EVEMASTER guitarist Tomi Mykkänen - also known as the vocalist for Finnish bashers BATTLELORE - is featured in a new interview with Blistering.com. An excerpt is available below:

Blistering.com: Your sound has certainly been refined since (previous album) MMIV. Do you think you’ve fully shed the black metal elements from your early days?

Mykkänen: "III is kind of different, I share your point of view. I have a few song ideas brewing at the moment and I have to say that the black metal elements are not fully shed yet. We'll see how it will turn out to be, but I'm not making any decision to any side, what comes out comes out and we'll see if it works."

Blistering.com: You had some very notable guest spots on the album, including Dan Swano, Markus Vanhala, and Ville Sorvali. How did you get these guys on the album?

Mykkänen: "Markus and Ville are both old friends who just were interested and available when needed. With Dan it was a bit different thing. When he was re-starting his studio (Unisound), my friend Aki Nuopponen (ex-KORROOSIO, IMPERIUMI, Inferno Magazine) told me about Dan re-starting the studio and gave me Dan's contacts. So, I contacted him and asked about Evemaster project and he was of course straight into it. But as you can read from above, the Evemaster stuff took a long time to be ready for Dan, so in the period in between he worked on Battlelore's The Last Alliance album. And after III, he also did the latest Battlelore album, Doombound."
