“I fucking hate it. I hate it because I think so many good things get lost in people’s frenzy to get something new. People get tired of stuff so quick and I don’t think that a lot of things that should be paid attention to get the attention they deserve."

“It would be good not to get labelled as ‘that pirate-metal band’, but just simply being called a metal band."

"Their live presentation was slick and carefully hone. There are professional football teams less well-drilled."

“We’re all influenced by a lot of different styles of music, not just metal or hard rock."

"The band is stronger than ever – what you can expect is a really tight band."

“I guess there’s not a whole lot that’s very punk about us."
