Blabbermouth post an interview with Gus G

Gus says:
I agree that it is the most compact and solid album we've done so far. Part of it has to do with the lineup staying the same. Now we have an identity and you can really hear that it's FIREWIND. The sound has evolved; you hear the same things working. In regard to the songwriting, maybe other people can tell me, but I don't know if we've really done something different. It's really hard to criticize your own music and really sit down and analyze it. I just felt like writing these songs and I did it. I worked together with my guys and they contributed, just like the last album. We just did it. The only major difference I can tell you about the new album, comparing it to "Allegiance", is that this is a much more guitar-oriented album compared to the last album. The last one we had more keyboards. Now there are less keyboards. And I like that because one of FIREWIND's qualities was always that it's a guitar driven band. It's cool that on some songs you've got more instrumental parts, more guitar work, and all that stuff.
