MM: Which track is your favorite on "Third Impact" today and why
Mr.Messerschmitt: Every member has the own favorite song, but for me is “Heart of tank”. Because while i sing this song i can immagine to feel the adrenaline and the fear of the soldier who drive that steel monster. It’s not apology of war, but only a description about human sensations during in a extreme situation.

Mr.Messerschmitt: Yes. More obscure and heavy. About the sound and the lyrics.

MM: What is the most memorable gig you have done with Gunjack so far.
Mr.Messerschmitt: There were many awesome shows,in Germany for example, but i remember the release party of “The Cult Of Triblade” album. It was fantastic.
