[@davidtsang5424]

Didn't expect to see Dark Funeral on here. Look forward to seeing more Black Metal bands featuring on this channel.

[@Imperialomen]

I love that Garza has on a giant of black metal this is awesome. Dark Funeral are kings

[@NancySkavarc]

This is what I love about this Pod, an honest, genuine conversation between musicians in a genres they helped build and push furhter. No hype, no fu*king click bait, no fakeness like most pods out there. Keep it up Garza and team!

Now I like Dark Funeral more after this interview. Lord Ahriman is such a good calm mellow dude and much respect!

[@dentedilupo81]

[@tommylee9339]

Damn!!!! Another huge guest! Dark Funeral is one of my favorite fast Black Metal bands! Keep it up you're killing these pods!

[@necro.daemoness666]

Fast? Ever heard of Marduk?

[@hqmon293]

Love this Garza. You approached this as a sincere and curious person/musician who appreciates Death Metal. The fact that Lord Ahriman and other heavy hitters beyond Deathcore have come on your channel speaks volumes. You all respect each other as musicians and don't GAF what others think. Keep up the great work I know that this is pushing genres and subgenres forward.

[@justinwolz4932]

Lord Ahriman is so chilled out. Even his cadence is nice and relaxed.

[@Chris_Brah]

That's Swedes from the northern part for you, everyone is calm and soft spoken.

[@ethantyeeisenmann6166]

Got to open up for them a couple of weeks back, and they absolutely demolished that stage. It was an honor and a pleasure to share a night with them.

One of my favorite bands since my childhood. I really hope they finally come to US with a headlining tour!!! They’re always razor sharp.

Lord Ahriman is Black Metal refined. He is such a legend and a great composer.

Two of the most triumphant Swedish Black Metal bands are Dark Funeral and Marduk. All Hails!

He seems like he takes a very stoic aproach to life. Very cool.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Absolutely stoked for this interview. Been a fan of Dark Funeral for nearly 20 years now.

I’m a huge DF fan. I was instantly excited to watch this. Seeing them again Friday in Cleveland

[@NateSmith87]

DARK FUNERAL is a fuckin amazing band. Every member. Black Metal heavyweight legends.

Raw, pure, kick ass interview. Thank you !!

[@jacktodd3439]

I love Dark Funeral, your podcast has more and more big names, ride on.

[@dreamplace7469]

Hands down, best metal channel on the platform.

[@mauro5142]

Led by a guy that didn't know about exchanging letters and tape trading back in the nineties

[@dreamplace7469]

​@@mauro5142 What is that - top criteria for having a successful metal podcast? who gives a shit

[@mauro5142]

@@dreamplace7469 if you talk about metal subgenres in the nineties like in this case, some things are unavoidable to know in advance. Basic stuff like this, for example. It gives how deep is the knowledge in the interview. That, in fact, is really boring and blend. He didn't even mention David Parland in the questions, just to give you a small example. You don't have the slightest idea of what that means, as your comment and answer testify.

[@dreamplace7469]

@@mauro5142 Then perhaps you are in the wrong place, clearly. I don't go to places that don't have the food I like, and then complain about it.

[@mauro5142]

​@@dreamplace7469 No, I am in the right place since I listen to Dark Funeral. I am prepared about what the artist talks about. Simply you have different criteria to declare what is a good podcast, as you mentioned. It's that 'best' that is wrong, in my opinion, and I explained why. You didn't.

[@DukeVanDark]

I listen Dark Funeral since the late 90’ as I discovered In the Sign album. As time passed Dark Funeral refined so much and the last album We are the Apocalypse is so good!

[@LanceQualls-tf4tt]

I've never actually listened to your band Chris, but I think I need to. I'm aware of your impact on music and have a huge respect for that. You're a very likable person. Dark Funeral are bm legends, so it was great that you did this interview. All music is worth my attention. Respect from Texas

Wow he sounds very interesting and I love his views on music and life

[@arredond]

i always think its so cool how these black/ death metal bands always appreciate old school metal like Judas Priest

[@rogerhage1377]

Hes so educated in his music and how he develops it

I met him 20 years ago in mexico city, what a nice guy

Garza carries the conversation well. I know there's a difficulty in speaking long form consistently when English isn't the others first language.

Had a nice chat with him a few weeks ago in Kansas. Also ghost bath dudes were super nice

I heard Dark Funeral first on Feuersturm WW1 CD compilation. I was blown away with the sound of minor wind sounds and Power. Beautiful grim landscapes telling a story.

