We didn't say, "Let's make it more death metal,"; we were just incorporating different styles while doing it just happened. It happened more on "Mentally Murdered", really; it's where it all started.

I remember I felt a profound rush of satisfaction when the music for The Olden Domain started to come together in terms of writing, producing, and, even more so, when the album was finished. Finally, I felt that all the pieces of the puzzle came together in a...

"Slaughtercult" took shape throughout 1999, and was a combination of a lot of stuff. Two of the major factors were Fleshredding fret-rapist Mike Beams being with the band for the whole conception of the album. When he joined the band in 1998, "Gore Metal" was already written, and...

I think there has been a lot more involvement and input from all the members of the band this time around. Not that it wasn't like that before, but while making this album the guys in the band did a lot more writing. I also think we have...
