When you're trying to free yourself from a religion that has been ingrained in you since childhood, it's more like ripping out your veins and tendons.

I don't think it's "true" to sit and play old school heavy metal just so that you can send it to Fenriz or get a pat on the back from the guys you admire and hang out with.

You never leave a band like DHG. There's very few who are insane enough to be a part of something like that and you just can't take it out of you that easily!

I don't think there's anything remotely "new" or "experimental" about any modern metal bands.

I have a lot of mental scars from being brought up Catholic and being sent to Catholic school for 13 years!

I do try to pay attention to new bands and what's happening within the scene. I try to make sure I give everything a listen - even if I loathe it.

I don't bring any ideology or barriers with me into my music.
