Читаем новое интервью Джонатана. Правда оно на английском, но текст не сложный — так что все должны понять. Кто хочет — может перевести, и я его обязательно опубликую со всеми почестями). Читаем:
«We’ve got that spark in us again,» frontman Jonathan Davis says. «This is a really aggressive record. More edgy. The last record we were experimenting. This album is back down to the basics and heavy grooves and getting people pumped. You’ll have a lot of screaming on this one.»
Davis continues, «I don’t scream just for the sake of screaming. When we sit down to write, we just write whatever comes out. I was going through some rough times. It’s basically about relationships and fuckin’ hate.»
Before setting off on this summer’s Ozzfest tour, the band recorded ten songs for the set at Davis’ house in Southern California, including «Right Now.» Says Davis, «That’s a song about waking up and wanting to kill everybody.»
The band, working without a producer for the first time, will return to the studio to record two or three more. «It was time for us to do our own [record],» Davis says. «It’s been really great, really kicked back. It’s not like being in the sterile environment of a regular studio. We can kick back, jump in my swimming pool, whatever we want to do.»
Some of the new songs came from a bus trip Davis took across the country to find inspiration. «I can’t do anything at home,» he says. «I need to get away, get out. I went from L.A. to Phoenix, to South Padre Island, then New Orleans for a couple of days. When I was in New Orleans, I sang the words to ‘Did My Time,’ and I had to change some, so I went into a studio there. Then I went to Panama City and went hunting in Florida and then headed back through Nashville with different stops along the way.»
«There’s a song called ‘Everything I Know,'» Davis continues, «that’s about when you’re fighting with your girl, and how when you’ve been together for so long, things can just get shitty . . . And then there’s ones about people I just cannot stand and want to kill. I have a real problem with people». Finished Jon
