“I can’t fucking wait... We are ready to play these songs, with this band. I honestly believe that this album is up there with our best."

"We were going through photo albums and there was a lot of imagery from [Iceland’s capital] Reykjavik, because we travelled there in 2009, and it was nice to be able to revisit that trip and paint a landscape lyrically about our time there."

"We decided to ‘go independent’, as it were, because we had no choice.”

"We’re still all great mates. We had a beer, I think it was back in May this year, ostensibly to clear the air on where we were going on the new demos and everything, but I think we all came to the conclusion that maybe it’s best to knock this on the head and have one final big show as a send-off."

"The response has been really good, really positive. But I’m always working on what’s next, so you know, I’m Mister What Comes Next, not Mister What Happened Before."

"And so by the time I got to putting out the record, and by the time it was finished, I realised that I didn’t really feel like talking about all that stuff... because I wasn’t angry anymore."

“I think working with crazy people brings out a lot of great things because they just bring an insane energy that make me feel really secure!”

“I think it’s a misconception that people who listen to grindcore don’t listen to other styles of music.”

"We’ve done some recording with our current rhythm section who’ve been with us four or five years now and it’s very easy recording with them somehow – they’re a very lively pair of lads because they’re both, what, 22 now, which is great."

“I think less is more sometimes, and that’s what we learnt from the first recordings. We weren’t too happy with them – I just found it too ‘studio’.”

"We’re just a little band basically. We’ve met some people though, that want to work with us so hopefully there’ll be a few opportunities to get back to the EU."

"I don’t have any expectations. I just want to keep writing music. I want to be more prolific – because for years there I just wasn’t doing anything at all."
