| with Linus on Jan 01, 2007 |

| Could you introduce yourself and the band? I’m Linus Nirbrant, guitar player in the band. This Ending existed in a previous incarnation as A Canorous Quintet which was formed in 1991. The band released an EP, As Tears, 1994 and two full length albums: Silence Of The World Beyond in 1996 and The Only Pure Hate in 1998. We wanted to do something together again so This Ending started in 2005; we recorded a demo, wrote a bunch of songs and got our deal. And now our debut album Inside The Machine is out!!! | |||
| Can you describe the kind of music that you play? Death metal I guess. We all come from the death metal scene but I don’t really care what label anyone puts on our music, it’s up to the listener. | |||
| What are your expectations of the album? I really hope that many people who are into extreme music will enjoy this album, because we’ve been working really hard on this one. I would also like to go on tour and do some festival gigs. Then I look forward to record a new album. | |||
| Can you describe the creative process of making this album? (How are the songs written, arranged, produced, the lyrics... who does what in the band?) We all (except Mårten) write tons of riffs, I collect them and arrange them into songs. Then Mårten and I listen to the song and decide which lyrics fit best with the song. Mårten and Leo write almost all lyrics.

| What does the artwork show/should it express? Leo did the artwork. And we came up with the idea when we decided that we would call the album “Inside the machine”. You can interpret the cover in different ways. | |||
| If you had 100.000 euro to spare for the band, where would you spend it on? We would probably do a video, buy some new equipment, maybe a tour and keep some money for ourselves for all the hard work. | |||
| Is there a chance that you can go on a tour, because of the busy schedule Amon Amarth has got at this moment? Yes, we’re planning to do at least one European tour for this album. Amon are back in January from their tour so I hope we’ll do one in spring ‘07. If Fred is busy with Amon when we have a tour planned we’ll solve that then. We won’t cancel the tour anyway. | |||
| What’s your favourite album at this moment? For the moment it’s Lamb Of God’s Sacrament. | |||
| Did you ever visit www.rockezine.com? If yes, what is the best part of the site and what’s the worst part of it? No, I’ve never visited rockzine.com before. But I will take a look right now! | |||
| Thanks for answering my questions and what are your final last words? Many thanks for your support! Hope I’ll see you on tour... | |||
