“This last album that we put out [2016’s “For All Kings”], we had a song called ‘Breathing Lightining.’
“It’s probably the most radio-friendly song we ever had, but because of that ‘heavy metal stigma’ that is always attached to us, we don’t get a fair shake in radio.
“It definitely was eligible for that type of thing, because when that song was being added to radio, I saw all the other songs that were on the charts and I thought to myself, ‘Well, this one has more accessibility than a lot of these songs.’
“The reason why these bands that are on the charts with songs is only because they’ve had radio prior to that. So, I just think that this whole way the music business is run and structured – especially nowadays – is just completely wrong.”
I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
