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 bring any ideology or barriers with me into my music.

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

I think there's a certain limit to the number of times you can raise hairs on the back of peoples' heads before it gets kind of saccharin.

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

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

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.
