Dutch Metal band Elegy released some strong albums throughout the 90s and early 2000 and I did several interviews with the band. This is the first with founder and guitar player Henk van der Laars. After the 1995 album Lost the band went through some important lineup changes just as they had secured a new record deal. Hear Lars talk about the stressful situation and how it turned out great in this interview from 1997.

Stig is the founder and the president of Metal Express Radio, based out of Oslo, Norway. He has been around doing Metal radio since the mid-eighties.
