The Blackened Blues Featuring Loose Talk With Anberlin putting a hold on its career, two of its members – Christian McAlhaney and Deon Rexroat – weren't ready to put on hold on music as their careers. Now, their former side project – a "blackened blues" rock and roll outfit – has become their main gig. Let's Get to the Heart of Things Featuring The Used "Music is our everything; we live and die for it. It’s our way to be human, so making songs that make that deep human connection is really important for The Used." In a new age of releasing music in a socially-distanced world, Bert McCracken and The Used face the challenge of human connection when physical connection is taboo. HM contributing writer Andrew Voigt dives in with McCracken about The Used's new album, Heartwork, his absence on social media, and why 2020 will be the year of rice. An Artist's Obsession Featuring The Word Alive Telle Smith, vocalist for The Word Alive, is coming off the release of the band's sixth studio album, MONOMANIA. That was in February. This is, well, now. Originally planned to tour for the new album and play for millions, he’s in his house in California... trading stocks. HM contributing writer Andrew Voigt catches up with the quarantined Smith. PR in the Time of Pandemic Featuring Amy Sciarretto No one knows artists better than Amy Sciarretto, industry veteran and President of Atom Splitter PR. So when the world hit pause and artists had to call an audible, there is no one better to talk to about how those bands are pivoting in a new reality. Sciarretto talks to us from her own home in New Jersey about how the pandemic is affecting artists, their process of undergoing transition, and how it's going to change music – maybe in great and unexpected ways. Together We are Not Alone, Even When We Feel Lost Featuring Sleeping with Sirens Last year, Sleeping With Sirens put out 'How it Feels to Be Lost' with plans to support it throughout 2020. And then, well, 2020 happened. HM contributing writer Andrew Voigt speaks with vocalist Kellin Quinn about putting the band on pause, starting a new project in quarantine, and his new-found life as a part-time teacher. Man on Fire Featuring Asking Alexandria Multihyphenate vocalist-actor-musician-entrepreneur Danny Worsnop can't cool off as his main gig, Asking Alexandria, releases their sixth studio album, 'Like a House on Fire' The Unwavering Drive to Create Featuring The Devil Wears Prada The bigger they got, the less The Devil Wears Prada took it easy.

You have to put your trust in something you can’t see. That’s the idea of an eclipse." HM contributing writer Andrew Voigt revisits Wolves at the Gate's 2019 release, 'Eclipse,' with vocalist and songwriter Steve Cobucci, and explores his new (aptly named) project, Home Front. How to Survive the Shadows Featuring Scott Stapp "Unknowingly, the song is taking on a kind of other meaning and it’s relating to people in another way." Scott Stapp's single, "Survivor," has found new life as a quarantine anthem. Now he just needs to figure out if he can pass sixth grade. Guardians of the Galaxy Featuring August Burns Red "I hope it encourages you to look around and see the massive needs in the world today. Step in and reach out. Assist those who really can’t do what needs to be done for themselves. There’s so much reward in that." Nao Lewandowski talks to August Burns Red drummer Matt Greiner about the band's eighth studio album and how to find fulfillment in creativity and selflessness. Jake Luhrs Wants to Help You Featuring August Burns Red August Burns Red released their eighth album, 'Guardians,' earlier this month when the rest of the world came to a halt. And amidst an enveloping and oppressive anxiety and uncertainty, Jake Luhrs has learned to thrive. We talk to Luhrs about the new world, the new album, but, most importantly, how to get help and stay grounded when every day looks exactly like the last. Liminal Messaging Featuring Vagabonds On Vagabonds' latest release, 'Liminal Space,' frontman Luke Dean lives between the seasons but embraced one mentality: "I wanted to create and contribute something beautiful to the world." Breaking Waves Featuring Rusty Shipp Surf-rock, sea mines, and spirituality: How Rusty Shipp brought war and peace together on their most recent release, 'Liquid Exorcist' Norma Jean's Mirrored Image Featuring Norma Jean "The album has two sides, and it's meant to be interpreted from that perspective. If you think of a mirror ... and you're looking at yourself, you're used to the same room all the time. We don't think about what's necessarily behind us because it's the same thing every day. And we're used to that." Norma Jean goes behind the mirror on their latest release, 'All Hail,' a tribute to their fans. An Impactful Autopsy Featuring Fit for an Autopsy "I feel like there’s nothing more impactful than basing your record around those events that are actually part of the world." Fit for an Autopsy takes on the need for humanity's change on 'The Sea of Tragic Beasts,' the band's fifth album that Will Putney describes as "a little outside the box." The Devil's Next Act Featuring The Devil Wears Prada With a dynamic and challenging new release, The Devil Wears Prada gears up for their next 'Act,' a purposefully ambiguous roller coaster of a record Rescued by Light Featuring Wolves at the Gate Wolves at the Gate stand firm in their formidable subtext of rescuing hope for humanity on their latest release, 'Eclipse.' Becoming Comrades Featuring Comrades "I feel like the things we wrote and the things we said on the record were the things we needed to write and the things we needed to say. We did our best at what we needed to do." Growing into Permanence Featuring After the Burial With over fifteen years as a band, After the Burial has already dug deep and planted the seeds. Now, those roots have taken hold, been tested, and have proved true on their latest release, 'Evergreen.' Where You Want to Be Featuring Taking Back Sunday Twenty Years of Taking Back Sunday Carrying the Torch Featuring The Drowned God The Drowned God is a new generation of band, fueled by the odd dichotomy of seeking hope in a hopeless world. Now, with their second release, 'I'll Always Be the Same,' the band sits down with HM and expands on art, influence, and, of course, a touch of religion.

We need to have imagination to find hope in the middle of apocalypse." Fell on Black Days Featuring Fit For A King "Even on your darkest days, try to find the bright spot because there is one."
