    Love this band. I've been a fan since the Nightfall album, when I was 12 and seen that album artwork in my local music shop and only had enough money for two cds... I was young and new to metal. And it was the Nu-Metal days and Nightfall just opened my eyes. Album artwork really matters. The 2nd cd was Areyon Electric Castle.

      @@nataliaruiz3208 Great question! Having shot many hundreds of interviews over the years, I can't really think of a single one where we didn't discuss, even if briefly right before we start, what we are going to be asking/talking about with the subject. Most managers/agents of any personality or celebrity, big or small, will ask in advance what the interview is about, and sometimes even ask for a list of questions to be submitted in advance. It is entirely up to the interview subject what they want to share or talk about! Often people will say I don't want to talk about that, or I don't know, etc. and we move on to the next question, and cut that part out of the final interview and no one knows! Most artists and musicians prefer to focus on their body of work and keep their personal lives private for obvious reasons!
