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?

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.

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

I think it's safe to say that 50% of the record buying metal community is people between the ages of 16 and 25 - people still in their teenage-angsty, early young-adult years.

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

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

I don't think in time signatures, and when I do, what I write is generally 3/4 or 4/4, the most basic, straightforward stuff. I think that comes from just not being a super-schooled musician.
