Would love to see Barker and Vortex team up with Galder on the new Old Man's Child project, health permitted. Hope he recovers ASAP.

Aye easy - they the best dimmu albums Every band this guy has been in he's lifted to greatness ' now that's some feat in itself You always know it's barker ' top tier musician he covers all bases Great technical ability but amazing taste and arrangement skills aswell ' deserves alot more credit

Nicholas Barker inspired me to jump from thrash punk to extreme metal. As a drummer, it’s not an easy jump to make. I have been honored to be inspired by such an amazing drummer.

How did you get in touch with him?

Me too I was there in 2 section behind the handicap spots

BRO I WAS THERE IT WAS AWESOME!!!!

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Was a great show! Thanks for posting!

Nick, you are a legend and a truly underrated drummer. I've been a fan since the early 2000s when Dimmu's PEM was released. Your drumming is therapeutic to me and I can fall asleep listening to your albums. I wish you the best with your recovery and hope to be able to shake your hand one day.

Jesucristo ✝️ Te Bendiga Nicholas Barker

My favorite drummer in the world. Hope he gets the transplant 🔥🤘

Beautiful album, with an excellent balance between wickedness, emotions and instrumental technique. The guitarist is phenomenal and reminds me of a mix between Ihsahn from Emperor and Yngwie Malmsteen while managing to maintain his originality and character. The guitar solo of Into the Silvery Shadows of Night is one of the most beautiful solos I've ever heard.

Nick is my favorite drummer. I was lucky to meet him at my job at a music store when he was with Dimmu. Galder, Vortex, and Galder were there. I spoke to Galder and Nick but was too scared to go up to Vortex. He was looking at all the bass guitars. I wen to see them that night. If I could start my band and had the good fortune to have him as my drummer, I would do everything possible to keep him in my band and TOTALLY Barkerize my riffs. I wish him good health. I really hope he gets the care he needs.

Look how Pat filled into Slayer on tour! INSANE

As a teenager back in the day in South Africa, I became a massive fan of your work with Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir. Youve aways been one of my top 3 metal drummers. Ive helped you now with a little something. Get well soon Nicholas!

Hope you get better nick. Keep looking after yourself and you are a fucking legend and a beast

dude, what a great interview! thank you so much for the work! And as for Barker, what a legend! Hope he goes through all this the better way! greetings from Brasil!

Awesome album! Can’t wait to see you live in Switzerland

Wolven Hour part II and In Coldest Embrace is a songs of the 2023 Year!

Nick Barker (PEM/DCA) and Inferno (Apostasy/Evangelion) my favorite drumming ever.

Puritanical was the first black metal album I ever bought and 99% of that purchase was based on Nick’s drumming. I force fed that album to anyone in earshot. I just by chance happened to move in next a metal drummer that would play that album so loud we could hear it while he was mowing the lawn. If by chance you’re reading this Nick, thankyou for sharing your amazing talent with us. Best wishes on the road to recovery and we hope to see you one day in Adelaide, Australia👍🏻

Nicholas Baker is a true master of his craft. I saw him live during his time in Dimmu. Baker has a great ear, great touch, and a facility to utilize them both. I love his drum sound. He has a great ear for cymbal choice, head choice, drum tuning, and whatever else he thinks of when delivering his great sound. Without question if Nicholas Baker made bird's eye video's of him playing along to all the songs he was on during his Dimmu years they would receive an ridiculous amount of views. I would love to hear him talk through the gear of that time too.

100% will be at the Brujeria / Borstal shows. Looking forward to seeing both those bands and Nick back behind the kit!

I had a feeling he didn't realize that he was well respected worldwide. I listen to his Dimmu stuff a lot. Drumming on those 2 albums was epic. I've always said "If I can play Maelstrom Mephisto, then my drumming life is complete". I just saw a video of them playing that live......... FASTER than the recorded track. INSANE!!!!! Tons of respect here.

Fucking awesome band🇫🇮

🤘💀🤘💀🤘💀🤘💀

Sending positive energy, Nick!

Huge fan!! Love Josh!

man wheres the pit

What song is this?? Cool riff!

Big Foster on lead vocals, he gone be bre'nin some day

Sellout band and ghost sucks. Listen to real metal like Uada and MGLA.

That was a cool concert I was by the mosh pit great show Lamb of God and Pantera a great show

Suddenly, a wild Bam appears

🤘🏻

Sorry these are the only clips I got! Was too busy singing along 😊

Can you post the whole thing? Pretty please?

Wanna my favorite parts of Viva La Bam was he'd still put metal music in. I mean MOTHERFUCKING SLAYER!

He’s still picking his boogers too

Bam has good taste in music 🤘🏾

Should've Went There!!! Plus I Live in San Diego Anyways

Picks a winner

Pretty awesome to know Bam’s a fan of one of my favorites!

Great band, shitty venue. If you aren’t 6’3” you are out of luck, you won’t see shit. Three of us developed horrible sinus infections (and one, pinkeye) within 3 days of this show. Unsanitary, cramped, nasty. Easily the worst venue I’ve ever been to for a metal show.

He picked his nose n looked at it lol

Did he pick his nose and look at it?

Did he pick his nose and look at it ??

Oh look it's bam, 14-year-old me might give a damn, but that was 20 years ago.

These guys are Nordic riff masters

I was there it was great
