There perhaps has never been a more uplifting power metal band than rising UK quartet Fellowship, and perhaps no more uplifting interview than this one with Fellowship's vocalist Matthew Corry. Matt and I sat down for an incredible chat about the concept of "Death of the Author," how essential it is to be authentic and what that means, how anger is a useless and obsolete emotion to feel, and so, so much more. I left this talk feeling emotionally and spiritually brighter, and I have a feeling you will too. Check out Fellowship's newest album, "The Skies Above Eternity," out now!
