Then we decided to make another album or we would go insane. If the virus was gone in a few months, then maybe we have a couple of songs for the next album, but then when things went on and dragged out, we realized we could not do it, no touring at all. I wrote at myself and I went to Sweden to write with Chris (Rörland – guitarist – Vera) and we would see what happened.

Since he had his hands full of book and rebooking tours anyway, we agreed as follows: you make sure that the live shows will happen, while I go into song-writing mode. Obviously since Pär’s job is more on the management side, even though we work on the concepts of an album together and we are writing lyrics together, he is not very much involved in the music production or writing. We started doing some of that and then all of a sudden we realized that we didn’t know how long it was going to last. In the beginning everything was so new, so we decided to do things from which we had said: ‘we will do that later when we have time’. We went home from touring in Russia in mid March 2020 I think it was. I know we played some cities in North America where we didn’t play before, but new countries on ‘The Great War tour’ I don’t remember, to be honest.ĭid you start the writing process for this new album earlier, due to the covid-19 situation and no tours? Maybe that’s because I normally measure time by how many tours for an album we have done (laughs).

It messes everything up with memory and time, how much time has passed. It is weird, this fucking covid-19 shit, it feels like it is so long ago, but it feels like it was also yesterday that it came, if you know what I mean. Have you been in places you had never been before on those trips? Right after that you started a world tour. In July 2019 the former album came out, called ‘The Great War’. Same in Sweden, but they don’t care about the mask in Sweden (laughs). All you do is put on a mask when you go indoors, otherwise everything is normal. They closed schools and everything, but here it is basically like normal. It was a bit scary in Norway in the beginning, but that was before we knew anything about the virus.

Yes, Scandinavia had not that much brutal lockdowns. How are you doing these days? Is everything alright over there?
