“We never settle for 'This is good enough.' It always has to be amazing because that's the kind of music we'd want to listen to, and that's the kind of music we want to give to other people.”
“We don't follow trends; I don't think we even set trends. We just do our own thing. We just do what we love. That's why Arch Enemy sounds like that.”
“I'm really excited to be a part of the 'Fallen Heroes' EP.”
“Often the 'lead' of a classical song will have something really cool to its melody that - even though it might be a violin or something doing it in the song - I end up wanting to try something like that with my voice.”
“I didn't have any doubts about joining Arch Enemy.”
“I think 'War Eternal' - if I'm allowed to say it - for me, it's a masterpiece.”
“I never had this idea, 'I wanna be a solo artist.'”
“I have a lot of people I think are important to me, a lot of different causes I like to talk about also.”
“We should be pointing out people's accomplishments rather than their looks, but if it can promote our band, why not?”
“I do guest vocals all the time.”
“A lot of my musician friends have the same kind of anxiety and panic when faced with crowds of people, and I do, too.”
“I do think image is important in a band, because when I go see a show, I want to see a show; I don't want to just listen to the music.”
“That's one of the reasons I'm vegan. Death terrifies me. I don't want to impose death on anyone else.”
“I haven't seen too many similarities between Montreal and American cities.”
“Touring, it's really difficult to actually make a band work, and I think that's why there's so few bands that do work, actually, 'cause there's so much that goes into it.”
“Adrenaline really numbs out all pain.”
“I wasn't raised in any way where I was forced to be a vegetarian, too. I always had the choice. My mom would say, 'I don't eat the stuff, so I won't cook it, but if you want to eat it, you can. Let me tell you why I don't eat it.' So she was open about it.”
“I feel just as much a part of 'War Eternal' as I do 'Will to Power.'”
“Some people are really surprised that I can sing different ways.”
“I've worked as a singer in metal bands for over ten years now, so I've definitely kind of put in my time building that underground family, that underground, loyal fan base.”
