Anyone
who's read WHEN BITTER SPRING SLEEPS lyrics, should hopefully know by
now that I like to build the songs with a story. On COVEN OF THE WOLVES,
I wrote about a vengeful half-wolf sorcerer who bred thousands of
wolves to take back the wild lands. Also, about a farmer in a distant
future, telling his sons his version of how previous men burned out the world. On SPIRIT IN FLAMES most of songs
leaned even more towards the mythical to continue the story of the
wolves let loose upon the modern world. Their mother, a wolf-spirit in
flames, transforms the modern world into a new vast forest.

| Yes, I write it all down lyrically, and musically. |
The
concept for STAR-STROWN is much less specific, but all the tracks will
share my belief that nature does not end at the Earth's horizon. She is
merely a part of the universe and all natural matter was previously part
of dying stars. And all of this will someday be destroyed, transformed,
and reformed into new matter. When the mighty Earth is consumed by our
dying sun, everything will be thrown to the universe on a possible path
to rebirth as new lifeforms or merely inanimate matter.
