I guess I've never been introduced properly to Pink Floyd. I know they're great, don't get me wrong. Excellent, excellent musicians great band awesome harmony great song writers I just don't know anything besides, I guess, the popular songs on the radio.

I've heard too many times where people say that I'm this ultra-serious guy. In truth, I've got an extremely absurd sense of humor. I thrive on the absurd - I love it.

To me, I'm for a band whose forefront is the music.

In my better sense of mind, I know that Im far from alone and far from the worst, and the earth keeps spinning. Everything keeps moving, with or without me.

I think music is a big, big wide world, and I am voyager on this particular ship in this sea of wild music, and I'm gonna dive in and find as many fish as I can and catch them all. I love music.

You're always going to have detractors, and you're always going to have people who love you, and that's how it's perfectly balanced and the world spins on.

To do an extreme metal record is something that is well within my capacity as a musician to write stuff out of the box, write stuff that's probably more extreme than the band I'm in at the present time, and it's something that needs to come out of me one way or another.

There it is again. Image. Once again. I get really tired of it quick

And it seems to be today, image is a real important thing once again.

With this LP we were all very clear on the approach we wanted to take, which was to do something heavy, but also experiment with a lot of other things we really like.

There's always something going on, but thank goodness these days it's with a clear head, which helps me massively.

Music is there for us to explore. To intentionally limit yourself to one, two, or three genres is limitation at its worst. Music is huge its a gigantic history lesson, and if you are true music fan or a musician, you should explore it. Its all right there in front of us.

I can easily say I've done everything I've wanted in music.

I am the type that cannot stay put in living in the past and solely in the past. It's not healthy and it doesn't feel right.

I'm a bad pessimist. I don't think about how successful any record I've ever done is going to do before it came out.
