I was
destroyed by your new album, Rockin
Underground. How do
you see the development of your style since
the Heartfelt 7”? It
seems you have
become uglier and tougher in your sound.
yes, it's a human
development, but backward in time , back to the stone age.
You make a bold statement on the inside sleeve
of Rockin
Underground where you say “fuck Modern Metal!”
What do you see is the problem with modern metal and where
should we be
looking in order to get proper metal?
well, it depends
on listener's mind, but in fact, real metal (especially the unholy
thrash real
metal) must sound abusively, impertinently, depressingly and not as
modern
metal, abusing no one, sweet and clear. i think , it's necessary to
listen to
the Dishammer and Eyehategod riff's.
Do you view black metal as a brotherhood? Who are your brothers in
this struggle for
black metal art? And
what is represented
by the Elite Forces of Metal?
i don't want to
speak about brotherhood, but i'll tell you, that Elite Forces of Metal
is the
old Slayer, and about the rest, please ask Incinerator, because he
wrote these
lyrics.
I was
joyously greeted by your announcement of
the Rebirth
of Tangorodrim. How
did this come about
and why did you break up originally?
What can we expect from Tangorodrim now?
Tangorodim was, is,
and will be there, and expect the new 7" soon with two new songs, for
crust sake!!!!
Do you view yourself as a wolf among sheep? And who are the sheep in
this world? The
slaves to modern metal? The
religious fanatics? Who
else?
the more wolf gets
closer to the sheep's herd, the more he is confused which one is to
catch
first....we all are sheep, who run after each other all the time under
the name
"wolf".
Most of your lyrics are done by Incinirator of
Tangorodrim
rather than yourself or Darkness.
Why is
that? Do you think
he has the right
attitude to convey the message behind your music?
Why don’t you write any lyrics?
A hundred percent.
Because, i've asked Incinerator to writhe the lyrics. He is the only
person who
can writhe the lyrics for Hell Darkness
The
new album has a song “Old Metal Riffs.” What to you makes an
old
metal riff? What
separates it from a modern metal riff
and what bands define old metal riffs for you?
Hellhammer,
Hellhammer, H E L L
H A M M E R !!! (old
, first) and i don't wanna talk about modern metal, FUCK MODERN METAL
!!!
Back to the Heartfelt 7”.
Can you give me some background about it?
Why did you dedicate it to Quorthon?
He died and i just
dedicated to him my following release... but not the whole 7", only the
song Dark Underground of Hell
Fenriz highly recommended Rockin Underground
and made
Tangorodrim band of the week recently.
How does it feel to have him being so supportive of your
black metal
art? Have you
gained a lot of new
supporters for Hell Darkness and Tangorodrim through him?
Fenriz is a Rock
Undergroud Giant!!! i was introduced to a lot of bands via Fenriz.
What
are your future plans for Hell Darkness? Any new 7”s, albums,
etc.?
Some dirty metal
unholy thrash 7" in the future
