Metal-Rules.com has issue an interview with MASTER's Paul Speckmann, conducted by Luxi Lahtinen. The following is an excerpt from the interview:

Q: Let's talk about some current topics of Master at first. Master's 9th studio album, titled Slaves To Society, has now been released in the American territory also - via Ibex Moon Records that is owned by the INCANTATION mastermind John McEntee. Can you tell why it took about a year to get it released in the States?

A: "This is a rather interesting question to begin with. I signed to a distributor in Germany called Twilight several years ago in hopes of getting the latest CD distributed worldwide and this was clearly not the case in the end. Many labels make broken promises in the end. I admit that they are one of the biggest distributors in Germany alongside Nuclear Blast, but that’s really about it. I don’t even have distribution in the country I now live in. It’s a bit silly living in the Czech Republic and you cannot even find the CD in the shops. In the beginning Twilight was very helpful and worked really well with Master, but over the last several years they have signed hundreds of groups and Master has fallen by the wayside. The same happened in the past with Nuclear Blast. With the re-release of the CD in the States, new doors have opened and we will be touring in July of 2009. This will be the second tour since this years excursion. John is really supporting Master in a big way and I certainly appreciate the help over there."
