Mephorash interview - Swedish black metal of unique output

[@Honeytea1]

Finally I could see the genius behind the mask. Thanks for the interesting interview! Greetings from Germany

[@RautaMetal]

Glad you liked the interview! Hails to Germania!

[@nicksenkovs1525]

What a fantastic interview, there is absolutely no other band like Mephorash, I love them!!!

[@RautaMetal]

Thx!

[@grahamashton3899]

I've recently been listening and watching quite a bit of the band and they are very good cheers for the interview

[@Rewwgh]

Mephorash is cool, I especially adore their 1557 Rites of Nullification record as top tier contemporary Scandinavian extreme metal.

[@darkgnome666]

I gave up on this band after that album.

[@salazarwarlok2244]

1557 Rites of Nullification was a great album

[@lilywhite9362]

I absolutely love this band, Shem Ha Mephorash is a masterpiece! (these +100 views are probably from me)

[@RautaMetal]

Glad to hear that!

[@TheCcmarine]

Love that his influence is Pink Floyd. You can hear it throughout their music for sure. Great interview and killer band of course. Thanks Jerry.

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you!

[@karolinahelle]

Love them very much it's transcending music and it's so mystical, one of my favorite band 🎶

[@RippersLullaby]

Very chill, talkative, and down to earth black metal musician, it is so refreshing. Good job, you asked him very interesting questions, and I liked the alchemy and mutual respect between you two (he really putted some effort and honesty in his responses , and you gave him enough space to express him-self without interrupting him). Thanks for this great interview, :)

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you for your words. Glad you liked the interview and my style with it.

[@finnishcyclist]

Mephorash is now days my number one band! They were so awesome in Turku Saatanalle live concert! And I will listen them after 500 years and more....

[@RautaMetal]

Ilari Koivusalo Glad you liked it!

[@paulus3317]

I always watch your interviews even if I've never heard of the band. You always ask good questions and allow the artists to speak. This guy seems like a great dude. Will have to check them out now!

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you like the music too.

[@cesarfuentes13]

Killer band!! Awesome interview.! 🤘🏻🔥

[@Dionysus_Drachensson]

Thanks for the excellent interview. Keep Rautaing..

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you for your support!

[@NostalgicBits]

Wow! Unbelievable Jerry! Thanks for this interview I've been following this band for a long time!🤘

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks. Glad you liked it!

[@dgnwd]

Keep doing what youre doing. The music is so catchy that i keep coming back to listen again and again

[@lillosnx]

Great interview!!!

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you.

[@rblfrmthewstdwn]

My favourite new black metal band!!

[@philippbraune4541]

I am very satisfied with your opinion about the spiritual path of the band. No limits.

[@natekankelfitz9735]

Been watching several of their live performances lately never came to mind thinking if you would land an interview with them. Great work as always.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks, Nate!

[@Stonesorrow]

This just popped up in my feed and I'm glad it did. Great interview questions and great answers, very respectful. And if you listen to the old albums, you can really tell the difference in feel between 1557 and the first albums. AND Malakhim t-shirt, nice!

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you! I hope you will subscribe to the channel if you haven't yet.

[@brandijohnson1326]

I am so glad you did a Mephorash interview I love that band and good interview🤘🏽

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks, Brandi.

[@halbeard2996]

Great interview Rauta. I like how he doesn't subscribe to any particular ideology, yet strives towards a theme that's fitting the music. Also: good ol times when starting the band with 15. Ah the memories :D

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you! I am happy with the intie as well!

[@voltmandk.h.sherman777]

Thank for the great questions Jerry! Cannot wait to discover quite soon Mephorash!

[@RautaMetal]

Cheers mate!

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Awesome interview yet again brother, kippis!

[@RautaMetal]

Kippis!

[@susac5839]

Love your music. Much love from Tucson Arizona

[@marshallore6869]

Malum playing in background at the end. Sounds like it was a good fest. Good to hear about these newer black metal names.

[@RautaMetal]

Yeah. They were among the first to play.

[@kahjoonh7790]

His final words for the interview was fuck being true and all that, but Rauta ends the show by saying keep being true made him turned and looked at him xD

[@RautaMetal]

Sometimes it goes like that.

[@richardwales1415]

This is my favorite black metal band i listen to them on the daily. They even pointed me in the right direction of black magic that i wanted to practice. All their music are master pieces and now watching this video i now know why. Just please for the love of lucifer please come tour the us i need to see this live. Thanks for the direction and showing me my true self through your music. Shem ha mephorash.🤘🤘🤘🤘😈

[@RautaMetal]

Great!

[@marshallore6869]

Good interview. I like his point about depicting an image in your mind.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks!

[@horseofunreason]

Great interview as per usual!

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks!

[@sanadamasayuki7416]

My favorite Mephorash album would be Chalice of Thagirion.

[@MortarMaggot275]

Metal (black and weightlifting), beer, interviews, reviews? This is the content the internet is for. Subscribed.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks mate!

[@gianmarcobaudazzi78]

i've seen these guys playing in the forest thanks to bmp and i was curious about them , thank you Rauta for the interview , Blood On Ice is one of my fave Bathory albums.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks buddy!

[@nyaatarara]

Their latest album is a masterpiece, next to Schammasch in terms of quality

[@douglasquaid7550]

Good interview , I find it funny how these artists that you interview almost never listen to black metal music, yet they still sound sort of the same.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks mate!

[@Rizevim]

Mephorash is so good.

[@frankilane6590]

Hello raita my long lost Finnish brother thanks a lot for this review l never heard this band before once again thanks one question what do you do in your spare time bye for now iron raita bye

[@RautaMetal]

Hi Frankie! First of all it's Rauta ("iron"), not raita ("stripe") What do I do in my spare time? I can answer that in my next ama video.

