I could listen to Erik talking for hours. Interviews with other musicians are often boring and sterile, but his never are. He truly has interesting things to say and a good way to express them.

His personality has always been one of the things that really grabbed me alongside their great music. The last piece of advice sums it up. Those emotionally harrowing moments in songs make Watain's music so much more important to me than other bands.

Watched them perform in 2010 , during the start of their Lawless Darkness - tour and I got totally blown away. Best performance I ever attended. Erik's charisma is pretty much unparallelled , in my opinion.

Great job, man. It's nice to see interviewers who ask thoughtful, concise questions and give the guest time to answer.

I love when the artist is really comfortable with the interviewer. In some interviews he was like performing somehow, it happened with other artists, but they are who they are.. you get to know the passionate guy with their art and music, and it all flows really well. Cool interview!

What a fantastic interview dude. I've never seen Erik speak so freely. Kudos on coming at this from a different angle and as well for respecting the musical craft and journey. I expect you have some decent experience yourself on the road in order to have such insight. Erik himself seems a complex and guarded man with a great depth of knowledge and through your work we have seen a little beyond the veil. Well done.

@MercurialAscent Жыл бұрын

It's nice to see Erik evolve past the edge lord he always was. He's such an intelligent guy and even Selim and Jon let themselves be seen as human. Selim was even thought of as genuinely sweet and kind to people but channeled the same kinds of energies in his music.

I feel this interview really appeals to musicians and as a vocalist/guitar player in the metal kingdom I appreciate hearing a more specific perspective on his craft, not just how their touring is going etc etc you really pull more meaningful information out of the musicians you have on here. I wish more people asked deeper questions like this! You really ask leading questions that make them think deeply on the spot. Tusen Takk fra norge, har det bra ;@ 🇳🇴

I don't understand how it can "be referred to as". Either it is or it isn't. IS it their first demo or not? Maybe a problem with the english words? Lol
