What an unnerving face, but such a kind voice
Very interesting interview. I liked his honesty about the metal stigma getting in the way of his day job and the details about making/"destroying" his mask. Also, good question about the role of gold in the band.
I agree with his stance as anti-people-telling-other-people-what-to-do. Basically anti-oppression, and not necessarily anti-religion.
Good job reviving the song-by-song descriptions straight from the mind of the creator! (Nice Monty Python reference — I got it

— and nice pun with "I don't want to speak for him - but you ARE HIM!"

)
Also, interesting opinion on metal and pop: "it's harder to come up with a good pun song than a good riff". I'm not sure I agree, but it's an interesting take.
Thanks for the entertaining interview!
