"I think it's a bit different compared to Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk and the others. It's Ihsahn's [guitarist and vocalist] expertise at this kind of music that I love. This album is quite progressive compared to some of the earlier stuff. I've not made it a secret that I love that sound and that type of music. Ihsahn is just a great guitar player, and as singer he was always doing things a little bit different to other bands in that genre. It's a real showcase of his ability to write and perform this type of sound. I'm a fan of everything he's done, especially that first solo album [The Adversary from 2006], but I'm a much bigger fan of Emperor. I found out about Emperor by doing what I think a lot more people should do, which is take the time to look around and search for new and exciting bands. That's how I've always found music from day one, just by asking around. Discovering a band by yourself is great and a very DIY way to do things. Making an extreme metal record with him is still on the bucket list. I just wish I had more time. We're still in contact and I talk to him once or twice a year and hopefully I'll see him when we go over to do these shows in Sweden."

"This reshaped music and the way I wanted to approach it. You wouldn't think it because it had been out 10 years when I got into it in 2003. I was working in this warehouse and this guy used to bring loads of hip hop in and stick it on. And after a while it's like, this is really good, you know. They didn't even rap on some tracks, it's just shouting. And all the martial arts stuff. The chaos of it and the intermissions of, ""Some blokes got shot round the corner, I'm not joking!"" It's really funny. I found I really connected to it because at the time I had no money. I was a bit of a shit-kicker. You got the impression that these were people at the end of their tether. Not in a good position. Just chaotic. It didn't adhere to this idea of hip hop, hippety hop. It made no sense as well, especially people like Ol' Dirty Bastard, I was just like, ""What the fuck are you on about?"" That really influenced me. I realised you could marry words that don't make sense. They gave across this humanist thing, they weren't just intimidating, or playing up to this image. I found that quite endearing. I like the dusty drum beat, the production is great."
