Mikael on how well Ghost of Perdition is written

"There are a lot of old songs where I feel like I can actually hear the insecurity in my songwriting, but Ghost of Perdition is one where I don’t feel that at all.

"I absolutely love playing Ghost of Perdition live - there is a sense of excitement throughout my body whenever I know it’s the next song in the set. I know it’s going to fucking kick off in the crowd – this is the song that even if someone leaves our show saying, ‘The whole thing was horseshit,' they’d still go ‘Ghost of Perdition was great though.'"
