I don't want people to feel like they'd overdosed on too much candy.

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.

Most every album - and especially metal albums these days - are made in a way that you can grow tired of them very easily: They're made to be dissected and played on radio, released as singles or stuck on at parties.

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

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.

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