Ride for Revenge interview - a man of many talents: Harald Mentor

[@SamuelBlackMetalRider]

RIDE FOR REVENGE worshipper since 2007, total support, Harald Mentor is the Man

[@hungryclouds6403]

Yet another great interview, Mr .Rauta! It's great to have video interviews conducted by someone actually versed in real black metal and not some outsider scene tourist. These are gold - your effort is most appreciated.

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you very much for your supportive words. I do my best!

[@joshww2339]

Watched this interview 3 times. Absolutley groundbreaking. FINDLAND UBER ALLES

[@RautaMetal]

Three times? Wow! Thanks!

[@beataoudinot9420]

I'm only watching it now but extremely interesting and I thank you for all these quality interviews. Continue like this. The funny thing is Harald Mentor's size compared to Rauta, he looks like a Jötunn, an ice giant in Norse mythology :)

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks Beata! Yeah more interviews will be coming, especially thanks now to Rauta's Patreon support. Harald is indeed a tall guy whereas I'm relatively short (1.74 m) so that's the contrast :)

[@beataoudinot9420]

@@RautaMetal Yes indeed but don't worry i like you like that. Otherwise I knew Harald Mentor because under a compilation of the Polish group Capricornus, his name is mentioned because it was he who remastered the different tracks, I highly recommend the group, a sound quite unique in its genre, I warn , it is NSBM.

[@RautaMetal]

Aye. I know the band. Harald is involved in a lot of things and bands since the 90's. Thanks for your comment.

[@Misanthropic-Forest]

so many great rare interviews on this channel with artists from Finland and elsewhere. keep up the good work!

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks Evan!

[@middle_aged_metalhead]

Thanks for this. Great interview. Ride for Revenge has been one of the most exciting Finnish bands of the last 10+ years for me and up there with Beherit and Barathrum in my personal favs.

[@RautaMetal]

My pleasure. Glad to hear you liked it.

[@karlhaikara1629]

It was awesome finding out about his documentary from this, went and watched it and it was awesome, we need more documentaries of BM made by people actually involved, it was definitely one of the best BM documentaries I've seen.

[@RautaMetal]

Yeah, it's a good one.

[@ChuckSneed88]

An absolute GOAT, can't wait to see the new stuff he's working on

[@joshww2339]

You have already established this channel as the best on KZbin. But, now you've also achieved the best interview. Thanks so much for your efforts. Hail Harold !

[@RautaMetal]

My humblest thanks to you fellow metalhead!

[@słobodanigewski5481]

Last few weeks I was watching Rauta interviews and I saved this for last..not least of course. My friend from Skopje, Macedonia released killer Ride For Revenge vinyls, t-shirts, longsleeves etc. He re-released King of Snakes on vinyl and will release double vinyl compilation this or next month. I became fan when he played to me a video from RFR live performace few years ago...I can't remember when exactly. Very unique band. I like their music very very much. Keep up with your channel. I doubt that someone else on youtube have epic interviews like you have.

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you very much, Slobodan! Those are some very nice supporting & kind words. And yes, RFR is a unique band for sure. I don't think there's any other that can be compared to that in style.

[@alexfou3814]

I m looking for some hoodie do you have a link, or if i look for the king of snakes release you mentioned, is it easy to find?

[@h.w.8160]

Epic interview, and epic beard as well :D

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks!

[@voidritualblood666]

I don't even finished of watch the full interview and already I know this is pure black gold.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks!

[@hbehain4441]

I really enjoyed the black metal documentary. One of my favorites.

[@funeralfiend3618]

Excellent in-depth Q&A and, just an overall great interview... Bestial Burst is a great Label/Distro. and who the fuck doesn't like something released by RFR. cheers.

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you!

Will Over Matter is criminally overlooked.

Good to see this! 🤘🏻

[@svartframtid5539]

A great interview. Mentor is a cult personality. Ride for Revenge is a unique band with its own recognisable sound. And Loputon gehennan liekki was interesting to watch.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks! And indeed you're right.

[@romualdmorvan1168]

Thanx, another great and interesting interview🙏🙏👍👍👍

Proof you're 1.40 m tall, hehe. Looking forward to watching the entire interview!

[@RautaMetal]

Indeed! I am quite short guy to be honest. Some 173 cm. Harald Mentor then again is a tall guy. Hope you enjoy the intie!

@Jimmy Elvis Yeah I'm like 5'8".

[@Haunting8893]

Rauta is there a way to purchase physical copy of Harold's documentary? What is it's title?

[@RautaMetal]

I'll ask!

Thanks. Well, somebody probably just doesn't like my face and opinions, so let them put thumbs down. It doesn't matter :)

Well said, Heppä Tyttö. Finnish nature is beautiful.

[@Zyklon_B_still_and_know_God]

I thought Joe Rogan was doing the interview from the thumbnail

[@RautaMetal]

Haha, thanks for the compliment. Me and Joe Rogan have a lot in common. I'm sure him and me would get along fine.

[@gammasulttaani]

A cool interview, cheers! But I'm curious, how come it took this long to publish it? I have been following Harald's undertakings for a long time, he's such a genuine underground maniac with an ear for a wide variety of stuff from metal and punk to electronics and beyond. Respect! Also a jovial fellow, I've come to know. :) Ride for Revenge in particular is a band whose recordings and gigs I keep a close eye on. A unique primal force to be reckoned with for sure! And well, for those who have issues with his politically incorrect involvements, I think he already put it well in this song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZusp6WMfNCtna8 Controversy surrounds me / You cannot figure me out / Warmonger among your people / I am one with the underground

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you. The thing is, this kinda got buried under more important work. Unfortunately so. Got forgotten and got into queue again. The downside of not having any budget for the camera crew or editor. So, I can't really push my editor since I really can't pay this person. And yeah, he's a great guy with interesting opinions and true ug maniac. Much like me he just doesn't fit into one single political box as much as some people try to do that. I think with these rather darkthronish lyrics he says it all.
