Rock Overdose: From the tracks we've listened to so far, your new album sounds a lot faster and heavier than your latest two albums.
Sami Yli-Sirniö: "Yes, I think so too. Especially when you think about songs like 'Totalitarian Terror' or something like that. It's meant like that to show people that we're not getting old. There's a thrashing mayhem going on for sure! That was also the idea from the beginning. We cut any signs of mellowing down at this age yet."Go to this location for the complete interview.
