…on’t necessarily have to be able to play all the instruments myself. I can come up and compose a more difficult bit than I can personally play – because I have (keyboardist) Henrik (Klingenberg) in the band, I can have more orchestration. At the same time, back in the day we used to work as a band more. As a songwriter, I would come together with parts, and we would work on it as a band. It was fun to let them have a smoke, work out other parts, a…

There is not a million Euros when you are only selling thousands of albums, the income for the band is almost nothing. You need to organize tours, festivals, video clips, and the recordings. Logistic and financial strategy is something that I learned from other people in the industry. Actually, from m…

Comparable to the colossally thunderous riffs of Evoken, the weighty atmosphere of Krypts, and the dissonant bleakness of acts such as Abyssal and Ataraxie, they’ve concocted a varied yet balanced brew of influences to portray their wares.

Yes, we started jamming the first bits of what would become the new material in 2018, since Come the Tide was ready to be released and it would take us another year until the album saw the light of day.

…the collaboration with Annisokay on “H.A.T.E.” I think it’s a really cool combination compared to having just one person guest on a song. Golinski: It’s totally different than what you normally see, and that was the point. We wanted to bring both styles of both bands together in one song. We wanted to take the brutalness of Any Given Day and the quieter parts of a chorus from Annisokay, and we think it fit perfectly as it came out. People seem to…

Absolutely not, but not as if there isn’t enough on offer, but this album is so wonderfully devastating that one can’t help but thirst for more. Certainly not a negative attribute to have. Resin Tomb has unfurled a snarling wild animal of a debut, of which we’ll be blasting for quite some…
