I'm constantly writing music and keeping myself busy somehow.

'Blood Host' is super heavy. Especially on the verses, it has an industrial stomp. It's one of my favourite tracks just because the plot of it is so heavy. It's a total crushing tune; it doesn't get any heavier than that main riff, just a straight quarter-note powerhouse.

Every day is a good day above ground, and especially being able to play metal and being able to your craft and everything. You've gotta respect that, because it's something that can be taken away from you really quick.

You can't give up in life. You just can't do it, no matter what it is that is going on.

I got 'Reign In Blood' for Easter one year - how ironic is that?

I've been into 3IOB since 'Battle Cry Under a Winter's Sun.' I've wanted to work with them since.

My advice always is to start very simple and master your timing and master the most simple beats that you can, and you just keep elevating from that. Trying to go right into playing fast is not necessarily the best way to go about it, because if you don't have your foundation locked in, it's hard to progress.

I don't pay attention to critics.

I'm writing music that people can grasp and hold on to... something that resonates. If you don't have that, then you have nothing.
