"It was several years ago that I confessed to Attila that I am a huge fan of rock and metal ballads. Attila confessed the same thing. So that day we both agreed to write such a ballad, no matter what. Yet that was in the past and we felt we weren't ready for it yet. When we started to write Sacrament Of Sin, we decided that the album would contain more of a variation of songs. We also took on a more open-minded song writing process. We felt that this was the moment, this was the right time to write such a ballad. The thing is it takes the right song title, the right mood, the right melody and the right topic to write a ballad. Regardless, it was the right time to write the ballad and it’s one of the highlights of the album."
