Many of you know the name Janne Warmen thanks to his work with the band CHILDREN OF BODOM. Just as many are probably unaware that Mr. Warmen is also a solo artist and the album BEYOND ABILITIES is his second. I spoke to Janne about everything from keyboards, his thoughts on other players to Britnay Spears?! An interesting and comical discussion was had indeed!!
