Italy's SpazioRock.it recently conducted an exclusive interview with THERION singer Thomas Vikstrom, in which he discusses the new album and the issue about Snowy Shaw. The following is an excerpt:
Q: Now let’s talk about the band: I think you can imagine what my question will be. The hottest news regard, of course, Snowy Shaw: can you tell us what happened?
A: "Yes, I can tell you what happened. We did the three gigs in Mexico in June: on the plane, he took us aside and told us, 'I have recorded the new DIMMU BORGIR album and I will go with them'. We were very shocked but we were taking it because we had the new album coming out and we had the tour lineup already done... So we had to sit down after Mexico and ask ourselves what to do: 'Should we take another one instead of Snowy, or should we do it with only three singers?' I mean it’s easy to find someone to tour but he has to be the right guy, and like Snowy it’s very hard because he is special. So after a while we decided: 'Ok I’ll do it myself I’ll be the only male singer, we have to cut out the growl parts, the growl songs'... But then after, it was a lightning from heaven or from hell maybe, I got an email from Snowy saying that, 'Hi Thomas. How are you?', then he told me that he so regretted his mistake, and he said 'That’s life!' And I sent him back an email saying 'Hey come back, the door is open, we have still the tickets for you!'"
Q: Yeah, I read that you were more than happy to have him back with you.
A: "Oh yeah, we’re too old to be angry for things like that, this doesn’t help, so we are happy that he took that decision! (laughing) Now we’re back as it should be, the magic is back."
