1. Did you have any ‘Spinal Tap’ moments this year?
It was our show in Moscow, RU and right after that there was gothic party in the same venue. Our drummer Khaoth was changing his clothes right on the stage as almost no light inside the venue and the people arriving on the sly. But in fact they didn't see what's happening on the stage. Right at the moment when Khaoth stayed in his pants on the stage suddenly the lights on together with the music and the crowd became laugh and cry something like: "Oh, yeah! Come on!".
2. What were some of your favorite releases from 2010?
This year I was mostly impressed by the works of TRYPTIKON, ENSLAVED, ANATHEMA, BURZUM, ALCEST, DRUDKH, BARREN EARTH
3. New Year’s resolution?
We have concert plans for upcomig year in general. Our new album which is out by the end of this year will require huge promotion as on ex-USSR territories as worldwide also. We hope we'll have luck on this direction.
4. Most memorable metal news item of 2010?
It's sad to talk about that but it goes for deaths of musicians. There was a lot of them. They will always remain in our hearts and will remind about themselves with their music.
5. Plans for the holidays?
Nothing special. Most likely I'll stay with my family and friends.
6. What’s on your ipod?
Right now as I answer these questions I'm listening to the new album of DEATHSPELL OMEGA. Also there in AMORPHIS "Magic & Mayhem", MOTORHEAD "The World Is Yours", SOLEFALD "Norron Livskust", SODOM "In War And Pieces".
7. If you could bring back one musician from the grave for a day, who and why?
I think it would be Randy Rhoads. Why? Just for shake his hand ad say thanks a lot for his music!
