Das Webzine IMHOTEP hat ein Interview mit Hypocrisy/Pain Mastermind Peter Tätgren veröffentlicht, in dem er über die Unterschiede zwischen den Bands erzählt und über seine Methoden zum Songwriting.

“I never would have imagined Pain became so big. Of course everyone wants to get higher sales figures and bigger crowds, but I don’t really know about that... With Pain it is about experimenting and with Hypocrisy about sheer brutality. I will continue Pain for as long as I feel it is necessary for me. I also write a lot of pop stuff, blues stuff, rock stuff… I only put the kind of ideas to Pain and Hypocrisy that fit. I could do almost any song for the other band, because basically the only difference is the production. I put more electronics on Pain and that’s about it. I also loop around with Pain, or actually I don’t do it that much anymore. I always hear right away which band’s melody or riff it is when I start with a new one. And then I compose the rest of the songs accordingly. I used to write all the Pain songs on keyboards, but now I’ve started using the guitar too.”
