SPB: III is a concept album that continues the tale that started on your self-titled debut album -- what books/comics/movies inspired you to tell this tale?
Risburg: The biggest inspiration for our concept is probably the works of H.P. Lovecraft and the original Planet Of The Apes [films]. The story is like a mix between those two. But of course a lot of other things also make its way in to something like this. Authors like H.G. Wells, Jules Verne and Frank Herbert as well as a lot of sci-fi- and horrormovies like Event Horizon, Alien, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Void and Sergio Leones Dollar-trilogy have also had a big impact on our story.
