I think when you have a band that are so separate and isolated then you have to know each others styles and characters quite well.

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.

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

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

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.

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