Interview with Mikael
Touring wise, what have you been up to this year, and can you give us a couple of personal highlights from your time on the road? Highlights would have been a show we did in the city of Sibiu, Romania. It was fun. Right in the middle of the old town square in front of a lot of people. We played well too.
So, when did the initial vision for 'In Cauda Venenum' come about? Was there a particular song or moment that sparked the creative process? The first song is a track called ‘Universal Truth’. That’s the first one I wrote. It’s a rather elaborate piece of music and it set the tone for the rest of the album, I guess. The record is strange, but lovely and exciting I think.
How did you get to the album title 'In Cauda Venenum', and what does it mean to you? I found it online, that saying. I liked it. It looked cool and I could connect it to the album, the band and the artwork which is always nice. It means ”The poison is in the tail” referring to a nasty or unwanted surprise in the end of something.
