Ghost Brigade’d rather let the music do the talking, just like Veli-Matti Suihkonen, the band’s quite nice drummer, who confesses, embarrassed, not feeling too comfortable when interviewed. No hidden message behind Ghost Brigade’s musical sadness: “it’s very difficult to write happy riffs that sound good! [laughs] I don’t know how to do that.” So when Veli-Matti tells us how natural the band’s writing process is, we totally believe him. He’s also a very humble character, confessing his weaknesses all along the interview, particularly regarding the technical level needed to play in a metal band.

On paper, there isn’t that much pure informations in this interview, and yet it teaches a lot about these musicians’ state of mind, notably in all these innocent “I don’t know” and “maybe” that involuntarily but salutarily taunt us, fans and journalists, who keep on interpreting too much – or deconstructing cheeseburgers, like Devin Townsend’d put it.
