Wetwork	September 22nd, 2005. Hi, I'm Ryan Durkin and this is my first interview with Ontario Metal. I recently had the chance to catch up with Kristen "Doc" Parker, the sultry powerful lead vocalist of the band Wetwork. I also got a few words in from the lead guitar player mastermind Bryan Mallon.
Apocalyptica	September 17th , 2005. Just earlier this year, I interviewed Eicca Toppinen, and now I've had the chance to do a followup interview with him! This one ventures more into his personal and family life, behind the scenes of Apocalyptica as well as their crazy video shenanigans!
Antimatter	August 3rd, 2005. Ryan Sequeira conducted an email interview with Mick Moss to talk about their brand new cd, Planetary Confinement, crafting the music and how Mick spent his pocket money during his teenage years. P.S. Also lists a full free album for download at their site. Read on!
Opeth	July 2nd, 2005. This was my fourth time interviewing Opeth and I have to say, I gain more respect for them each time! After much annoyance and fuss with security and incompetent venue staff, Peter finally whisked me off to their tour bus, where we had a brilliant time chatting about the wonderful world of Opeth... until the tour manager decided I'd been there long enough and kicked me out. ;)
Immolation	June 4th , 2005. Jason Deaville got a hold of Ross Dolan and had a most awesome conversation about Immolation. Read on as he captures a wealth of information about happenings with the band and you'll even get some personal insight into the man behind the music.
Kreator	April 10th , 2005. Oh man, one of the longest interviews I've ever conducted! Kevin Hughes and I (Tina) talked to Mille Petrozza about Enemy of God, his appearance on a kids show, band updates and the like... and then we launched off into a detailed investigation of black metal elitists, straightedge hardliners, Ace Ventura, Christopher Lee and Rhapsody, Oktoberfest, dancing to folk-metal and a heap more! Read and be enlightened!! :)
The Autumn Offering	April 10th , 2005. While waiting for our Kreator interview, we started chatting with these guys hanging out behind the venue. They turned out to be a band that we knew nothing about, so in the interest of promoting new acts, I did a quick impromptu interview with them backstage between Vader and Kreator's sets. In this one, The Autumn Offering reveals what it's like to be signed to Jamie Jasta's (Hatebreed) record label, touring for young bands, and they even reveal some porn secrets!!
Apocalyptica	March 16th, 2005. Eicca Toppinen was awesome enough to take off a huge chunk of time to chat with Ryan Thorstad and Tina Sequeira after Apocalyptica's soundcheck at the Opera House. Easily one of the funniest and chattiest Finns I've interviewed! :)
Amorphis	March 15th, 2005. Tina Sequeira and Ryan Thorstad hung out with Esa Holopainen (guitar) and Santeri Kallio (keyboards) before the show. Read on to hear their thoughts on their new singer, Tomi Joutsen, their upcoming album and Finnish Virgins ;)

Blood of Christ	December 21st , 2004. Jason Deaville conducted a short q&a w/ Jeff from BoC since there have been quite a few changes within the BoC camp as of late, as well they are preparing the new album. Read and be enlightened.
