Nordic Vision #1 was released in April or May 1994, so this interview was done during 1992. Here follows an interview done more than one and a half years ago by Dauden, and it was supposed to have been one of the int. in Ancient Mysticism. But that didnīt happen so now it is here. Really nothing more to say except that Fenriz answered these questions. I am one of those privileged, who have had the chance to listen to the advance for "Under a Funeral Moon". I would say itīs extremely cold, evil and ugly! Is this on purpose or is it just the way it came out? (if you agree with me) - Itīs 100 % calculated. We used most time on building a sound which can only be associated with darkness and evil. But we had to "start from scratch", though - trying to tell an engineer that we want an oldfashioned sound, analogue and ugly, is not that easy ! However, we succeeded and the result should cover your soul with black frost! "Transilvanian Hunger" will be your last album on the contract with Peaceville. Will you sign for them again, will you sign for someone else or simply no one? - The future is unclear. As Nocturno Culto grows furthermore eccentric, and Zephyrous hates everyone. I do not wish to rush a statement. Personally I have nothing whatsoever against doing more albums on Peaceville. They are the label most likely to understand our reality except for Deathlike Silence. Whatīs most important, lyrix or music? - Both. No further comments on this one. Are you religious in any way? - Yes, but this is not the trey which I wish to deliver my soul to. I have no further respect for heathens, or people who mock fanatic religion. Where does the best Black Metal bands come from? - Norge - den onde kysten - hovedstaden i nord. Det hatske innland og slangehullet Oslo... What does it demand from a band to create a really great Black Metal album? - Think evil. No progression. Keep Black metal clean (dirty!). Do not "go your own ways". Always have the old gods in mind. But most important - you do not necessarily need to start your own Black metal band, because that is the way the "Death" metal thing happened. Where do you see Darkthrone taking themselves on "Transilvanian Hunger"? - As one can see from quest. 6, we will never progress. We refuse to do "something new". We will (once again) try to take yī all back to "the old days". Does your name "Fenriz" mean anything to you, or is it just a name you took because it sounded "good"? - Dont patronize me. This name is holy. It is by the way my legal name. I prefer to take Fenriz seriously ( of course! I hate people who see these names as a joke! - Dauden), and all other people who have the guts to take a REAL name and stand by it. This is not a game. By the way, I do not think my name sounds GOOD. ( well, "good" - Dauden). Last Conclusion or/and hails? - Summon armageddon. |
