Aina Quotes

Hans van Vuuren called me and asked me if I was interested in �doing� a metal opera, and who am I to say no to such a great opportunity. I really had no second thoughts about this project, I liked the idea from the start, but I immediately decided that it was impossible to do this on my own. So I asked Robert (Hunecke-Rizzo) and Miro to join me and they said yes. Hans also asked me to write some songs for Aina, but that was too much for me, I was so busy. But in the end I finally got one song for the album, namely �The Beast Within�. I asked Amanda Sommerville to do the lyrics and to come up with the story and well the result is amazing.

I was truly surprised about all the excellent reviews the album got. There was only one bad review; someone on the Internet was complaining about the Aina language, there were far too many A�s and E�s in the language. Therefore you could not listen to it properly, and actually this �critic� did not listen to the album to come to the astonishing conclusion that this was a bad album???? 
So, the actual feedback was amazing.

I really am not into power metal and that sort of music; do not get me wrong, I like it, but I prefer classical hard rock like Aerosmith or Van Halen.
