Until Death Overtakes Me Quotes

"My first answer would be something along the lines of: 'I write music and record music to get rid of the negativity inside myself, it's a way of transfering this negativity into something that's positive, something that makes me forget about reality, that creates another world'. But I guess there's much more to it that even i haven't yet discovered.

"At the moment I start writing a certain track or start working on an idea or concept, I usually know for which project this is, although on several occasions I have tracks that might fit in more than one project. When I start a completely new concept it's mostly not immediately clear for which project(s) it's ment. When the concept evolves I see which direction it takes or might take and start either dividing it in parts for the different projects (when I want to try out several different approaches of putting this concept into music) or simply decide on which project I'll use (and thus, which musical approach) to create the music and atmosphere for this concept. This decision depends partially on the kind of concept (roughly: hatefull material for 'The Ethereal', utter sadness for 'Until Death Overtakes Me', more undefined stuff might end up on a 'Beyond Black Void' or 'Fall Of The Grey-Winged One' album, etc.), but also on my mood at the moment when the concept evolves to it's near-completed stadium, this can entirely change the atmosphere and also the music and the project."
