Enforcer
TM - Hi, this is Amelia and Elizabeth from Twinmusix and we are here with Olof from Enforcer thank you for having this interview with us today we appreciate it.
OF - Thank you.
TM - You are coming to Australia what can fans expect?
OF - We are a heavy metal band of Our Generation so I think if you want to go and see a heavy metal show and were born 40 years too late this is your chance.
TM - What can fans expect from your setlist?
OF - That is hard to tell at this time but we have an entire Arsenal of songs from our entire discography. We haven't really decided yet but we are celebrating 20 years next year, so I think we might dig out some older songs we haven't played in a while and mixed them with some new songs. Hopefully you hear a bit of everything.
TM - What's your favourite song to play live?
OF - The songs that create a better reaction with the audience are the songs I like more. It is about connecting with the audience every night. It is not as much about the music, it is about seeing people's faces and seeing that they enjoy it. I like seeing the energy in the room, that's what matters I think.
TM - Do you have a favorite moment with your fans?
OF - I like playing in front of passionate audiences. It seems to be the more sun a country gets the more passionate people are about music. I don't know if there is a connection there but it makes me really excited for Australia.
TM - Is there any tourist attractions you want to see in Australia?
OF - I am really excited to get to Australia for this summer because it is a pretty grim winter here. I have been to Australia without the band and I have seen a lot of stuff but I would love to go and swim in the ocean and maybe see a great white.
TM - Are you working on any new music?
OF - It's harder to make new music these days from when you were in school and you could just go to the rehearsal studio and your mom would make you food. It is a bit more complicated these days to make time to make a proper album. It is a bit more time consuming writing and recording music and we are a global band. Two people are from Sweden and two people are from the US and to make everybody's schedule fit is a challenge.
TM - If you could have any band play one of your songs what band would it be, what song would it be and would it be in your style or their style?
OF - It is hard, I don't really admire any musicians of today but maybe to have Boston cover one of our songs in 1978, that would be something. Maybe having someone like Billie Eilish covering one of our songs would be great.
TM - What was your first band you saw live?
OF - The first band I saw was when I was weeks old but the first big rock show I went to was Slayer when I was 15 and that was pretty life-changing.
TM - Did Slayer influence you to play music?
OF - Absolutely, I am a huge Slayer fan till this day.
TM - Is there anything else you want to say to your fans?
OF - I would like everyone in Australia to come out to our shows.
TM - We hope everyone comes to your shows, you are an awesome band. Thank You for having this interview with us today we appreciate it.
OF - Thank you.
