BULLETRAIN HAVE RECENTLY RELEASED THEIR KICKIN' DEBUT ALBUM START TALKING, NOW I'M TALKING TOO WITH BULLETRAIN'S DRUMMER JONAS TO KNOW SOMETHING MORE ON IT!

Hi Jonas and welcome on the pages of The Bible of Metal! What a pleasure have you here!
Hi and thanks for having me! The pleasure is definitely mine!

Almost a decade has past since the release of your debut EP, now you're here with your kickin' full lenght album Start Talking, how are you living the moment?
'He he' Man, that's a really long time! Where did those years go? Glad you enjoy our album!! I'm lucky that I still feel like a teenager living my dream! We're grateful for all the positive response we're getting regarding our album and the shows we've done since the release.
As we know, it's been a long time, a really long and rocky road! So at the moment we just have a great time and enjoy the small amount of success we've achieved!

What has changed in all this years?
That's a really good question and I hope that a lot has changed, and to the better! Hopefully we've become a bit more mature, wiser and better at prioritizing important things. But we've probably only got more hair on the chin and somebody of us an impressive chest hair.
Notable changes is our new frontman Sebastian and bassist Niklas, two young(21 and 20 year old dudes), hard working and super talented musicians! We're really glad that those two showed up like a jack in the box!  

When have you started working on Start Talking?
In the end of 2011 we began recording the album, and as our lives, the recording progress was a mess and we recorded parts a little now and then. It wasn't until 2013 when we found Sebastian that everything fell into place.
We didn't know what to do with our lives if we couldn't play rock n roll, but here we are now and thank god (me) for that! 'he he' We survived our selves!

On late August you've released the first single taken from your debut album Start Talking, Out of Control, can you tell us more about the song?
Out of control is one of the later songs we wrote before we began the recordings, together with Start Talking and Nothing but trouble. Right from the moment when Matt came up with the intro riff we thought it was a badass song, which could represent our feelings of frustration and desperation
some of us had regarding obstacles in life. Bad relationships, working conditions and spiritual matters. It turned out pretty cool we think, don't you agree? 

How would you describe Start Talking?
We often jokingly call it our "Best of"- album. 'he he' We took those songs we were most proud of and our audience had enjoyed the most during the years!
The songs on the album are written throughout our career, in different circumstances, and that's one of the reasons why many songs can recall various genres.
We just wanted to get our voice heard and get a head start so we can deliver album number two which will be among the best one we've heard!
We believe we have the ability to do so.

Would you like to leave a message to the readers?
Believe in yourself no matter what hinder you may encounter in your life! Just that conviction has taken us in Bulletrain where we are today!
Oh and we're going on tour in January in Italy, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium! Hope we'll see you guys then!
