As far as specific bands from the 90s death metal era, I love Death, Carcass, Possessed, Morbid Angel, Gorguts, Autopsy, Atheist, etc.

I stayed a kid for a pretty long time, and the logistics of being in a band, I did not take seriously at all.

You can go to any small town in America, there's going to be a metal fan there. You can't say that about post-rock.

My kids don't really like when I sing for some reason...but they like when I play guitar. So I started writing songs just playing guitar for them.

Now since I've gotten back into it, I've been listening to a lot more of the 1990s death metal type stuff.

We aren't trying to make poetry or anything beautiful. It's just a rock show. We just want to enjoy playing loud. That's just about it.

In my entire life I never set out to do anything ground-breaking or pioneering, and I'm not going to start anytime soon.

There are so many things that kept forcing metal back down to the underground. It survives everywhere on the planet.

Punk came along and grunge made guitar solos uncool.

We just have to plan everything in advance and concentrate it so that we get everything done in time. It's not as laidback as I wish it could be.

I listen to every type of metal under the sun. I'm not very discerning.

The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live-moreover, the only one.

I chose America as my home because I value freedom and democracy, civil liberties and an open society.

In adamantine chains shall Death be bound, And Hell's grim tyrant feel th' eternal wound.

I'm still hungry. I've still got a million ideas. I'm still strong and ready to create.

I think the love-hate is fundamental. Everyone hates reality television, and everyone's watching it. Everyone hates Facebook, and everyone is on it.

I have a terrible memory.

In Spain, we should have enough intelligence, enough sense of individual and collective responsibility to do for ourselves that which would be imposed upon us by a dictatorship.

It used to be said that when the U.S. sneezed, the world caught a cold. The opposite is equally true today.

The world is waiting for you. Good luck. Travel safe. Go!

A great challenge: stop ruining the garden which God has entrusted to us so that all may enjoy it.
