The first 'Charlemagne' album is metal, of course, but what I sang was more symphonic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a fan of many different styles of classical and symphonic music.
It is, we wanted to make a record that reflected our love of Hard-Rock music and it is sort of Metal though we don't really describe ourselves as Metal.
That was my first love growing up - classical orchestral music, especially Impressionism.
I was a fan of heavy music - first metal, then punk, then hip hop.
I think the theme of the album probably was just that it was our first record.
I had deeper, more reflective songs on the first album.
I love Wagner, but the music I prefer is that of a cat hung up by its tail outside a window and trying to stick to the panes of glass with its claws.
The first album is a classic record and I think the prototype of a sound that no one else does.
There is one live track on the album, 'Einsamaller,' and that had a conductor - Eyvind Kang.
The orchestral or symphonic music never interested me.
