Hate walks hand in hand with hate, and black metal especially is a genre that is full of white power bands.

I took music theory in high school and dropped out halfway through the semester because it was ruining music for me.

I know plenty of hyper-intelligent metal people, but at the same time, there's this dumbass, hardheaded, macho attitude associated with it. For younger people, it's like a succubus.

If I'm going to make music and put my heart and soul into this and dedicate my whole life to it, I want to be making something that 15, 20, 30 years from now, somebody is listening to and that is a staple of the time it came out.

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

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.
