As previously reported, In Flames drummer Daniel Svensson recently spoke with Giorgio Mustica at The Aquarian Weekly. An excerpt from the interview is available below:

Q: It seems like the band has been coming to America pretty often the past few years. Is there something about coming here that you guys really enjoy?

Daniel: "We enjoy playing anywhere but it’s convenient touring in North America and we have a solid fanbase that we’ve been building up since we started. We don’t really mind touring; we can go wherever, basically. As long as there is a scene, we’ll go. The US and Canada have been treating us well so we’re happy to be back."

Q: Your latest album has been received very well from both fans and the press. Have you paid attention to what the reaction is like?

Daniel: "Of course. We’re really grateful that people are still supporting us even though sometimes we experiment a little bit with the music, but our fans are really staying loyal to the band and we’re really happy. But we try not to think too much about what people would think about the album while we’re writing. It’s most important that we can stand behind it and be proud of it. And we’ll never release something that we can’t stand behind. If people like it that’s a bonus and they do, so we’re happy."

Q: The album charted the highest in the band’s history here in the U.S. Was it one of your goals when recording this album to reach more people across the world?

Daniel: "Our goal is to record the best album so far in our career and then you need a whole lot of luck that the fans approve of the album. We don’t have such goals, I mean, of course we want to grow as a band, but you do that by touring, I think. It’s not really the sound of the album that will help you to gain more fans around the world, but we do want to tour as much as possible and play in front of new fans in new places. I mean, it is our goal but it’s not our intention when we do the album basically. That’s a different story."
