I like musicals a lot. I think probably 'Jesus Christ Superstar' is my favorite. I love Andrew Lloyd Webber for the most part. It's rare that I'll find a musical that I don't like.
-
I'm always, always really health conscious - even more so on tour.
-
I've seen a couple of singer switches happen right before my eyes, one being Roy Khan to Tommy Karevik in Kamelot, and the other was Anette Olzon to Floor Jansen in Nightwish. Those happened with me present, and I saw how well the fans took to these singers because they were presented in the proper way.
-
I never took lessons. And I never aspired to be a singer until I was one in a band.
-
I feel just as much a part of 'War Eternal' as I do 'Will to Power.'
-
I think one of the things that makes Arch Enemy so unique is that we're five musicians who are all super self-critical but also super-driven.
-
It's totally natural to me to be vegan.

Anywhere we go in the States, people know we're from out of town: like, we stick out like sore thumbs. People are like, 'Freaks! Go cut your hair!' and whatever. It's a little weird.
-
That's the thing: when I'm on stage, I don't care; there could be ten people there, there could be ten million people there. But if I'm offstage, I'm, like, counting the people. I know exactly where everyone's standing, how far they are from me.

My parents, along with my brother and sister, are vegetarians.

I had my first band. it was kind of a progressive metal band kind of thing. I just started writing songs that required more and more challenging vocals, and I just did them. Necessity is the mother of invention, right? So I just sort of did what I had to do to make the songs sound the way I wanted them to.
-
I love 'hearing a person's face' in their music. I've been told by fans that they can tell when I'm smiling or feeling mischievous in my voice – that's a huge compliment.
-
Is it hard to be vegan? Absolutely not. It would be hard to not be vegan.
-
I never had this idea, 'I wanna be a solo artist.'
-
I have read and heard so many stories from people all around the world describing how they've found their own reason to believe through Arch Enemy, and that genuinely inspires me and keeps me going.
-
I feel very fortunate to be in a position to where I can continue to make music and have people appreciate it.
-
It's pretty clear I am a diehard Chris Cornell fan, so his voice, musicianship, and lyrics have touched me across many different projects.
-
The most common time I write lyrics is the middle of the night.
-
I love doing clean singing, which is one of the main things that drives me back to Kamelot all the time.
-
In general, people that we meet in person are pretty cool people - always very respectful, just happy to be there, happy to enjoy the music.
-
I'm really excited to be a part of the 'Fallen Heroes' EP.
-
'Wages Of Sin' was the first metal album I ever bought, and it was love at first listen.
-
We don't follow trends; I don't think we even set trends. We just do our own thing. We just do what we love. That's why Arch Enemy sounds like that.

Adrenaline really numbs out all pain.
