Album Review: Enter Shikari – The Mindsweep

When I applied for a writing gig at Strife Magazine, its founder Glenn asked me to review any album so he can check my writing skills. I picked Enter Shikari's latest album The Mindsweep because, you know, favourite band, favourite album, bla, bla. ...

Interview with Keith Murray from We Are Scientists

Here's another new interview I did with Keith Murray from We Are Scientists for Strife Magazine. Their new album "Helter Seltzer" is pretty amazing. Actually I only listened to it to prepare for this interview (I'm currently in a hard rock mood), but then couldn't really stop listening to it. Pick it up if you haven't yet! Here's an excerpt of the interview: ...

New Interview with Rou Reynolds from Enter Shikari

  Interview with Rou Reynolds from Enter Shikari Strife MagazineThis is my first interview on Strife Magazine which was pretty special for me, because it was another one with the lead singer of my favourite band Enter Shikari, Rou Reynolds (you can read my first interview with him here). On one hand, that made writing the interview questions very easy because I know the band by heart, but on the other hand I was pressuring myself quite a bit. My absolute nightmare is writing an interview with questions like "Soo, your band name sounds so wicked. What does it mean?" (*YAWN*) or any other question the band is asked numerous times throughout their career. Also, in case you don't know Enter Shikari, they are super smart and voice their opinions on social-political issues quite often. So an interview with them can be one of the best in your writing "career"! I ended up spending over a week just watching every interview with them on YouTube, before I felt confident enough to write up a bunch of questions and send them to their publicist. I'm quite satisfied with the result, but judge yourself. You can read the full thing below. ...

From Under The Dome to The Strain: How Adaptions Are Taking Over TV

In times when the Vampire Romance was taking over young adult female's hearts, the release of The Strain in 2009 started a refreshing new trend in the genre: Vampire novels going Horror again with new modern characteristics. Guillermo del Toro, director of Pacific Rim and Pan's Labyrinth, and Chuck Hogan created a masterpiece with their debut trilogy. Vampirism as a disease which transforms their hosts into brutal monsters taking over the world - a great mix of Vampire fiction with a post-apocalyptic backdrop. Only a year after, in 2010, Justin Cronin released his first Vampire novel The Passage - a tome that spans over several eras after a similar post-apocalyptic invasion of the undead and also the first novel of a trilogy. Now, in 2014, Cronin's final installment of The Passage Trilogy has yet to be released, but The Strain has already taken over another medium: the TV Screen. ...

Movie Review: Maleficent

When I went to see Maleficent I expected a simple and slightly boring Disney movie, but what I got was so much more! The re-imagining of Disney's Sleeping Beauty tells the classical tale from a different point of view: it is the tale of the antagonist - the evil fairy Maleficent. Angelina Jolie is starring as the main character, while Elle Fanning stars as Princess Aurora. Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton and Sharlto Copley can be seen in supporting roles. ...

Movie Review: “Godzilla” – The Cons of a MUTO Picnic in San Fran

Last weekend I went to see THE movie of the year: "Godzilla". Apparently half of humanity saw it as well, cause my Facebook timeline has been full of "Godzilla"-themed statuses since its release day. Considering that I love action movies, especially with big monsters, I had high expectations. Did it live up to them? Before you read this review, be aware that it contains major spoilers!...
