People are appreciating the old stuff again and there's no MTV-style scene police to try to make us all listen to Machine Head and Pantera *puke*!

I think Nouveau Gloaming is a classic black metal record and I would hate to be a band that kept trying to recapture the same essence, but failing, for the rest of its days.

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

In the past stories have been what tethers us to the world and they've made us who we are.

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.

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.
