the_future_modernesMaja Ivarsson is in a long-term relationship with four guys. They’ve been together for 13 years, since she was a teenager, growing up in Sweden. They call themselves The Sounds and they have just released the fourth product of their love, Something to Die For.
”When we met, it’s almost like when you meet the love of your life,” Maja said. “There’s this chemistry going on and sparkle and you know ‘Oh my god — we’re on the same page, all of us, and we want the same things and it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when it’ll happen.”
The bisexual frontwoman says she feels married to her bandmates, Felix Rodriguez, Johan Bengtsson,Jesper Anderberg and Fredrik Nilsson, not only because they’ve been together so long, but because they have a lot of respect and love for one another.
”We’ve been going through hard times — like really hard times,” Maja said, “and really good times. But we always seem to land on both of our feet and be grounded and still want to do the same thing 13 years later, and that’s playing music and recording records.
Something to Die For is the follow-up to 2009’s Crossing the Rubicon, and Maja calls it a “reaction” to the last album’s mellowness.

Within Temptation - Faster & Mother Maiden Short Film
The first of three short films, to be released this year. These movies give further insight into the concept of Within Temptation's fifth studio album "The Unforgiving" and are based on the comic storyline; the characters are impersonated by actors. Each film is followed by a band performance that, all together, form a dark and compelling tale of life, love, revenge, rage, and regret. The first movie, titled "Mother Maiden", ties in with the band's first single & video for 'Faster', introducing the main characters of the narrative.
Thoughts? I for one love the fact that the powerful old lady, Mother-Maiden; likes her work. I've read way too many stories of people with great power who don't like it for one reason or another, and its refreshing to see someone who's fine with their fate.
And congrats to the new addition to the family!
