It's been going great. The album has gotten a lot of promotion and that feels good of course.
How was the tour with Finntroll and Amoral? I read a lot of good reviews.
It was a total success. Good organization, great crowds and killer people to tour with, that's all you need really.
Yeah, we actually returned home from Tuska today.
Yeah, it's completely finished and released by now!
Definately. The album turned out to be our most aggressive album so far but it still got all the traditional Naglfar trademarks. We've worked alot with the arrangements and the melodies and the result is an album filled with musical intelligence and spite towards anything breathing.
Thank you very much. It's not really anything we have reflected over. All we want is to create music that reeks of quality, music I would like to listen to myself and personally I feel that this album is our strongest one ever.
Once again you entered Ballerina Studios. Do you believe you have found your razor sharp sound over there?
We know this studio so well and that makes it much easier to achieve what we want and that's basically why we chose to record Pariah there as well. I don't know if the next album will be recorded there or not, time will tell, I guess!
It was Andreas[Nilsson - guitar] who found out about this guy and when he showed us some of the stuff he'd done we were certain that he would be able to do a great job and he did.
He's fine, living in Stockholm now so we don't see each other that often but we keep in contact.
Kris is doing the vocals on a permanent basis, yes.
I wouldn't say it gets older because of course we try to progress and evolve. We don't want to do the same album over and over again.
It's not something we've thought about. Vittra has already been recorded and as I told you, we don't want to make an album that sounds the same.
It feels great to know that people appreciate what you've created.
The lyrics are more misanthropic than ever before and basically deal with our disgust towards everything that's walking on this stinking planet.
Hmm, I can't really see the connection between Naglfar and the mentioned bands but it's always hard to judge your own music.
I certainly believe you remain true to your sound, having a unique, characteristic style. Is there something you would like to try in the future?
We're gonna start working on new material soon but I'll find it hard to believe that we'll be making any drastic changes. With Pariah we managed to combine the purest aggression with the melodic guitar work that's been present since the start and in my opinion that's what makes Naglfar unique.
Yeah, we've shot a video for the track The Perpetual Horrors and it will start to air soon.
We create music the way we think quality music should sound, we don't care about anything else. We do this to please ourselves.
Yeah, the internet makes it so much easier to keep in contact with people so I tend to use it quite a lot actually.
Thank you very much for the support, I really hope we'll be able to play in Greece soon!
