarist Craig Goldy.

_{Craig Goldy will be best known to most people as the guitarist in Giuffria and Dio. Most recently he has been part of Dio Disciples and the band Resurrection Kings who released their self titled debut album through Frontiers on 29th January. I chatted to Craig at his home in California via Skype on 21st January and talked about the new album, Dio Disciples, another of his bands called Endangered Species, his memories of Lemmy, being part of Budgie and more! We recorded this just a few days before the sad news about the death of his former Dio colleague Jimmy Bain.}

_{Swedish band MarysCreek have been around for over ten years but only release their second album, entitled “Infinity”, through Escape Music on 22nd January. This follows a debut album (“Some Kind of Hate”) in 2007 and a period of little activity before the release of the EP “Incubic Twin” in 2014. I’d played a couple of tracks from the latter on the NI Rocks Shows on Rock Radio NI. The opening track of the new album, entitled “Hypnotized” featured on the NI Rocks A-Z Show in December whilst “Buried Deep Within” is included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 22nd January.}
