Hey bro. I'm sitting here with our new singer, Rolf. Yeah, dude, good to hear from you. Always a pleasure!

I'm clueless about sales, but we all agree that this wonderful piece of music should be a household item in the near future, so it's up to the label now to spread it. Reviews are great. Good to see that most people seem to appreciate the harder approach we have on this album!

I never expect anything. 10 years in the business, and we are still an underground band, just the way we like it. I guess this album sounds honest and direct in a way, and if we can bring across some of the great feeling we had when we recorded it, we cant ask for more.

In my ears, The Ultimate Demise seems to be the finest GRIFFIN effort to date. How do you see this album compared to the impact of your previous release, Lifeforce?

Well, the irony is that it's actually the ultimate demise that has the force of life in it! Lifeforce was extremely hard to record, ...demise... was easy, and Heavy Metal should be direct, spontaneous and impulsive. For Lifeforce, we wanted everything perfect, and a lot of creative impulses drowned in perfectionism. This is the album I always wanted to do, so I totally agree with you.

GRIFFIN isn't about 'polishing' ,we like our stuff dirty and to the point, also in music we just tried a little too hard before. Andy knows Metal, and after he heard the rehearsal tapes he instantly said wow, we are gonna need a rougher sound this time around. I trust him totally.

Faith? We don't mind a little trouble as long as we grow and learn. Everyone knows how to smoke a peacepipe around this camp!

They are all insane and should be institutionalized. The seem to know what they are doing, up to a certain point. They like a good party, and even though Roar is young, he seems to get younger day by day, and Rolf is old, although he stopped aging now; we all have a blast in each other's company. That's why things are rollin'.

Yes, absolutely. These people are idealistic about it all, and you can tell that they have a burning passion for what they do. Now, we're just waiting for them to fly us to Greece and give us one hell of a party!

To tell you the truth, my friend, I'm not following the scene that closely, and all I care about is GRIFFIN. We never earned any money from this anyway. Not in ten years have we earned a single dime. There are other things driving us and motivating us than money. These days you gotta be ready for a lot of competition if you're in a band or trying to run a label. So you tell me; is it a good thing that anyone can release an album today? That doesn't count at all, but if you've managed to release more than 3, you are serious about what you're doing...or something like that! Not sure, dude!

Anger towards a lot of things in life, but not in a destructive way, and mostly towards myself, but yeah, I guess you can find some anger for everyone in there somewhere!

I totally agree with you. There's absolutely no way I'll 'squeeze' more out of a song, or an album, than what is needed. This is not mathematic. If someone likes the album, play it twice, if not, why would they want more? Reign in blood is 25 minutes!

With all do respect Sir, NO.

We have plans to leave a trail of tears behind in Norway at the Fall! Tourdates will be announced, we will try to pack as many people as we can into real intimate venues, and then kick and scream for a couple of hours, and see what happens!

We have no fans, only friends, and so far this line-up has given 100% for our friends. Not everyone knows how to do that.

Thank YOU again sir, and your readers! Next time, let me buy you some ouzo in a Greek bar!
