HeavyMetalAbout.com has issued an interview with ENTOMBED vocalist L.G. Petrov, conducted by Chad Bowar. The following is an excerpt:

Q: Entombed has been together for 20 years now. Has your songwriting process changed much over the years?

A: "Before it was mostly me, Alex and Uffe that did most of the writing. But now that we are a four piece everybody gets more involved. Before there was one or two people doing most of the songs, but now it is all four of us. Normally I just sing, but for this album I came up with a couple of riffs and even do one solo guitar part."

Q: What is the significance of the title Serpent Saints?

A: "People trying to be saints are often doing it wrong, so they turn out to be serpents instead, doing more evil than good. People hide their evil deeds behind the good things. It sometimes turns out bad when people are trying to be good. It’s about our personal freedom: do what you want and don’t think about anybody else. It’s basically the things we’ve always written about. Don’t push people into believing what you b

elieve. We hate politics. We don’t care."

Q: Is there a chance Entombed will come to the U.S. to tour in the near future?

A: "We’ve been on our way a couple of times, but it always ends with broken contracts and people don’t keep promises that they make. But if we find somebody serious, we are happy to go over there. We just want to get over there and play. All the visas and work permits are difficult, but if can find somebody that really wants to put on a proper tour, we would be glad to do it."
