#### Jensen from Seance

Global Domination: We at Global Domination saw fit to add your release, “Saltrubbed eyes”, to our esteemed Class 6(66) hall of fame. Do you feel this album is worthy of such an honor?

Jensen: Why yes, of course!

GD: What was the ultimate goal for you while recording this album?

Jensen: Just to write the most intense shit ever recorded

GD: Name something of interest that you remember from the recording sessions.

Jensen: All the weird working titles we had on the album… but they are in Swedish so it wouldn’t do any good to write them out here… Plus, we wrote the last track for the album (“Soul erosion”, the first song on the album) at 4am in the morning of the same day we had to leave for the studio… Oh yeah, and one day, when Tony and I stayed behind to track some guitar solos or whatever, Mique, Bino and Johan took the day off and ended up at a zoo… where a monkey, most deliberately, pissed on our drummer Mique hehe…

GD: If you could change any one thing about this album, what would you change?

Jensen: I’d actually believe I would change the bass sound. I know it is one of the key elements on the album that makes it stand out as such a brutal piece of work, but there are sooo many good riffs on there, that even I cant make out anymore.. It’s a waste of a truckload of great riffs.

GD: Why do you think this album means so much to those who consider it a classic?

Jensen: Honestly, I have no idea, but I’m glad that people still remember it… especially people in the US seem to remember it particularly well.. I suppose the more American style of DM we played appealed more to the Americans than to, say, the Germans, who preferred Unleashed instead.

GD: Finally, as an artist and musician, what special place does this album hold in your heart?

Jensen: Hmm, well, I did develop a stomach ulcer writing it, cos all the writing duties, planning, band management etc were handed to me… I did burn myself out pretty bad while writing it… That, together with the complete lack of support from Black Mark, made me disillusioned about the whole thing… That’s a reason to why I VERY rarely listen to the album… All this eventually made me leave the band (late -95) and move to Gothenburg, to try to form a new band with my friend Adrian Erlandsson, who, at the time, was still in At The Gates. “Saltrubbed Eyes” is cool… I wouldn’t want to have not done the album, but still to this day, I feel the frustration and workload I had back then when listening to the album.
