My deepest apologies to all of our friends, fans and people who have worked on and supported us being a part of this festival, we are sorry for these awful circumstances and you can be certain this will not defeat us.

We live with the things that we do to ourselves and others in doing what we've done to ourselves.

The band has always been such a huge part of my life and it kept me very busy. That, in combination with something like running a record label, just means my whole life revolves completely around metal music and I can't do that anymore.

Some people are really into being music-minded and knowing all their scales and how to read music and speak the language.

I got really tired of metal music. How do you pick what's good to sell when you're not totally into what you're listening to and marketing?

You can have the coolest job in the world, but it only seems cool until you get sick of it.

I'm not going to hide the fact that I am a happy person.
