It takes quite the amount of work, but it’s great fun. I enjoy the process of rearranging and making sure songs works as acoustic versions, which is not always the case.

We actually did a tv performance shortly before Christmas last year where we played ‘Christmas Truce’ acoustically, so much fun! I think it turned out great. Would it be an option for you to include more acoustic sounds in your music? And there is also an acoustic version of ‘Christmas Truce’. I enjoy the process of rearranging and making sure songs works as acoustic versions, which is not always the case Short Nerd Question: Maiden, Priest or Saxon? The whole process is a back and forth with ideas and input from both sides. Once again we worked with there talented artist Peter Sallai to create this album cover, we’ve worked with him for many years now and this time he outdid himself. Do you let your own ideas flow in, or do you get it completely out of your hand? Also here it fits perfectly to the new album, and makes directly desire to hear. As with all your albums, it immediately catches the eye. The artwork of “The War to end all wars” is once again ingenious. Well, I think this songs says just that, for one it’s in major key which is great fun! And then trying to make sure that whatever you put on there fits the song and improves it, that’s always the balance, adding more instruments doesn’t necessarily make the song better, but finding the right one for sure does. Did you ever think about adding different instruments like bagpipes or flutes as a stylistic device? The song ‘Versailles’ has a very folky and traditional mood to it. But I don’t think the pandemic made us focus more or less, everyone in this band is up for the task of recording an album and shows up 100% prepared, focused and hungry, in pandemic times or not. For sure we had some more time to focus on only that, but it also came with great challenges, for example when we entered the studio to start recording we had to minimise the risk of someone getting sick and have to postpone the process…So we had to be smart and plan well 🙂 It all turned out great and Im so proud of this album, both musically and sound…our greatest sounding album so far, without a doubt. Did the Corona Lockdown Break help your creativity, like “more Time, more ideas”?Īs mentioned before, the process of writing is a constant, so it’s hard to set a date of when exactly we started to work in “The war to end all wars”.

And then the puzzle of choosing the topic and making sure that the music does the story or theme justice. Everybody brings a “touring” studio in case ideas pops up. Usually the music comes first, we write throughout the year, all the time a little bit, Even on tour. Writing the lyrics and the historic background, or the song itself? Are you building the song around the story? But also, other things in life can inspire your playing, nature, conversations, movies or books, you just gotta be open for it.īefore you writing new material. My first real “holy shit” moment was without a doubt when I heard Judas Priests Painkiller album… that really had a massive impact on me, and since then Ive always had a massive respect for them and the discography.

My wife is a academically educated opera singer, so in our house there’s all kinds of music being played, from Fleetwood Mac to Dimmu Borgir. I’ve always found a good song being a good song, no matter the genre… And early on in my musical career I also realised that listening to different styles of music and genres improves your playing and ultimately your understanding of music. I’ve been listening to all kinds of music, throughout my life. Thanks for all the kind words, much appreciated!

What music do you listen to besides classic heavy metal? Which artists inspired you? My first real “holy shit” moment was without a doubt when I heard Judas Priests Painkiller album… And I can hardly wait to see you on your tour this year. ‘Lady of the Dark’ and ‘Stormtroopers’ are my favorites.Īt the moment the Promo is rotating here all the time. All english interviews on įirst of all… congratulations on your new Album.
