Great interview of Fenriz from Darkthrone. I really like his view on underground metal today, Darkthrone not playing live shows, and bands defacing the value of black metal.

Black metal is thinking for yourself. That can be done with or without computer. Most importantly is to stay away from copying 90’s bm. I don’t play bm anymore because of all the trendys defacing the value of bm, and all the arty people into emperor and such… I didn’t sign up for that. I signed up for rebellion, and I do that the best with my own songs since 2005 which is a mix of NWOBHM-punk and speed metal.

Fenriz of Darkthrone fame has put out a mix tape of some bad ass metal!  It is available for download at Vice magazine.

I started the comp by thinking of some acts that should definitely be on there. Then I mulled it over for a week. I then sat down to structure it, and I had several darlings to kill and new ones to include. I am not making a ONE STYLE comp here, like ‘occult thrash’ or something. I chose numbers mostly from bands that are/were old and rough and soulfully sounding, but thrash is one of the most intense genres, so it sort of HAS TO be varied WHEN I MAKE 78+ minutes here! I was thinking of dropping three of the songs to make it more like a hit parade, but one needs some ups and downs in life, ha ha. Better to leave the mix untampered with. So it is sort of a whole labyrinth of songs, a world to get lost in. I also start with two tracks that have a really underground sound, so I will lose all posers that try to listen to the mix.
