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 like just having that separation between my music life and my personal life.

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

When you're not putting a bunch of chemicals into everbody, people tend not to fly off the handle.

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.

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.
