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

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

The religion and it's many barbed indoctrinating tendrils just start to become what makes you who you are, so you have to kind of destroy yourself to be able to rebuild yourself and make yourself whole again.

I think there's a certain limit to the number of times you can raise hairs on the back of peoples' heads before it gets kind of saccharin.

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.

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.
