"It's been twenty-five years in the making," says guitarist and main
songwriter Anders Wikström. "Since day one I knew we had this album in us.
The ideas were there. The vision. But it took us this long to find the right
tools to make it all come true. It took five albums, millions of miles on the
road, a thirteen-year-long break and a whole new perspective on life to get
it right. In hindsight, it now seems that everything we've done since we
formed the band has been pointing in one direction. Of course, we didn't know
it back then, but this is what we aimed for all along."

According to a press release, "Coup de Grace" is a collection of songs that
is so much more than just kick-ass, sing-along rock'n'roll songs. They are
more a sort of mini-autobiographies from five grown men reflecting on life.

"This album is a statement of who we are today," explains Wikström. "We're
older… yeah, perhaps even wiser. We look at our lives and the world around
us in a different way. I wanted to reflect that in our lyrics. I mean, we're
all fathers and we raise our kids in a world that's in a turmoil. There's a
lot of pressures, fears and tough expectations."

"We got back together in 2006 because we all missed playing together. We
released a compilation album and did a tour, but we weren't sure what to do
next. In 2008 we all felt that we had an album to do," continues Wikström.
"I started demoing songs and in May 2009 we were ready to hit the studio."
