Gaahl's video quality is like his early black metal stuff

[@enricomadrigal9168]

It calls "Kvlt Quality"

[@bf1513]

Was just about to point that out

[@TERGENIS]

Totally disagree. Trelldom always had the perfect production

[@xz3693]

Nice

[@neuroleptika]

"Give me the worst laptop you have"

[@CeetjeBeetje]

Is it weird to expect decent sound quality from a Black Metal artist in video calls like this?

[@necessaryeverett]

Wouldn’t be trve or kvlt if the quality was better😂😂😂

[@wenxingwang7867]

Gaahl probably intentionally got a bad router so that his video streaming quality can be 144p 😂

The funniest comment I have read in a while

[@victorcoleman949]

He reminds me of Peter Steele: Articulate, polite, a little intense, has a unique look to him, likes his wine and makes incredible music.

[@kingofbruhssia4639]

RIP Lord Petrus, miss him every day

" I just wish I could live in a place where Autumn never ended". -Peter Steele (Jan 4, 1962 - April 14, 2010). Rest in peace, Green Man. The Type O family loves you always & forever.

[@Fenrir133]

He could be giving a lecture in quantum mechanics and I wouldn't know the difference with that sound quality. So metal

[@Chief-Solarize]

Gaahl is very good at hiding his demons. Always a total gentleman and that is admirable.

[@Vancity-2000]

Amazing interview, thank you, I met him at his gallery last year in July by chance, honored to meet Gaahl for the first time and chat with him, he's a great musician with lots of passion to art and his works, very friendly and great hospitality

[@hephaestusofficial]

I'm so glad Metal Injection asked my question about past members and projects of Gaahl's. Happy to hear that Gaahl still has some form of communication with Infernus and King even after all that's happened. Also Hat seems to still be around the scene! Can't wait for the new Trelldom and Sigfader albums!

[@strvggler]

Any word on a new gorgoroth album?

[@hephaestusofficial]

@@strvggler from what I've read, no. To be honest, if it's anything like the last one, I'm not interested. For me it was the weakest Gorgoroth album in their discography. Can't wait to see what they're up to though.

[@pattol666]

really had to let us know whos asking the questions eh,, would you like a cookie??

[@sercastamere9853]

@@hephaestusofficial - Heavily disagree about their latest album. It is their best-sounding production-wise and features great melodies from Infernus. Vocal style is different but I still like it

[@cccCCCccc123ccc]

@@sercastamere9853 I like it. But honestly it almost sounds like blackened deathcore. If a deathcore band released that album I think it would have been a lot more popular and well received.

[@bg4801]

Always love Gaahl interviews! Such an amazing artist.

[@bladerunner6662]

Great interview. Glads he's producing more music with Trelldom and Skagg. Gaahlskagg was incredible work.

[@artvarg2861]

Thank you Metal Injection for throwing my accomplishment question to Mr Gaahl. Glad to see it posted/asked, and even more seeing a humble being as him taking the time to answer those.

[@norwardradtke1361]

I strive to make music that is an deep and meaningful as this man, and to hold and Carry myself in the deep spiritual way that he does. I’m fortunate to be Norwegian and live in the woods like him haha. Skål!

[@callebergqvist8071]

Gaahl seems very open now, may be the questions and that the interviewers not scared of gaahl. Better questions, better answeres i guess. Really good to see!

[@neuroleptika]

The most mind blowing thing about specifically gorgoroth is how its the only songs that often sound "ok" in headphones, but fire up a song on a good stereo from the 80s and its like it was never made for anything else, both gaahl era gorgoroth and after

[@v-7815]

Everyone, do yourselves a favor and turn on captions lmao

Really excited for new Trelldom and everything else he's working on right now

[@agnespoison]

FRANK you are the best interviewer ever! Even Gaahl likes to talk with you 🤘🤘🤘thank you so much🤘🤘

[@SkillCult]

Wow, weird tthat they cut the part at 14:28. When this was first published, he said "Lately I just stare off into nothing, but I'm really good at it!" It was hilarious. One of the best gaahl interviews moments ever. So unfortunate.

[@jacklynland3109]

This was just what I needed to start my day ! Thank you for this interview Metal Injection! One of my few crushes since High School !

[@jeice779]

If GAAHL had any higher video quality he'd be a poser.

[@neuroleptika]

Much love to Gaahl

[@Wandering_Nowhere]

The interviewer has a a hell of a rapport with Gaahl.

[@matthewwalsh974]

Gaahl is one of the most interesting and creative figures in all of rock music in my opinion. The range of expression he brings to what is traditionally just white noise vocalizations is just unreal. When he sings melodically, it is with such power and conviction too. Been a massive fan of this guy's work since hearing "procreating satan" for the first time way back when.

[@norwardradtke1361]

One of the last truly great living legends of music. More so than people like Maynard. Gaahl is a whole vibe, with Norway and black metal behind it, he’s not just a musician. He’s a Norse shaman

[@archstanton4365]

Pest lives near me, outside Nashville. I think he's a school teacher.

[@bmoremetal]

Gaahl seriously needs a microphone

[@oceangraveproject]

When he smile for mistake i think, i cry for joy

[@NublarLodge]

4:00 now I wonder what the conversation with Infernus was about..

[@chessforfunonly1586]

Funny contrast between the 4K poser hi-res interviewer and the lofi Gaahl video and sound quality, which is TRVE KVLT.

[@Flux799]

Would have been funny if he sat there for 22 minutes and then said ..............Satan.

Ask him about how he (and that idiot KOH) tried to steal Gorgoroth and had to step down once the courts ruled him an idiot.

[@HelloVisitor]

This interview somewhat changes my opinion of Gaahl. Still think he and King Ov Hell tried to sabotage and ruin Gorgoroth, and still see him as a cringey edgelord, but this shows me that he isn't a complete moron. I wish he would speak from the heart like this more often instead of just trying to say edgy nonsense like the whole "............. Satan" thing.. That kind of cringey bullshit just gives Black Metal a bad name. Yeah I get it. He was probably trying to scare christians or whatever, but it's not scary, and it's definitely not cool or "kvlt" or any of that. Just wish he would be himself... But then again, this dude gives me all around bad vibes. So maybe it's for the best that he's just an edgy poser.

[@norwardradtke1361]

You don’t get it at all if that’s your opinion.

[@norwardradtke1361]

Stop watching his videos and listening to his music then

Yeah I’d have to agree that you just probably don’t get it if that’s how you feel.

[@HelloVisitor]

@@norwardradtke1361 update. Yeah you were right. I just didn't get it. So I took some time to listen to more of the music and watch some other interviews and stuff. I'm still not 100% sure that I completely get it. But I do have a bit more respect for it now. A lot of it is pretty deep. I guess gogoroth is just not my personal favorite band or anything. But I see the appeal now.

[@HelloVisitor]

@@user-bv9nc8cr2f yeah. I totally didn't get it when I posted that comment. I spoke without understanding. Dumbass thing to do. But I took some time to try and understand it though and I have a bit more respect for the band now.
