The Metal Den has issued an interview with HATESPHERE leader Peter "Pepe" Lyse Hansen. The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Randy "Rocket" Cody:
Q: What first drew you to playing music?
A: "I got drawn towards hard rock bands which a guy from my class listened to. As this guy was playing guitar, I quickly started as well... it took my around three years to find a band though, and this was actually what later developed into HateSphere. So I have been in this band ever since."
Q: When exactly did you first start playing the guitar?
A: "At the age of 11. I am actually left-handed but my music teacher at school made me play with my right hand, and it has been stuck there ever since, ha ha. At first it was classical guitar, but when I bought my first electric guitar, I was sold!!!"
Q: Did you ever take any formal guitar lessons?
A: "Yes. My parents bought me my first guitar – an acoustic one – only demanding that I would take guitar lessons – so I did at a local music school. It lasted around one and a half year, and then I have been teaching myself ever since..."
