Dodheimsgard & Ved Buens Ende interview - genuine brilliance from the Norwegian black metal scene 

Super articulate gentleman with the most interesting bands in black metal. Ved Buens Ende is apex abstract BM and DHG is dynamism personified.

This was a really cool talk, loved the Savonlinna story in particular, haha. Vicotnik is such a creative genius, madman of a stage performer, and seemingly a sweet fella. DHG really blew me away at Rites of North and Steelfest this year!

Vivotnik is a very deep thinker. Fascinating interview!

Ved Buens Ende's The Carrior of Wounds is one of my eternal favorite bm songs..🖤🖤🤘🤘🖤🖤 Respect to Vicotnik..long time bm musician!🤘

Amazing interview. After having listened to Black medium Current for the first time, I thought it was the album of maturity (concept, music and lyrics). It was my AOTY 2023 and still listening to it regularly. An essential record.

One more time , thanks a lot Rauta . Greetings from Norway 🤘🇫🇮🇳🇴

I saw Dodheimsgard live in 1999, they were pelted with cans. I was too young back then to understand their new direction, but I've seen them three times since then and have been impressed every time. A band that never gets boring and that I would/will see live again and again. Thanks for this interview!

After Blasphemy this. Dude your interviews are the BEST !!!

Thanks a lot, great interview. He is natural talent!

Ved Buens Ende is a classic band! nice interview!

Love Vicotnik’s artistic eclecticism. He dared to dive into new forms of expressions and even if I am not totally into all of Dødheimsgard albums I deeply respect his choices. Cheers Jerry and enjoy Beyond!! 🔝🥂🍺🖤

❤..Vicotnik, a genius! thx for the interview, Jerry! Written in Waters was for me in the '90s smth i've never listen before and probably will never listen again in the future, simply, a masterpiece!! absolutely great, cheerz, mate 🍻 ps: Black Medium Current, best album of 2023 (at least, for me)..it's kind of a circle, i think... ps2: as usual, u are unique in your interviews and a lots of respect for my part ❤

Such a unique band. Good and in depth interview as always from Rauta!!

Absolute inspiration, been a fan since I first listened to 666 International.

Amazing interview. One of your best. Thank you ! I wish you could interview Snorre Ruch of Thorns !

Great interview. Thanks.

"Written in Waters" is SUCH a unique picture of (a lot of people's, not just then band's) 1995. There's no.reason.on.earth for it to be re-created, unless it's done effortlessly like Vicotnik so eloquently put it. ______________________________________________________ This, from a guy who constantly checked Tiƶiana's newsletters back in '97 for a release date of that "Half Visible Presence" EP🙃

17:52 ... Damn that bass is still the greatest wierdest groove bass out there compared all of my metal albums! Just by smokin and listenin, now i know thats how you do it.

Great insight makes me Want to listen more by Vicotnik after only knowing DHG by name since I got into black metal in 2005 as a kid

Love these bands and awesome interview 🤘🏼

The latest Dodheimsgard album is brilliant. Great interview Jerry.

Great interview!

Fantastic video! 👍👍

excellent interview!

The name 'Dødheimsgard' is derived from three Norwegian words: 'død', which means 'death'; 'heim', which means 'home'; and 'gard', which means 'realm'. In English, it roughly translates to 'Realm of Death'. “Black Medium Current” was awesome! Release date: April 14th, 2023 Catalog ID: CDVILEF949

The first Dodheimsgard album I heard was 666 International, and it instantly clicked with me...well, instrumentally, at least, as I had to obsess over the lyrics for a week or so to decipher them, but they soon clicked too. Ferociously imaginative, honest, creative, raw, vulnerable, playful, comical and rage-filled self-analytical art. I was, beforehand, very used to the "everyday" BM bands, but 666 International really felt like an evolution of the genre into something that could be carried into the future and was not made by those who wanted to copy in order to gain fame easily by leeching off a now famous export. I understand why lots of those who were die-hard fans of the first two full-length albums were so disappointed, but because I started with 666 International, when it comes to DHG, it is surprising at the same time that the sheer advancement was shunned, and bizarre that it was the cause of fist fights. I see it as a special achievement in music as a whole, and a shining....or shimmering...example of pure passion. What Yusaf says here just continues this and that's why he has been so important in the "maturing" of the genre, along with Aldrahn, whose current band Urarv is furthering the essence of the ideology in 666 Int. and even AUO, separately. To-the-core honesty, passion and creativity.

Vicotnik is very good speaker, with some great stories

"I dont believe in free will" "Me neither!" This is a thinking mans interview, great stuff

Yeahh🤘🍻

Vicotnik might as well just say that Virus/Carl Michael Eide continued Ved Buens Ende and there was no need to have him in there. Having said this Vicotnik wrote one of the greatest riffs in Virus´s debut album (he wrote the "Road " instrumental ).

Finally.

Hail from Arizona USA 🤘😎💀☠️

😮

9:18 hahahaha😂😂

So glad they didn't go down the 666 international route
