Darkthrone Interview - Fenriz Home Story

[@yuzde43yanmis]

@Joe Sudz So let's say "cvlt" but ignore what fenriz did to underground music scene and call him a dork. I mean at least glorify an underground band before you call darkthrone overrated because ihsahn and emperor are just as popular as darkthrone if not more.

[@jamdwhi]

A lot of metal musicians like to say that they want to stay underground and that they don't want fame. I usually roll my eyes and call bullshit. But this guy is not kidding. They could be towards the top on festival bills and probably make 100 grand per performance easily. Yet he chooses to live in a shitty apartment and just live for the music. That's pretty awesome right there. Even though I'd love to see them live.

[@jamdwhi]

[@jamdwhi]

+Gaddaffi “Gadaffy Duck” Duck Yea those things are risky business. Best of luck to you.

[@jamdwhi]

VicRules666 Do you realize she makes over a million per show right? 100 grand might be a bit steep for Darkthrone, but nonetheless, they could make a fuckload playing festivals cause so many people would kill to see them live. Solo shows, they wouldn't make that much though, obviously.

[@TheMartini1234]

100k is not uncommon for a mid-sized band like they would be if they played festivals

@@mikehunt8992 Venstre is not a leftist party but a center right party. And would be close to a modern American new right. Meaning, minimal state, free market. Pro country. Pro native peoples.The leftist parties of Norway are at direct odds with Venstre. I understand, people dont want to believe that their black metal heroes are nationalist. Pro native. Anti migrationist. They always have been. Always will be. Its what black metal is. It was pro ancient northern culture. Anti judeo christian culture.

Like Varg said "he was always drunk"...

[@friedrichschopenhauer2900]

But he still said he liked him too.

[@ogelsmogel]

Fenriz said in some interview that working as a mail-man saved him from alcoholism, so there's no doubt the guy likes to drink..

[@bitterhet6669]

I can fully accept people with anger issues or being "a bitch" as he put it as long as there is self-reflection and ultimately insight. Correcting oneself and admitting mistakes instead of just doubling down is among the hardest things you can ever do.

Fenriz is so shy and introverted its funny.

[@supremefantastic]

It's the opposite, in my opinion. Comparing to other black metal-musicians who (as I feel) try to have an image, Fenriz seems like he is real, himself and spontaneous all the time.

[@abigaillkruss8823]

Naah! Todo lo contrario!

[@siuginsyn]

Guessing his personality type, he's probably ENTP. I am one too, so I can recognize the traits and behaviour patterns. Yes, we are introverted even though we love to talk and make people laugh.
