MARDUK's Morgan Håkansson spoke exclusively to Greece's Rockpages during the band's recent concert in Athens. The following is an excerpt:
Q: 2009 was another very busy year for Marduk. As if touring was not enough you recorded a new album, worked for other bands too, Mortuus also worked for his own band... What gives you the strength to work so much and constantly? Is it challenging for you?
A: "No, not challenging... I mean we are highly devoted to what we do so we get energy flown and I think it’s a great pleasure to work hard for what we do. We believe in power of music and also believe in being able to perform in as many areas as possible; to be in all parts of the world. I mean we have to work constantly because this is what we enjoy to do: perform and work towards the same goals. We don’t like sitting around, we always work with something."
Q: How come you wrote a song for NEFANDUS?
A: "I wanted to do it because I know the main guy for many years from like the early years. He also has another band, OFERMOD, and he actually wrote the lyrics for us for this latest album we did, so it’s a mutual thing. I asked him to write lyrics for us and he was proper to let me speak through one of his songs. It just happened!"
