Matthias Trautes (The Spirit)

We discuss the shift in songwriting on the new album Songs Against Humanity, why it’s best experienced in full, and its concept around themes of ideology and control. Matthias discusses new musical techniques, the band's consistent release schedule, and how recent tours shaped the record. We also touch on The Spirit's switch from Nuclear Blast to AOP Records, the role of Spotify, and thoughts on AI. Plus, insights on The Chronicles of Filth. https://thespiritmetal.bandcamp.com/
