Bands are more willing to take risks and we don't need this big label over us anymore telling us what it means to sell records and get into magazines.

I like what's going on in Finland, with the rebirth of Beherit. I also like a band called Oranssi Pazuzu and a band called Spiderpact. There's a great scene there where they don't really care what's going on elsewhere and create music in their own vacuum.

Before the 90s, black metal wasn't a selling tool [and didn't] have money behind it. Then it became a pop sensation. Now that the record industry has collapsed and started to rot, things are livening up a bit again.

I don't want people to feel like they'd overdosed on too much candy.

Everyone's attention span these days is limited to how long it takes to flick the iPod wheel on to the next song.

I loathe most crossover music. Yet I like to think when it comes to Code it's something different.
