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!

Basically every song on modern metal albums follows a formula and you get that formula in between one to three tracks.

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.

Ultimately I want my metal in a bar and not an art gallery.

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

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 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.