[@spackimcspack812]

Great Band and great Interview, but is it me getting older, or are all these Bands getting younger and younger?! :)

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks! To answer your questions: yes and yes.

[@SKvldlf]

Nice interview. I'm gonna check their stuff out. Is that malum playing in the background towards the end of the video? Also I see someone commented 5 days ago. I guess I just noticed this today.

[@RautaMetal]

Patreons, like you saw, had the chance to see this interview in advance, hence the comment a few days ago.

[@SKvldlf]

@@RautaMetal I need to be a little more observant. I like what he said about classical music. I say similar things. I get that way with black metal too. When a band sings in a foreign tongue but I still get amazing feelings just with how it sounds even though I don't understand the lyrics. People ask me how I can listen to something that I can't understand. I tell them I would rather listen to something that I can't understand the lyrics but is superior in art and sound than listen to something that sounds like shit and has a shit message but I can understand every word.

Lmao where the hell did they find this interviewer guy right? He's so awkward yet, sooo good lol!

[@RautaMetal]

Well, it's my channel so I found the channel not the other way around. I can be pretty awkward if you don't know me 😉 Thanks for the comment!

[@Starduster93]

Great interview. First one I know of since the release of their fabulous album in May 2019. @Mephorash : One question from me: how came it to the collaboration with G. De Laval??

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks! I am not sure if the band actually reads those comments here, so you might want to present to their some page.

[@Виктор-г2и9с]

Black Metal:👍👹🖤

[@TERGENIS]

Jerry! You have a phonecall! It's your mom! haha just joking Seriously. Its difficult by younger bands to break through, but larger bands they try. Look at Marduk how they went taking Doodswens on tour. More bands should be like that. Like Belphegor and Dark Funeral

[@RautaMetal]

My mom is cool, so it's fine 😎 But about bands and warm-up slots: you do realize that sometimes warm-up bands have to pay for their slot? It's not always free.

[@TERGENIS]

@@RautaMetal Reminds me Years ago with the tour with Liar Of Golgotha and Cradle Of Filth.They left some debts at the label concerning tourbus costs. Vincent Meelhuysen told me himself.He was the main guitarist for Liar Of Golgotha

[@RautaMetal]

Okay

[@maksimsulchanov6154]

[@RautaMetal]

You mean like genius and super cringy at the same time?

[@maksimsulchanov6154]

@@RautaMetal like a boss 😀 like a leader - dictator. Like genius too, albums are going like one long song, sometimes you dont know where is start and end.

[@RautaMetal]

A fair point!

[@maksimsulchanov6154]

@@RautaMetal sorry for my english, but i'll try 😀 Sanguinem - epic song, but it's much more epic wen going not alone, but after Epitome and before Shem ha Meporash. The same like Another brick in the wall pt2 - it's about nothing witout Another brick in the wall pt1 and The happiest days of our life.

[@RautaMetal]

Yes, now I understand what you mean! Nothing wrong with your English, brother!

[@MrJoshItIs]

He sounds stoned

[@shirazzrazz9141]

His face like mcgregor....

[@MultiZoXx]

I’m kinda upset, that they aren’t Satanists.

[@RautaMetal]

Why?

[@Mephorashband]

Satanism today is in a lot of ways just another dogma, just like any religion. We decided to not limit ourself to any "belief-system", and instead keep an open mind to find wisdom and illumination through everything. We use whatever tools we seem fitting to achieve our goals and reach further enlightenment. The best way to describe us would be occultists, but as I've stated before: to label something, is to limit it, and limiting yourself goes against the very nature of striving to become your own god and creator of your own reality.

[@RautaMetal]

@@Mephorashband Very well answered. Thanks!

[@MultiZoXx]

@@Mephorashband Maybe I misunderstood some of the answers. Since your lyrics are very occult ''Satanic'' based. I thought that since you said, that you don´t limit yourselves to any type of dogma. To me it sounded like you just write what you write, but you don´t live or believe in it. I fully understand and support your way of thinking. Focusing on one thing and one thing only will just stagnate you, and you wont progress in any shape or form. Even Satanists need to have an open mind :p. I love your music and Hails!

[@Mephorashband]

@@MultiZoXx yes, you indeed misunderstood. It's the total opposite of what you said, we are extremely dedicated and devoted to what we do and to the concepts we sing about. We don't write just for the sake of writing. Every word, note and beat of the drum is carefully thought out and poured from our soul. The point I was trying to make is like I wrote previously: We try to build our own world of the esoteric. Instead of falling in line behind rules on what you should and shouldn't do under the flag of satanism, we build our own reality. I don't want to label it, because it would only lower the value of what we do. We use whatever tools we come across, whether it be from Devil worship, Vodoo, Vāmācāra, the Qliphoth and so forth. We don't want to zone in to some narrow path of only one thing, instead we use all the tools at our disposal to reach the thing we truly believe in and that we ourselves create. To gain gnosis, to gain wisdom and to ascend from this reality, to a higher one. We will do whatever it takes to reach what we strive for, and we won't let the boundaries of humanity or the common perception of our reality limit us.

[@MsLostdiamond]

Mephorash is great but seeing his face lost some of the magic..

[@RautaMetal]

I know what you mean: when I first time saw some of the 90's bm artists without corpse paint and stage attire, it seems like something lost at that point. As I've gotten older, it doesn't matter anymore as I know anyway there's no real mysticism.

[@MsLostdiamond]

@@RautaMetal yeah its exactly that. Anyway they are a great band

[@RautaMetal]

@@MsLostdiamond Yes and great live too!
