• Best live show: Rush 2004 in Stuttgart
• How does working with an international act differ than working with band members all local? It's more focused since really everybody has to know his shit to make it work. It worked until now so it seems we're not that bad.

• Hopes for 2021: First of all it would be nice to have something like a 2021. Just in case it happens I would say shows, shows and maybe one or two more shows

• How does working with an international act differ than working with band members all local: I think it’s a great way to keep things fresh, and energetic. It’s always exciting to get together to rehearse, because it means we are touring, haha. It also helps a lot that everyone does their homework and shows up ready to go.
• Where do you see THEM’a direction going: Each album has a very unique sound and feel, but I think that as long as we maintain the balance and versatility of songs, we’ll keep bringing the heavy. Also, standard answer: darker, heavier, fastest, best record we’ve ever done
• Hopes for 2021: Hitting ‘them’ stages again!

With the next THEM Lyric/Performance Video nearing the horizon, we decided to tell you all a little bit about each member and post a snapshot taken directly from the video shoot.
