      Necronomicon is not known for doing an abundance of interviews so I was pretty thrilled with the chance to chat with Rob, better known as The Witch. What followed was a rare look at his initiation to heavy metal as well as the formation and evolution of one of the most recognizable brands in the genre and the rumours that inspired the stage name. Most surprising were the influences on their sound, but after replaying Advent Of The Human God, there is no doubt as to what inspires Necronomicon's orchestration.                 Dink Kickin: I've read your lyrics. You're a witch! Rob T: It was The Witch King originally, but it was too Tolkein-ish. I think it was a little bit arrogant.         The funny part is that I didn't give myself that name.

    At long last Obsidian's Jason Campbell has agreed to chat! Distracting the public with an abundance of live shows, they've secretly been working on a new album. Giggling like teenagers we talk about the band's multinational origins, Jason's start in music and inability to walk away from the back end of things, as well as the distant future playing the casino circuit. DK: How long have you been with Obsidian? JC: Four years this September. We got our first lead guitar player shortly after we formed. It would have been       less than a year after that when he left to go back to school. Daniel came into the band and we haven't       looked back since. He's been in the band for about three years. The "original guitarist" didn't play on any       of the records. He didn't write any of the music so he sort of existed, but he didn't. DK: (laughs) He was a dream. JC: (laughs) Yeah, he was more of a vapour. (laughs) DK:...
