LION'S SHARE Mainman Talks About Emotional Coma

Lucem Fero has issued an interview with LION'S SHARE mainman Lars Chriss, conducted by Welsh interviewer Anthony Morgan. The following is an excerpt:

Q: How did Emotional Coma come about?

A: "After our fourth album Entrance (2001), I needed a break. I had been touring album after album for eight years, so I definitely needed to do something else and recharge the batteries in the meantime. It ended up being a six year break. Of course, during this period I gained a new lineup. I did some other things like guest performances and so on, but it was around 2003 when our new singer Patrik Johansson joined the band. A year later Sampo joined, so I would say from at least 2004 we worked pretty hard by writing songs for demos and so on. It's been a difficult gap between releases, though we actually had the luxury to be able to take our time making it. We were on a break anyway, so it didn't matter of course. We're very happy with what we worked for. We found a logo, and came up with a cover that has a mascot on it; it's like Iron Maiden's Eddie, or the covers of Iced Earth. So here we are today, and we're real happy with our new label AFM Records. Everything sounds great."

Q: In what respects does Emotional Coma have diversity from a musical perspective?

A: "I've tried to take that away. In the past I think they were possibly too diverse as I said, so this is more focused on my Heavy Metal influences. We wanted diversity though, so we started from Doom'ish, heavy type material that resembled Black Sabbath to material that possibly sounded like the Painkiller release. We then have some more modern tracks like the song "Trafficking". It has some Rammstein; obviously not vocally speaking, but more in terms of the energy and the rhythm. I think we want some of these modern influences mixed with the traditional influences like Black Sabbath and Painkiller. We tried to stay within that, and we wanted that to be the Lion's Share sound. In the past I think I have always been like that, and we always try to write catchy type songs coupled with an attitude. The old fans seem to like the new album, and the new fans that have discovered Lion's Share with Emotional Coma seem to like the old albums. I think we have a traditional Lion's Share sound that's trying to evolve. Apparently people appreciate a lot of our material, so maybe it's a sign of the times. Right now, people are getting into this style again and there's also the fact that these groups are getting bigger than they've been in a couple of years. Bands like Iced Earth are doing well, so maybe it's a sign of the times as I just said. As I view it, it's more countries like Germany, Finland and Holland that used to be into this. For some reason the UK lost track, but from what I've heard it's coming back today and I really hope so. It's the country that invented this kind of musical playing, and it's getting more popular again. I think it's selling more than it ever did; from what I understand, Heaven and Hell did well."
