What inspires you?

Heavy music i guess, I realy hate that question, cause i alway wind up thinking about it for days afterwords.
One thing that will always inspire me is old school thrash bands.
I have to use the frase, i dont look for inspiration, inspiration finds me. I can get inspired by anything actually. A tv show, a book, movie, happenings in life. 

How often and where do you reherse? The band practice minimum twise a week. But me personaly, i practice every day.

How have you developed since you started with the music? I didnt learn a bunch of cover songe in the beginning. I just learnd some cool riffs and started make own music right away.
You can say that my main guitar inspiration comes from James Hetfield, Mark Morten and Dime.

What are your songs about? Rebellion, personal issues and feelings, war, political and socially conscious themes.

Who does the composing and writes the lyrics? Until now i have written the most of the music ideas and lyrics.
But in the process of making the arrangements and lyrics complete, the whole band has played an important role.

Do you start with the music or the lyrics? Depends, if i have a specific idea for a lyric i can start to make the music fit the feelings that surrounds the idea. But for the most part i write the music first the lyrics come on top of that.  Now days Gustav takes as much responsibility for getting the lyrics down as i do.

Bastard in Tromsø has been our play ground.
Zadar in Croatia.
Second time in Japan in September 2015.
Rest of the places we have only been to once.

What was your first gig like?

Thrilling and exciting. But it sucket big time, know one was knowing what they where doing except the drummer we had at the moment.
We looked like we looked like douchebags and sounded like two wet male cats rawling at eachother in a back alley.

Sold out show, it was our best show in our home town to date.

What do you think about people downloading music instead of buying records nowadays? I think Its cool. The only issue that need to be solved in the music industry is how bands gonna make money.
If musicians dont earn any money, ther is no money. Who is gonna pay the booking agency, the managments, the PR firms etc.

How do you think the music industry have changed because of this? I think they have slep through it. And now they have the long hard way back. Instead of being a part of the change back in the 90s they let the privat market take control.
If the industry had own their own digital distribution system they would have control of the market and the money.

Stay on it:)

Do you have any role models or idols? James Hetfield (Metallica) and Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead).

Why do you think that they exist? Because of their attitude, music and their passion for the life as a touring artist brings.
And the most important of all, not giving up on your dream. Instead, embrace it and give it all you got.

Is it easier to find inspiration from older bands, or bands that are more active today? As i said earlier, it depends on what you are looking for. If you look for a more modern rhythmical section it is better to listen to Gojira that Megadeth.

What have been your biggest obstacles? The whole admin part of running a band.

What advice would you give other bands or artists?

Make sure to have people around you that are hundred percentage on the same walve link as you.
Make music you belive in. Sell it with all your heart, get a job and put money in the band.
And be willing to learn stuff that isnt playing the instrument.
And get out there and tour.
