SOURCEWEBZINE – Where do you think “Urd” stands in terms of your past releases? Jens F. Ryland (Guitar) – “Urd” has turned out great I think, it’s a step up both in songswriting, production, recording and mixing. A progression for the band, just as we like it.   SOURCEWEBZINE – How has the response been on “Urd” and what kind of expectations do you have for it? Jens F. Ryland (G) – Coming out of the studio with the master it was sort of overwhelming I have to admit, I had a feeling we had done something good here, but  [ Read More ]

SOURCEWEBZINE – It has been about three years since your last album, which is a little longer than usual. Any particular reason for that? Crafter(Vocals) – Nah not really to be honest I think the last CD came out around end of 2009 and this one came out 2011 in Australia. But obviously was released in 2012 in Europe. So it didn’t really take 3 years. We only spent about a year touring the “Cancer” CD.   SOURCEWEBZINE – Your new effort “The Long Way Home” is about to hit the stores. How does it differ from the other album  [ Read More ]

SOURCEWEBZINE – First of all congratulations on the new album called “First Perception”. You took a long time recording it. How did it go? Martin Fischer (Guitar/Vocals) – Yeah, the recordings took us quite some time, because apart from the drums we did the recordings at home and with no clear deadline in mind it got a little out of control. Drum recordings, mix and master were done at Woodshed Studios in Landau/Germany by Victor Bullok, who did a very good job for us.   SOURCEWEBZINE – Have you read any reviews of the album, what does the media think  [ Read More ]

SOURCEWEBZINE – Please introduce your new album “Elite”, and compare it to your back catalogue?

SOURCEWEBZINE – For those who aren’t familiar with where your band’s name came from can you explain it? Espen Geitsund (Guitar) – The name Ninth Circle is taken from Italian 14th century poet Dante and his work Inferno. It’s a story about his journey through hell, where each circle of hell represents different sins. In the ninth and final circle Lucifer himself resides. We got the idea for the name after watching the film Seven that revolves around the seven deadly sins. We though it was a cool name for a metal band.   SOURCEWEBZINE – “Judecca” was just released.  [ Read More ]

SOURCEWEBZINE – Another album, another tour… What’s different this time? Mem Von Stein (Vocal) – Well, the biggest difference is that we haven’t released an album since 1987. That in itself is a quite a difference but I think we have all evolved as musicians and human beings and that is evident I the music and our attitude towards the fans and the industry.   SOURCEWEBZINE – What has changed in the band since the first album “Possessed by Fire” and what has changed on the scene?
