1/ Please describe the new album in 3 words.
daring, extreme, powerful

2/ where would you like to travel? (concert, holidays)
egypt, japan, qatar, oman, UAEs, greece, france etc

3/We heard that you'll sing a song on the new album, do you dread singing alone on stage in front of the audience?
no idea, i haven't really tried :) but i guess things will work out

4/How was the transposition of your song "No Tomorrow" to "Keine Merkt Es"? Was it easy for you to finally let Frank sing it? Why this choice?
it wasn't really my choice, but we came to the conclusion that frank's voice would sound better on the song. and yea, writing a new text was really tough, since it was composed in english, but i think we did a great job and it works perfectly well.

5/In Frankfurt, you presented to us 3 new songs. How was it to go back on stage for the first time after such a long time in the studios?
It was funny :) We pracced alot, so the instrumentalists did a greally good job in my opinion, but still there were loads of mistakes, we're a bit rusty right now being in the studio all the time.

6/ Do you first see yourself as an artist/musician or do you also think about doing something else later? For example, if, for any reason, your musical carreer stopped, would you like to write novels, or something else?
I surely write novels, but well, it will take alot of time to finish one that I'm working on, and it might take even more time to find a publisher who is up for it... Music, acting and writing, that's all things that need a life-time dedication to really master it, and I'm really young.. :)

7/ If you had, to write a new song, to take inspiration in a novel, which one would you choose?
I did that once for a song, well let's say I tried. Lyrics, sung from the view of Ippolit, a character from Dostoevsky's 'The Idiot'.

8/ From which artist - or personality - would you like to receive compliments?
Hmm... Paul McCartney, Noel Gallagher, Richard Ashcroft and such

9/ Which song of another artist or band, would you had love to write?
Slow Motion by Third Eye Blind, the lyrics are really intense, really really great

10/ Do you think this long time without any "life signs" has an influence on your popularity in Germany? Do you dread the reaction of your fans all over europe, on the release of your new album?
Hm yea it definitely has an influence, since many people have been waiting so long... But as we all do this, we will come back with a big bang. I don't really need, nor want, popularity. As long as people like our music, we're all totally happy.

11/ What are funniest/worse presents you ever received from fans?
Hm, a penis-ring was quite funny. :) I can't remember the 'worst', I don't think that I got something bad in particular... Maybe all the condoms.. :)

12/ Do you have any rituel before going on stage, just to avoid stress?
Not really.

13/ What would you do if you suddenly learn that you only have one last day to live?
Having sex with Megan Fox
- (Megan Fox)

14/ Actually, which songs are on repeat in your Ipod?
I don't have an iPod But right now I listen to older stuff on my mp3-player, hm like led zeppelin, buddy holly, bobby darin. inbetween I dig Incubus, one of my alltime favorites

15/ Did you received our presents, and did you like them?
Yea, I always love books, so you can never really go wrong with them, thanks alot. :) Camus and Sartre, tough stuff :)
