ROCK HARD - ProfilesArchive

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
ROCK HARD is the biggest magazine in Europe. It started in Germany in 1983 and since then you can find editions in France, Italy, Spain, Brazil and GREECE of course It specializes in all kinds of hard rock and heavy metal from AOR to black metal, without caring for musical borders in hard n heavy music.
It all started in June 2005, when the first issue was released and since December 2005, Sakis Fragos and Dimitris Seirinakis decided to publish the magazine through their own publishing company. ROCK HARD Greece is in stores every month (the ending of each month) with some really special stories to offer. Apart from the interviews with the artists that have great new albums to present to the fans, the reviews of the new CDs and the news, this magazine offers a great variety of other articles to deal with. The METAL QUEENS for example, where we feature beautiful female metalheads in a special photo-shooting, REMEMBER TOMORROW, which shows photos of the bands as they were back in the 80s, THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, where we hammer the bad things of heavy metal scene nowadays without being afraid of anything, MONSTERS OF ROCK, where we write the history of great rock/hard rock bands.
In addition we have the METAL HORRORSCOPE which is our humorous side of presenting the metal zodiac circle, BATTLE OF THE BANDS, where we bring groups face-to-face by judging them in various aspects, BLAST FROM THE PAST, where we write about the greatest albums that have been released in the same month as the current issues 10, 20 and 30 years ago, THE WASTED YEARS, featuring some great, less known hard rock acts, ROCK LIVING, HARD ROCKING, which is about young, mostly unsigned bands, BEHIND THE CURTAINS, where we interview producers, painters, A&Rs in music industry and so on. Moreover, we have plenty of great competitions and special articles respective to what's going on to the metal scene nowadays.
The editors of ROCK HARD are some of the most well-known and experienced journalists in Greece and correspodents can be found in the UK, Germany, France, even Brazil!!! As a magazine, weve been major sponsors to almost all the heavy metal shows in our country, including the prestigious Rockwave Festival, we have our radio zone in Atlantis FM, 105,2 every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 22:00 00:00 and every Saturday from 18:00 20:00. As for TV show... stay tuned!!!
