“CHIMAIRA’S THE IMPOSSIBILITY Of Reason is one of my favourite albums. It’s so good from start to finish, but Down Again is probably my favourite song. I’m a big fan of the piano melody and the clean chorus – it’s just a proper metal anthem.
“TRIVIUM were massively influential in making me want to be in a band, so having Matt Heafy jump on our new album [on the song Salvation] was amazing – if you told me that when I was a teenager I would’ve been bouncing off the fucking walls. Ascendancy was one of the first properly heavy albums I got -Ithink my mum bought it for me. I don’t know what it is but every time I listen to Drowned And Torn Asunder I just envisage a circle-pit on that second riff.
