News.

 

"Just finished a great Primal Fear European tour and the new album charted in 9 countries, in Germany on Pos. 13 – never had this before. Then came an even more exciting Rock Meets Classic tour with Alice Cooper and some more absolute fantastic musicians. Now we’re right before the next part of the Primal Fear tour through North America, Japan & Singapore. In August we’re coming back to South America and a lot of friends. In September I play with Voodoo Circle the Progpower Festival in Atlanta, then another 11 shows with Primal Fear in the UK and some more shows in Europe, plus some more SINNER shows. A lot to do, but that’s not all – I’m writing and producing the second album of Michael Kiske and Amanda Somerville at the moment, with my partner Magnus Karlsson. I think the album will be out in October and then I’ve just finished a very special album together with Russell Allen for a release in January 2015."

Be on tour.

 

"I’m enjoying to be on tour. Good company, nice bus – let’s go. This year is a little tough with for me a record-breaking amount of shows, but that’s my job and no complaining. I need a good shower and a little space for me, then I’m good."

 

Blessing.

 

"Music is a big big part of my life and I’m enjoying music every day. I’m very thankful about my career and that I could play such great talents on my way. I’m in a position atm that I can decide by myself, which project I want to produce or write for and that’s fantastic, because these are exactly the artists I want to work with and their talent inspires me a lot.

Music was always a big big help in darker days and helped a lot of people to survive. Music is an explosion of creativity. I have the right to write lyrics to the whole world and tell people my feelings and view – this is a big challenge and gift."

 

First step?

 

"To be honest – No :) - I don’t like to live in the past. There are some great memories, but the future is more important than the past. I can’t change the past anyway………"

 

People or goal.

 

"I have some bad experiences exactly in this case like so many of my dear colleges. The only advise I can give - decide by yourself, don’t let other people decide for you. If you are responsible you can kick your own butt for your won decisions. This is more simple than to point on other people and complain."

 

Dreams?

 

"I don’t live in these categories. I’m working hard for next years Rock Meets Classic tour and there will be a new Voodoo Circle album. But the harder and more honest you’re working for your projects, the bigger are the chance of satisfaction."

 

Critics.

 

"I’m doing this for such a long time, was part of a very successful record company for a decade and as much as bad or lukewarm reviews made me angry in the past, the less they can hurt me now. The fans are deciding if music is great and successful, not people who are getting everything for free, a fan has to pay for!"

 

The most important ...

 

"Health, happiness, my family, my friends, my music!"

 

Last words.

 

"I hope to see you on our next shows and you will rock with Primal Fear! Thanks you for keeping the faith for all these years! Love & respect, Mat."
