Joining a sub-culture, any sub-culture, for whatever reason, is as I see it never a legitimate self-expression. It is always a result of sheep mentality; a wish to belong somewhere.

Return to a simpler life, and you will see that behind the expensive cars, the fashionable clothes, the empty celebrities, the fancy houses and the thick layers of make-up life has real meaning. Behind all the lies there is a deep well of wisdom that we can all drink from, and grow wiser, healthier and happier.

Personally I don't understand why the metal press even bother, but I guess it is good they do.

Music and improving the world are two sides of the same coin.

Unless you already have a name well known in at least one stratum of society, I don't think trying to do things yourself will be easy - if at all possible.

I don't make music for any other reason than me enjoying music, and I am also glad that I am able to make a living of this.

Being attacked by the press is not something I see as a problem, but rather a confirmation that I am on the right track. It is even better when they ignore me completely, like the Norwegian press does; that means they are really afraid.
