Interview with Fenriz

Taken from Deo Occidi #2, released 04.04.95 by U.W.W.

Who are in Darkthrone now?

Zephyrous, Nocturno Culto and Fenriz.

Why have you left Peaceville?

Because they started to work against Darkthrone. By doing that they work against all antichrists in the universe. Furthermore, Peaceville was bought up by Music For Nations and Darkthrone refuses to play ball with big music business. Anyway, I'm sure that Music For Nations would never let us fight Christ in the way we've always did.

What is Storm's "Nordavind" with Satyricon and Emperor members?

Storm is Norwegian folk music in a very metal way by me and Satyr. No Emperor members here! Storm has got a very great sound by the way, Storm strikes hard.

"Panzerfaust" is out and you said there are 2 forthcoming albums, what can you say about them and your musical evolution?

First comes "Goatlord". "Goatlord" was recorded in late 1990, it was originally the second Darkthrone album after "Soulside Journey". I think that "Goatlord" still should be seemed as the second Darkthrone album, so now "A Blaze In The Northern Sky" should be counted as the third album. This is a bit complicated, but I hope you'll understand. The vocals on "Goatlord" (release will come in late 1995) were done in late 1994, though. Then comes "Total death" in 1996 (probably late 1996, we have to work hard with this album). It will be hard, black and ugly, and the lyrics on the 8 songs will be written by Gods from Black Metal scene. 8 different Black Metal gods will write for "Total Death".

You said in "Panzerfaust" you were not a political band, have you no point of view on this topic? Really?

Right now I am not particularly interested in political views, no. Do you have any problems with that?

Are you Satanist, Odinist? How can you define yourself today?

I am a satanic antichrist. Also an egoist and an individualist.

What do you think of all those new Black Metal bands, do you think they spread the left hand path spirit in Europe?

A high percentage of them walk and spread the word of the Left Hand Path, yes.

Have you a goal with Darkthrone and Black Metal, or is it only music for you?

It is a rude question, I must point out. It has always been our most important mission to use lyrics and music as dynamite against the Christ-Following hordes. Both is equally important, I believe.

What do you think of Europa?

It can be analysed in the opposite ways. Satanically, I choose none of the analyzed sides, I simply choose the Dark Side.

Will Varg Vikernes write lyrics for you again in the future and what did he bring to you?

Except for "Total Death" where different gods from Black Metal scene will write lyrics... Varg will probably not write here, he has already done lyrics for Darkthrone, I will write lyrics in the future.

Some words for French B.M.?

Stop eating frogs! It's simply ridiculous!
