Quotes:
"We are not a political band, solely for the reasons of not all of us agree with each other" -Johannes Eckerström
"The best riffs are always the ones which give me ambition. It comes from an angle of artistic reflection. The only real agenda is honesty, sincerity and things we are passionate about. What could be perceived as political is leaking into that."
-Johannes Eckerström