[@DOLLOTRONHTX]

GARZA YOU GOTTA GET GIRL OF GLASS FROM HOUSTON TX ON HERE

[@baulzzzzzzz2278]

It’s hard for me to enjoy black metal but the reality is Dark Funeral just fuckin kills it every time

[@MoonOvIce]

You should check out more black metal, it's a genre that has a lot to offer, so there's a lot of very different sounds.

[@baulzzzzzzz2278]

@ it doesn’t tho, a lot of black metal is just sifting thru noise. Thaniphxath or however you spell it I like, the keys to the astral gate and mystic doors II is also an album I’ve found that’s pretty damn good. Black metal really is something that’s only for black metal fans and it sounds obvious but it’s not if you’re a lover of heavy music. I love all forms of heft from deathcore, to deathmetal, slam, fuckin grind all of it. However when it comes to black metal it stands in its own world and it’s a love or hate thing for sure

[@andrewmeyering7343]

​@@baulzzzzzzz2278 that's the same for me. I've tried year over year. Probably near 10 years at this point. But I can't seem to get into black metal. I have a buddy who lives and breathes it. So I've heard all the OGs and that. I appreciate him trying to get me into black metal. But I just can't. I do love my death metal/death core. But I HAVE to give it to these guys. They are an inspiration to many.

[@Burzum831]

@@baulzzzzzzz2278 thats how you think it is and that’s fine but not how everyone thinks of it. To me listening to any death metal or deathcore band is just regurgitated noise that all sounds the same with no intriguing uniqueness to the sound besides a very small group of bands.

[@baulzzzzzzz2278]

@ bruh….that IS black metal 😂😂 no hate obviously lol I love what the genre has done for metal, but, don’t be pretentious yes deathcore can be a little run of the mill, but bro black metal ALL sounds the same 😂😂 they themselves do that purposefully because there’s a “way” to make black metal. There’s a serious elitism in the genre for no good reason, other than, black metal artists over the years have made it painfully obvious they view the type of metal they make is leaps and bounds better because of its low production quality and raw nature. Let’s no split hairs there are good and bad to both genres however the idea that deathcore is regurgitated noise is hilarious, because if that’s the case all black metal just sounds like listening to metal thru a Tin can 😂😂

[@NateSmith87]

If you didn't know already, the black metal scene in the 80's-90's was very intense with their beliefs, image, music, and that competition created tension and violence in an already oppresive tension filled country.

[@leatherwolf7493]

Excellent interview. Get Marduk on next!

[@NIJHR]

I remember introducing my way older nephew to early dark funeral when I was like 10 years old. He said 'this sounds just like me waking up'

[@anthonysuski9248]

Awesome!!! 👍

[@WEARETHEENDBANDTV]

Legendary

[@AngelE666]

Solid interview.

[@sommelierofstench]

idk why bringing up lorna shore to him was so funny to me haha. anyways i don’t know who wore corpse paint first, but there’s a sick video of arthur brown playing “fire” (actual dope song) here on youtube from the 70s or somewhere around then. seemed pretty cutting edge back then

[@jefo2405]

Lorna Shore... just checked them out and it sounds like one of those modern "product" bands someone invented to appeal to a certain audience to make money (rather than being passionate about something and going with the flow). I don't connect to that at all, feels so empty. If I want something soulless I stick with traditional Black Metal.

[@MeanWhile106]

Lorna Shore sucks

You need to try get one of the Emperor guys on, Samoth and Faust aren’t allowed into America as far as I know but a vid chat would be cool!

[@ar156]

He's probably thinking of Arthur Brown when talking about corpsepaint in the 60's

[@crow4936]

Good old Arthur " I am the lord of hell fire and I bring you..... Fire 🔥🔥🔥"

[@rogerhage1377]

He sounds amazing very cool upbringing

[@BloodyKnuckles66]

What makes dark funeral different is they're a black metal band with the ideals of hardcore in a way. Go see them live and that'll make more sense 🤘🤙

[@Dat1frog]

That makes it sound like that I as a extremly scrawny and fragile person wouldn’t survive. Still would like to see them

[@BloodyKnuckles66]

@Dat1frog I'm a scrawny guy too. Their interaction with the crowd is more of what I meant. They have some theatrics that you'd expect from a black metal band, but keep it more intimate in a sense. Go see them! Guaranteed good time 🤘🤙

[@BloodyKnuckles66]

@StinkyThePunk oh wow. Didn't know that, but makes sense 👊
