For Those That Wish To Exist topped the UK album chart. Which songs really stand out for you?

Impermanence is the one I enjoy the most live. It has this slightly different and darker melodic element to it and I get to do some weird sinister-sounding lead stuff. There aren’t many solos on this album. I really like the big doomy riff that comes in during the middle-eight of Ordinary Extinction. It’s this big octave wall of guitars so it feels extra heavy. I actually do have a bit of a solo at the end, well, more like a lead. It’s quite Billy Howerdel-inspired, it has that A Perfect Circle kind of sound – especially with that chorusing effect we added in.
