"When we stared the band in early ’87, there were a lot of band with so-called gore lyrics, but they were just writing about horror films and stuff like that. To us, that was ineffective, it didn’t have any impact on the listener. We wanted to introduce something that was a little more realistic. I mean, obviously, it’s got a fantasy element too, because some of these ideas are very overblown. But at the same time, the roots are in reality, and that’s why we use medical terminology. Also, I’d like to think that there’s an element of humor there. We’re not afraid to parody ourselves at times."
