Q&A:
What's the story behind the band name Tulus?
It's just something that I came up with.There's no special
meaning about it.
What are the lyrics about on the album?
The dark sides of life.
As well on this record we're back writing in norweigian again after doing the
last album in english.
Which song from the new album are you looking forward
to play live the most?
"Bitt" is one that we've already have played
live.And it's a great track for live shows.
Any guests on the album?
No guests.No time really for that.Since we're recording
all here from scratch in just 4 days.
How come you picked the Sonic Train Studios to record
the album?
We wanted to record the whole album in one place and for
a good price with good quality.
And to get away from home and focus on work.
Sweden and Sonic Train Studios was the perfect choice.As well as O
Another big reason is that our management is a friend of Andy's.
What are your favorite band?
Slayer
What's your all time favorite album?
Sverre: Deep Purple-In Rock
Stian:Rush-Moving Pictures
Thomas:Slayer-South Of Heaven
Any plans to record or play any covers?
We did record Slowly We Rot by Obituary for our best of album and we do play
it live as well.
For that album we also recorded David Bowie's Space Oddity.
What bands have you toured/played gigs with?
We haven't really toured,only done our own gigs from time
to time.
And what bands would you like to tour with?
Slayer,Sacramentum,Metallica
Any plans to come and play in Sweden?
No plans for that yet.No gigs booked so far.Just one festival
date in May so far.
We will wait till the album is released.And then we'll see if we can come here
to play?
What is the best moment in this band so far?
I think recording the first album with Tulus back in 96
is one of the biggest highlights along with the year 1999.
What are the plans for 2010?
We will be headlining
a small festival in Germany in May.
Get the album out around August and start doing some gigs in the fall of this
year.
