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

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 like bands who would play music like Code. I mean I hate most bands with emotional singing parts (I adore metal singing like Iron Maiden though!)

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

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

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.
