Carcass guitarist Bill Steer is featured in a new interview with Music Radar. An excerpt is available below.

Steer: “Playing outside of metal made me slow down a bit. When I was doing Firebird, in particular - that’s a three-piece and there’s loads of space. When you take a solo there’s no guitar behind you so there’s enough time to be in the moment and improvise a little. So I got to focus a lot more on feel and I guess I’ve carried that through to what I’ve tried to do with Gents as well. I think it has affected how I play in Carcass, just a little. But let’s be honest, there’s not much time to manoeuvre, the music’s so dense. There’s not much breathing space.”
