Now you all are in studio, where you record new album. What we can expect from this album?

Nicklas: The album is being recorded here and there. Whenever we have the time... We´re all doing regular jobs too, so it´s a real hazzle from time to time. What to expect? Well, I guess you can expect to hear a more mature CG than the one your used to. Time goes by, people change... Music changes as well.

Is there any special studio story you remember?

N: Nothing exceptional. Every second in the studio is special and a privilege. Guess the funniest thing was when we had to drive our producer/mixer TT.Oksala to the bar "O´Malleys" after EVERY session, hahaha!

When you will release new album, single?

N: The new single is waiting to be delivered as we speak. It´s been recorded by Tero Kinnunen and mixed by Mikko Karmila. It will be available for Download this month! The name of the single is "Gates Of Loneliness". We´ll let you know about the album on our site a.s.a.p.

You created song "Forever" with Monday, can we expect any similar work, with performances guests, or maybe just a once song on your new album album?

N: Now that you mention it... Yes. No further comments ;-)

You' performed few shows outside of Finland, for example in Romania, Japan? Is there still any place you really would like to play?

N: Germany has always been a place I would like to experience. And Italy, of course. And, and and... The list is endless.

Soon you will have few gigs in Germany. Are you planning other gigs outside Finland ?

N: Not at the moment no. At this time all our energy is focused on Germany.

What's the craziest moment you?ve experienced or seen when playing live?

N: HA! Maybe the time one of my ex-girlfriends came to our show in Tavastia to the front of the stage drunk as a skunk. She was dancing around like a crazy person and started cursing at me. That was pretty crazy, haha.

Which one of Carmen Gray songs are you singing/playing favourite and why?

N: At the moment it´s a new one, that will be on the album for sure. And I LOVE "My Sweet Desire".

On your few songs you are singing about rain. What kind of weather do you like? Do you like rainy days?

N: I like the rain sometimes, yeah. But mostly it SUCKS... I love the sun, don´t we all?

Can you tell us a little bit about each member of Carmen Gray? Any secrets?

N: We don´t have any secrets... (that we tell others)

What are you doing in your free time, if you don?t need think about recording, music, gigs...?

N: Working my ass off. Spending as much time as possible with my loved ones.

Nicklas, I know you love play Mafia Wars. Do you have any other addictions?

N: Rock n`Roll ;-)

Who are your idols? For yourself and the band?

N: Too many to mention. Axl was the first idol that really inspired me in the beginning. Everyone in the band has different idols, so we get a good mixture when we play... Sometimes it´s complete and utter shit, but most of the time it works.

Are you afraid of something?

N: Snakes.

Without what you can't imagine your life?

N: My wife.

Your favourite drink?

N: Orange juice.

Do you remember any embarassing mistake, which happend to you?

N: I don´t make mistakes.. hahaha.

What are your plans for the near future now??

N: Getting the album together and to promote it as well as we can. We´re doing it ourselves, now that we aren´t signed anymore. Let´s put it this way, atleast we can´t do a much worser job than the people in charge for the last two albums did. No offence.

I wish you a Gray-t summer and hope to see you all in front of the CG stage getting CRAZY soon! Keep Rocki´n!
