Death metal has now become exclusively about being evil, Satanic and playing full speed ahead. It's not what I'm into at all.

When I first got involved in the underground metal scene in '82, '83, there were only about five or six major Death or Black Metal bands around. There were so many other bands that were inspirational, that really helped.
