Christian Lindskog

We’re a rock band yes, but our lyrics and the personal way we try and relate to our audience is always in the forefront of our minds.

My wife sees that we're not pursuing the rock 'n' roll dream anymore, she sees that it's about something greater. That's what prepared her to make this sacrifice. We do bring our loved ones on tour whenever we can..

Of course it would be easier to be like any other rock band, but we can't play games - this is the most important thing, and it's why we're doing what we do

We were caught up in the same thing recording this album. Everyone was distracted and asking, 'Where are we going?' Working, working, working like crazy. It was almost like, 'Why are we doing this?' We got caught up in ourselves. But at the same time, we know we're not forgotten. There's an inner peace that Someone's taking care of us. That's what brings us out of the depression, the only thing that brings us out of the depression.
