Review Fix: What’s your creative process like?

Turkki: I mostly jam riffs on my couch at home and when I get a perfect inspiration from some riff I start the demo recording process. I usually get the idea about how the drumbeat would go together with the guitar riff. Then I just layer up the song other instruments.

Review Fix: What bands do you draw the most inspiration from?

Turkki: It doesn’t matter if it is a Göteborg-metal or American country. Basically, I draw my influences from anything that sounds beautiful.
