MM - It’s been six years six your last release why the gap between?
Lenny - We started recording drums in 1999 and guitars in 2000. Because the studio was getting more busy we had to wait. But we never thought it would take 6 years - never!! 

MM - What have the individual members been up to in those six years?
Lenny - I (Lenny) work as a producer/engineer and have been very busy. Jonathan have other bands and have made 2or 3 albums during this time and also work as co-producer/engineer. Sudden has made 1 album and a lot of solos on different albums for different bands.  Mats has made 1 or 2 jazz albums.  Fredo works as a session drummer in different studios. 

MM - The new album Steel Attack is a definite winner in my book, but are the band happy with the finished product?
Lenny - Yeah – of course. It would bee stupid to release something after 6 years and think ... it´s ok.  No, we are happy rockers!!! 

MM - The keyboards are more influential on this album, a bit different from your debut, was this a natural progression for the band or did you want to try something new?
Lenny - We wanted to have a more atmospheric sound to our songs - so we spent a lot of time creating and adding sounds from keyboards. 

MM - Now that Steel Attack has finally seen the light of day is there another album in the pipeline or do we have to wait another six years?
Lenny - Another 6 years and I will be dead and gone!!  No, we want to promote this album first as good as we can and then we´ll see what will happen.

MM - Has the bands goals changed over the past six years or do you still want to be rich and famous?
Lenny - Don´t you?? (haha) No - the divas in us are long gone - we will be happy if the album sells ok and if we can make a video (no video was done on first album).

MM - What are the bands plans now the album is finally released and are there any plans to tour?
Lenny - Not right now. We are looking for a management to help us out - so we´ll see what will happen.  We are also discussing a video.

MM - What short phrase best describes the bands mood right now?
Lenny - Here we go again!!!! 

MM - Do you think the rock scene is starting to rejuvenate itself and take a more active face in the world of music that it did for much of the 90’s?
Lenny - Yeah I really think so!! A lot of talented young guys and girls who sing not only about love and desire but also bout more daily stuff!! 

MM - Finally are there any words of wisdom you’d like to share with all are readers?
Lenny - If you are supposed to play along - Play loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
