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

I think there was a brief period where Norwegian bands were evolving and that was an interesting time where it seemed like a band like Darkthrone was stuck in the midst of a lot of change and seemed a bit redundant.

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.

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

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 want people to feel like they'd overdosed on too much candy.
