He adds of Gustafsson: "We asked him to help us write and record the album, because we didn't want go out and find a complete replacement, start working and then realise halfway through, 'This is not working out.'

"Tobias is an old friend and a great drummer. He contributed a lot to the end result of the album. It would not have turned out as great as it did without him." Watch the full interview - here.
