Everything's entertaining for different reasons. Here's kinda the way I see it: you can appreciate a lot of different things for what they are. Like, we're obviously a much different type of death metal band from, say, My Dying Bride or something like that, but there's no reason you can't appreciate both of them for what they are. I like Anathema and My Dying Bride. I also like Morbid Angel and Vader, and I also like us and Autopsy – of course I like us! I'm in the band! You know what I mean. It's good for what it is. When I see a movie like Evil Dead I don't expect it to be like The Shining, just like a person who likes Cannibal Corpse. They shouldn't expect us to be like Anathema. You know what I'm saying? But they can like us for being... the Evil Dead of death metal! [laughs] And they can like those other bands for being more psychological or whatnot." Alex is agnostic. The fossil marine worm species "Websteroprion armstrongi" is named for Webster; the researchers who named it — both heavy-metal fans — stated that "Alex Webster just seemed like the perfect fit for a giant worm with saw-like jaws".

English, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion by Tolkien, by Anne Applebaum, etc..." When asked about his favorite song on the Morbid Angel album "Altars of Madness", Webster answered: "that whole album is so amazing, it's hard to choose. Maybe "Chapel of Ghouls", "Immortal Rites", or "Visions from the Darkside"." In a 2006 interview, he commented that his favorite albums of the previous five years are Spawn of Possession's "Cabinet", Necrophagist's "Epitaph", Aeon's "Bleeding the False", Hate Eternal's "I, Monarch", and Spastic Ink's "Ink Compatible".
