1 - It is 14 years of hard metal, as is the reception of black metal fans everywhere you play? Can you tell us about the Danish scene?
 
Hails! During the last 14 years the blackmetal fans have changed a lot, because there are many more bands to choose from now. However I experience a growing dedication to the old school underground scene when I’m out playing shows. The Danish scene is as small as ever at the moment, but the next generation of bands/fans/psychos are spawning and we are in for some interesting stuff. Can’t wait for that to happen.

2 - Every job you see an evolution in your work, as it has been this evolution in the house band?
 
There is a natural evolution in my music, sound and lyrics. I evolve therefore it evolves.  
 
3 - How did the interest in black metal, and what are the major difficulties in all these years?
 
The early 90’s Swedish and Norwegian blackmetal bands were surrounded by mystery, death, magic and murder and that inspired a lot of atmospheric music that really caught my attention.
The big problems included people dying and getting imprisoned, forcing the bands to split up or take long breaks.

4 - What are the projects for the second half?

Do you mean what’s in store for the next 14 years? More albums definitely, and more liveshows.

5 - What is the band's current line-up, and expects to make a tour in america?
 
The band still consists of me alone concerning composing and recording the music.
The live line-up has changed many times over the years and the live-members shall remain unnamed here.

6 - Quick play:
 
4 national bands: Blodfest, Sadomator, Myrd, Strychnos
4 international bands: Helheim, Arckanum, Vitsaus, Whiskey Ritual
1 book: Gesta Danorum by Saxo Gramatticus
paganism: Pre-christian rural rites
Angantyr: Mighty Danish king in the 8th century
Christianity: a historical plague
Satanism: The search for a deeper meaning
One sentence: To answer truthfully, is the mark of a wise man
 
7 - Influences?

Early and mid 90’s blackmetal bands from Norway and Sweden.
The forest and sea of my childhood home.
 
8 - Some new trabaho in mind? Already have a name? What can it be effective?
 
An album is planned for 2012. That is all I can reveal at this point.
 


9 - What is your view on the metal scene today?

Too many bands, too many genres, too many assholes.

10 - For you, the black metal is a lifestyle?
 
Certainly.

11 - Ever wondered what life would be without the metal?
 
My concentration would still have lain on Scandinavian history and Norse mythology, I would just have conveyed it in a different way.
 
12 - What to talk about the Nazi movement in society? The last case we can cite is the attack on Oslo!
 
I have no interest in the nazi movement in society, or politics in general.
Politics are a glorification of the ability to lie and deceive.
