Ultra Rare BATHORY Interview From 1987

Without question, we all know the impact that BATHORY has had on underground! The other day, I got an awesome email from one of our French comrades Gabriel from Nihilistic Webzine and shared with me this killer 1987 interview with Quorthon…It’s a pretty cool listen, and I’m sure you will listen more than once…

Triumph of Death performing at the Inferno Metal Festival in Oslo 2022.

Back home after four amazing days at the Inferno Metal Festival in Oslo. After three years it was good to meet all the people again, both bands, fans and organizers, many of whom I only see this one time of the year.

With the strong lineup they had for this year there's too many highlights to mention, but a few stood out even more. Triumph of Death playing the old Hellhammer songs was probably the absolute highlight for my part. But also Ved Buens Ende, Mayhem, Kreator, Vreid, Hamferð, Whoredome Rife and Cadaver did memorable shows.

Four days of great concerts, great people, beers, a beautiful sunny spring Oslo and late nights take it's toll on a old metal soul. Tired now. But happy! And very much looking forward to next years festival already!

Podcast with Snorre Ruch of Thorns

Ep. #31: Snorre Ruch (Thorns)

Snorre Ruch (Thorns) and Thomas Eriksen (Mork) posing very metal-like in front of music studio gear.

Number 31 is around! And this has to be the most special one to date! As I have been told that Snorre Ruch never has done an in depth or long form interview before. That makes this episode and my podcast earth-shattering and ground-breaking! Haha, overkill? I think not! It was a great experience to visit Snorre, to listen to unreleased gems of music and to get to know this important character and innovator of Black Metal and art in itself. Join Snorre Ruch, Marius Vold, Harald Eilertsen and myself on the journey through the history of THORNS! For the FIRST time EVER!

This is the podcast episode we did some time ago when visiting Snorre and had a trip down the memory lane about Thorns and how all this mess got started. Haven't listened through it myself yet, but we had a good time when doing the episode at least.

Enjoy!
