Jarkko: "Well, if the lyrics include lines like "drinking is good for you" I´d say that it´s nowhere even near Demon Alcohol. That is a sort of a tribute to that nice, clear alcohol that removes fears and makes everyone look beautiful. As the Russians say: "There are no ugly women, just not enough vodka."

Wyrd from Finland have gained quite a reputation in the nordic pagan/black metal scene, being active since 1998 and releasing tons of excellent music. To discuss their latest album "Kalivägi" and some other topics, a local UG-raider Priit "Pagansorts" Salusoo contacted the band´s mental leader Tomi "Narqath" Kalliola. Here are the results of this!

When I heard that the new album of Amorphis is going to be titled as "Skyforger", I was curious, especially considering that the latvian folk metal band Skyforger had performed in Estonia short time before that. As the album is going to be released in the end of May already, I figured out that it would be great to ask the guys themselves about the title and other important stuff. This interview is done via e-mail with none other than the guitarist Tomi Koivusaari, one of the founding members of the band. Enjoy!
