I’d like to start with a question that covers broad issues: when you were born, musical genres and subcultures in music were simply pivotal: you were part of the indie scene, or the metal scene, or were part of the electronic music scene – It was quite strict. That was the 90s. Today, the situation is brand different. You’re still here though, and you’ve brilliantly survived all those changes…
CS: If you look at the metal scene way back when we started, we were quite an exception. Major parts of the bands were doing something completely different to what we were doing: there was power metal, then death metal, stuff like that. We were into something else, the dark wave the related to bands like Type O Negative or Paradise Lost, but still we borrowed something from bands like Pantera, Iron Maiden, Metallica as well. Dark was the dominant thing. We were outsiders.
