> 1.you have put SINNER aside for a while because you were busy with PF, why
> the comeback and why now?

For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me. And what I dreaded has happened  to me, I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes - I really don't know why now, maybe it's the right time and the ascendents where in  the right place.

> 2.Each Sinner album is like a magical journey- what will this one bring
> new??


Lord, if there is a Lord, save my soul, if I have a soul - it will be an album between R & B & Metal - something new and something different, but still metal between metallica, thin lizzy, sinner, stevie wonder and marvin gaye. This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and yet no sign shall be given to it.

> 3.who are the other 2 members of the "surprise line-up"?

The cruelest lies are often told in silence, it can shock or not - but this will be our own secret till we start! And now there is merely silence, silence, silence, saying all we do not know!

> 4.Did your past 2 years that you dedicated mostly to PF affect your way of
> writing for SINNER?


oh no, I always write in a different way, even if a panned Sinner tune is now on the new PF album or so, but a man's past is not simply a dead history...it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavours and the tinglings of a merited shame.

> 5.Do you plan some touring with SINNER?

of course we will play live - maybe sooner as many of the people think, it's like paranoia  and paranoia is just a kind of awareness, and awareness is just another form of love. I am responsible for everything...except my very responsibility!

>
> 6.Each Sinner album in the past 10 years was mnore or less kind of a concept
> album, what is the concept behind this one????


I remember the very thing that I do not wish to; I cannot forget the things I wish to forget and there will be such intense darkness that you can feel it. The album is about to find yourself talking with the dead? Since death, I catch myself every day, involuntarily talking to the dead, as if thesy're still were with me! The new recordings will bring a  definitive change. It will never be the same again. Appearing in our skies it is believed to be a prophecy of extraordinary events. The birth of kings... The death of empires. Perhaps smothered by its own dust, the dark, soulless body continues eternally through space and time. It may disintegrate and crumble into inconsequential rubble. Or it may be lost forever; crashing burning... into the yellow sun. And tonight...as I look into the sky, and it looks back on me... I want to know... which I am?I need to know... is this the beginning of the journey... Or the end


> 7.Are you looking forward to playing and writing with Tom again?????

oh yes indeed - nobody does the strut better than Tom - we spend too long in rocking together, than to stop conversating now and I will give him the great day of his wrath is come. Our visible world seems formed in love, the invisible spheres were formed in fright, but we're far from safety, shall be crushed at the gate without a rescuer!
