Oh, for ffs. I just couldn't. After 2 minutes of listening to this pompous twit, who loves to hear himself talk, I had to shut it off.
All his interviews are over blown, diatribe.

I never knew anything about these guys. Liked some guitar work but I liked heavier music generally. Hearing his story is great. He seems like a very cool guy and he can tell a damn good story!

I'll always remember wait and children cry by that band but it's crazy he had been influenced a little by the new wave British metal in my mind some the best metal ever and it was incredibly heavy music maiden number of the beast priest screaming for vengeance what a fucking heavy album of course dio sabbath that was basically the blue print of the genre heaven and hell what an album one the best sabbath of all tines so much great shit from that genre

Just did a quick search on him. Something Ive began doing back around 2015. I refuse to listen to a word from anyone if they are in the group of people that tows that communist talking points. This Mr Trempenau is a solid dude . I can still listen to W.L & D.L. so many I refuse to listen to now, its sad but , none of us should be supporting bands and people who support the present regimes by either agreeing with them or staying silent .

In short….. Mike Tramp is a total sell-out and will do whatever he thinks will make him the most money.

This gives insight to why Lars talks the way he does, since he's Danish as well.
