I know it it`s a cliché to say that but it`s truly what I feel. What direction is the new album taking so far?įrom the material I`ve been working with so far lyrically it sounds like a natural progression from “Pitch Black Progress”. We try to create the kind of music we would want to listen to, melodic death metal or not. Everything a metal head ca n possibly like. We do all kinds of stuff in our music and you find a lot of 80`s metal influences aswell as modern metal mixed with prog and death metal. I think we are different because we are not seeing ourselves as a melodic death metal band, we were sort of put into that category by other people and embraced just because it was the most convenient thing to do. What do you think separates Scar Symmetry from the melodic death metal pack? Music is not running in the family, we`ll see what happens when my kids get a little older. I have two kids but I`m not married even though I live with the mother of my children. How many of you are married and have kids, if any? Does music run in the family? Or Sean Reinert, or some other excellent musician. But it`s rarely “practice” per se, for me, it`s mostly playing songs and fooling around with whatever I feel like. If nothing`s going on I may spend time composing and playing when I feel like it, about 6-8 hours spread out on one week. When something is happening, like a tour or what have you, I play every day for approx. It`s a bit different from period to period. How much do you practice your instrument on average? If I had to commit to only one band I would feel a bit imprisoned musically, even if Scar Symmetry turns out to be the “main band” I would still have little projects going on here and there. If you had to commit to only one band, would it be Scar Symmetry? I`m sure everyone in Scar Symmetry agrees with me on that one. And also playing different styles of music with different bands is also very enlightening in a creative sense. In Scar Symmetry I`m the drummer and the lyricist but in Altered Aeon, for example, I`m the composer which opens a totally new portal for me to express myself. Personally I get re-energized by working on other projects and bands, and it`s also a great opportunity to embrace a different role in a band-situation. Considering how many side projects all of you are involved with, how do you prevent spreading yourselves too thin musically? Being in so many bands, do you ever feel burned out or does it re-energize you?
