Greece's Rockpages conducted an exclusive interview with Triumph bassist/keyboardist//vocalist Mike Levine in the wake of the 30th anniversary of their album, Thunder Seven. Levine didn't rule out the possibility of doing another Triumph album in the future. The following is an excerpt:

 

 

Q: You did a reunion show in Sweden and another one in the States back in 2008. Is there any chance of you doing a full tour and why not record one last album?

Mike Levine: "We sit down every couple of months, Gil (Moore, drums/vocals), Rik (Emmett, guitar/vocals) and I… and always talking about the possibility of doing something again. When we did those shows in 2008, everything went so well that we decided to do a full tour. We had booking agents and managers working around the clock to arrange a tour in North America and just when we were ready to begin rehearsals, the recession hit so hard that we all got nervous about the economy and whether anyone could be successful on the road under these circumstances. So, we said: 'well, let’s just wait and see how the things will turn out in the coming months and then decide what we will do'.

Later on, we just kinda lost our enthusiasm and… well, here we are after six years. I am not saying that we are not going to tour ever but it’s highly unlikely. As far as recording… I am asking myself: 'Does anybody really wanna hear something new from us?'…I don’t know. One thing is certain. If we decide to record once again, it would have to be a bunch of excellent songs… nothing less. We haven’t reached that point yet but as our song goes… Never Say Never."
