Audio clips part 1, part 2

How do you come up with the album name?
The name has a lot of meanings, but for us its the doomsday clock expression who made us decide to choose it.

Is there any harder/heavier song on the album like 'One Step Closer'?
Yes, there are a lot of heavier songs on this album which you can also hear on our live shows!

How can we expect the album's direction to be? Is it more like What I’ve Done or more like Given Up, which we heard on YouTube?
There are much more directions on this album! Every song is special and unique.

How do you define your new style of your new album?
We don't have any words to describe it. Only "New"!

How many songs will Mike rap on?
I‘m (Mike) rapping at least on two songs, singing one song and doing backing vocals on all other songs. I composed more than singing.

Your songs "Carousel“ and "Part of Me“ are great! Why don't you play these songs live?
We have so much songs so it isn‘t easy for us to decide which we’ll play live. In the upcoming shows we want to play new stuff from MTM and also older songs . We can’t wait to tour again!!

How was the reaction of the fans when you played the new songs in Berlin?
When we played Given Up most of our fans were able to sing the chorus with us, because they knew it from the internet. It was great.

How was the tour with Metallica?
It was great, we had a lot of fun. We were able to tour with our idols (Metallica) and our fans at the same time, that's great.

Do you make a new DVD?
We have a DVD on our upcoming album (Special and Super Fan Edition) which is at least our best DVD we have ever done!

How was your reaction after the release of No more Sorrow clips on YouTube (after the Berlin show) ?
The album version is much better than this version! (I think Mr. Hahn answered this question, really funny ;-)

Your lyrics are more political. Do you discuss those songs together and do you always have the same opinion?
We discuss our work all time. And sure, we don't have ever the same opinion but when we write those lyrics we try that everyone stands behind it.
