5 Q&A With Fury of a Dying Planet
Can you talk about any specific themes or motifs that run throughout the album?
‘Fury of a Dying Planet’ is Eco Metal for those who are sick of how the human race treats the planet and all living creatures. But also, it is also a celebration of those who stand up for the planet and sacrifice their own comfort to fight for those who cannot.
Was there any challenge that you encountered while making 'Fury of a Dying Planet?'
The 3 biggest challenges were Time, Money and finding the right person to add vocals to the album.
Which song(s) from the album do you think best represents your artistic vision?
I feel quite strongly about all the songs, but in particular the 3 singles: “Bloodied Fjords” which is about the whales and dolphins slaughtered in the Faroe Islands, “Captive” which is about animal cruelty and finally “Repetition to Extinction” which is about humans going about their lives as if nothing is wrong even though most of what they do day to day is ruining the planet we call home.
What role do you feel emotions play in your music, and how do you channel them into your performances?
Anger and frustration is what drives a lot of my music, but I do actually try hard to not be blinded by this. I'd hate to just write an album filled with negativity which is why I wrote the closing track, Heroes of the Earth.
What are some of the biggest challenges you have faced as a musician, and how did you overcome them?
Really just time and money are what limit me in doing what I envision, so I have to just work with what I have and do the best I can.
