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

There are many ways to portray darkness and evil and it isn't all in being mean and tough.

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.

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

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.

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