Taake interview - Beyond the Gates festival & surroundings of Bergen! 

Thanks! I think so too.

It's a thing I've noticed, seems like most of us who are into black metal and any other gloomy kind of music genre are always drawn to nature. Probably because it indeed put our crazy mind and thoughts at ease.

Thank you

Cheers!

Cheers!

Nice to hear! I hope you like this one, too.

My pleasure! Glad you like it.

I've visited quite a few countries and I could not decide one above others. They all have different beauties. I guess in the end it depends what one finds beautiful.

Thanks. And I agree!

Thank you! I wish we could do these kind of interviews more often.

It got released on September 1st.

second album only

But the big question is: do you know who he is? ;-)

@@RautaMetal the only person I can think of would be Attila from Mayhem, but I could easily be wrong.

A good guess, but no.

So who is it Jerry?

It's a drummer from the old scene. 😜

Thank you. Feel free to invite your metalhead friends and spread the word if you like!

My pleasure!

My pleasure. Glad you liked it.

Cheers! Well spotted.

Thanks!

Thank you.

Good to hear!

Glad you liked it!

I am just a metalhead…

I’ve been to Oslo a few times and still haven’t been there. I guess I have to fix that the next time.

Thank you!

Thanks! Would be great to do more outdoors interviews like this but most of the time not possible as bands stick to the venues only.

I understand.

Guess how many times I have asked already? :D

Kiitos! Yritetään Yleensä artistit eivät oikein taivu tällaisiin sattuneesta syystä. Nyt oli ns kotikaupunkietu.

Thanks. Which one you mean? I can ask.

@@RautaMetal Aindiachaí

Ok

I was told it's a private matter, so unfortunately nothing to share here.

@@RautaMetal Fair enough, thank you for asking!

Thank you!

Thanks! Fantoft is near Bergen, not exactly a walking distance, but still close by.

Sometimes some steering about is needed. :)

i didn't.

Can't please everyone

One day part 3!

He’s a great guy, too!

Thanks!

Thanks

I think everybody knows that, even Norwegians. I mean, there's a reason why Panzerfaust (the album, not the band) reeks of old Celtic Frost or why Burzum reeks of Bathory!

Norway did invent Black Metal. Snorre "Blackthorn" Ruch and Euronymous developed what vast majority of Black Metal is today. Bathory, Blasphemy and most of the "First Wave" were playing either Thrash or Death Metal, the reason they were "influential" is that they were Satanic, Musical innovation was scarce and only Bathory was really innovative(in terms of production, not songwriting). Only thing that came close other than Bathory was Master's Hammer, but it still lacked essential elements like full(6-string) chords that Mayhem was known for. And Master's Hammer's demo came out the same year Stigma Diabolicum released Luna de nocturnus, both came out in December. Mayhem already had Freezing Moon at the time as well.

I partially agree, but not fully. IMO old Bathory is better than vast amount of Norwegian black metal, even if my alltime favorites in BM come from Norway and Sweden. But let’s not forget bands like Sarcofago and Celtic Frost OR Greek bm scene that was there before Norwegians playd black metal. A lot of Greek bands started doing bm when Norsk bands were doing death metal. Surely, Norway producd a vast amount of good BM bands in the 90’s, so they get that credit for a reason. That being said, though, bands also emerged from Sweden and Finland to do their own ways of black metal. Norway just got into news more than other countries because of arsons and murders.

Visiting a country as a tourist is one thing. Bringing toxic behavior as part of culture (including but not limited to religion) is another. Think of things like circumcising kids or domestic violence etc. Sure, they might be OK in one place, but not in one's new home country. So, apply "When in Rome..." here. As a tourist you should have no problem with whatever background you have as long as you cope with the local culture & laws :)

I'm Mexican and lived in Norway. I didn't face any kind of racism, personally with my experience, or any kind of rudeness. In fact lots of Norwegians have something called taco night, nothing similar to Mexican tacos but its something! As usual, when you move somewhere you adapt, learn the language and do as the locals do~

@@neoxochitl thanks! And for sure, I’m a hispanic living in Canada, so I definitely know how it is when it comes to adapting and such. Like I mentioned in my comment, without any conext is easy to think of the worst. Thanks again!

@@martmelee I hope you get to visit soon and I really think you will love the countries you mentioned!

I think it's about time people learn the meaning of "racism" and stop putting that lazy label on anybody indiscriminately.

ask "her"?

@@RautaMetal jajajajajsj Sorry in my country Google translator not working. But the important is the kiss. Xd

Ok! Kissing is good.

Thank you so much
