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.

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

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

It's been nice to have a band and people I'm close to that I can get that understanding from and help me realize what I want to do in my life as a musician.

As convenient as that would be to make it easier to communicate with more prolific musicians, I don't want to think of music like a math equation.

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

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.
