Interview:

Music reflects out thoughts that are very deep inside. When the words are not enough to describe, music is always there to help us! It is a whole of what we have seen and experienced so far. The real us! The spiritual side of it stems from here. When we compose a song, it is a part of us; we feel that we are discharged of anger, we get rid of our unnecessary opinions, and just feeling music. Owing to this, we are able to control our temper, otherwise Metal music is a resistance to persistence. It is so senseless to accept every hypothetic idea without questioning it, and live like a puppet according to someone else’s rules. This situation is unacceptable for Metal’s spirituality.

If we think something is right, then it is right without a doubt. No one can judge this. Even we may think that everything is wrong. We can be one against all, even the whole universe. Everyone can satisfy everything themselves. All of us can be our own gods, just let it be. If this is called “heresy” then we are all meant to be heretic. Yes we are. But there is only one question: “heretic according to whom?”
