Description: In this episode, HIM of the prog-metal band Sermon talks about the reasons for the anonymity of the name and the mask that he wears, the mask as a reflection of the music, songwriting as an extension of mood and feeling in a particular moment, creating alone and then bringing it to others for completion, and developing vocal skills. Plus, the Marillion connection, finding the ease of listening in metal, choosing topics for lyrics, and the significant cost with the vision of live performance.
