NILS MOLIN of DYNAZTY: The Vision Behind 'Game of Faces' And The Future Of The Band

Interview by Angela Croudace
In a recent chat with Nils Molin from the Swedish metal band
Dynazty, we delved into the creative process behind their latest
album, Game of Faces, exploring the album’s thematic depth, the
challenges of creating music during post-pandemic times, and the
band’s future plans.
The album title reflects the duality Nils felt when writing the
title track. He explained that the contrast between dark and happy
sounds within the song led him to envision theatrical
masks—symbolising the complex and often deceptive nature of human
expression. "People are deceptive by nature," Nils noted,
acknowledging the masks we wear in different situations.
The album's creation wasn’t without its hurdles. Writing during a
time of constant touring, the band faced the challenge of
maintaining creative momentum while juggling their busy schedules.
Despite this, Nils emphasized that their approach to songwriting
remained consistent, prioritizing authenticity and creative freedom
over any external expectations. “You just write with the same
enthusiasm and inspiration you always have,” he said.
When discussing the impact of their previous album’s success,
particularly Heartless Madness achieving Platinum status, Nils was
quick to point out that it didn’t directly alter their approach to
songwriting. However, the success provided a sense of momentum and
belief, fuelling their continued creativity.
Looking ahead, Nils expressed excitement about performing new
tracks like Fire to Fight, which he believes will resonate strongly
with fans due to its energetic and live-oriented nature. Beyond the
music, Nils shared his personal interests, from his love of
European football to the importance of reinvention. He believes in
the value of personal and creative evolution, a theme he explores
in his songwriting.
As for Australian fans, Nils teased the possibility of a future
tour, promising that Dynazty would be looking into it soon. The
band’s commitment to staying true to their roots while exploring
new musical territories promises even more exciting things to
come.
For Nils, Dynazty represents more than just a band; it’s about five
musicians sharing their love for music, creating something genuine,
and enjoying every moment on stage. "We just try to play something
that we like, and hopefully, others will like it too," he
said.
