I just hope we can realize that because it is going to be the all time dream come true if we can pull it off. It is going to take alot of time, effort, work, and money. We will see what happens, I am really looking forward to it. |
Interesting.... |

I think the most intriguing answer is this one:
Were there any particular writers or poets that influenced your writing style in terms of usage of metaphors or phrasing?
One of my biggest inspirations, especially in the early days is the guy from My Dying Bride, Aaron Stainthorpe. I still adore his lyrics. As a metal music lyricist he is still my biggest idol. I read alot of poetry and lately I have found these old American poets like Edgar Allen Poe is one of my favorites and especially Walt Whitman. His book Song Of Myself has kind of become my personal bible. It holds a life philosophy that I can truly relate to. It is the greatest piece of poetry ever written and I think that this will show on the next album very strongly.
Read that last line again.

I like how you didn't mention the Tarja fiasco because I believe that it's been done to death. This is a nice good personal interview which gets into the mind of Tuomas and doesn't bog it down with band related stuff or other band members.
Good interview.

| Totally agree. You didn't even talk about Anette which I found a little surprising but definitely a good interview. |
