Proscriptor McGovern is a legend. Amazing interview.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks!

[@Chad_Fuckhammer]

Amen

[@pedrocariasantana3395]

One of the best interviews. These guys, besides being smart, are consistent and know very well what they say and where they want to go.

[@RautaMetal]

Aye! This interview is my personal favorite of 2019!

[@tax_evad3r]

Great interview! Nice to see Proscriptor talk about Absu

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks :-)

[@Bhazalt]

High level Interview here.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks!

[@bluesfortheredsun]

I see Proscriptor I press like.

[@Kerry_kit_slayer]

Man, Proscriptor really lives up to his name with all those wordy answers. But he's an intriguing fellow and his honesty is so genuine. Was really cool to see this side of him, rather than just the ghoulish creature screaming from behind a kit. As always Rauta - great interview with very engaging questions for your interviewees. Thank you for doing this.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[@Chad_Fuckhammer]

22:00 "I am crazy" 😂

[@brandijohnson1326]

Proscriptor is always deep with his answers I love that!

[@nizamaroth]

Finally found the kind of black metal that infuses classic prog, jazz structures, and classical arrangements in equal measures for majestic masterpieces...thank you for this intro, Rauta!

[@RautaMetal]

My pleasure. Glad you liked it!

[@odinsfolly6525]

Tidy relaxed interview with superb Greek legends. Ultimately non materialistic true believers that produce sublime music from the heart!! Long may they reign, maximum respect. Rauta ,it was great to meet you in Glasgow love your channel keep up the great work!!

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks for your comment. Was nice to meet you too!

[@shoheiimamura4067]

Absolute fucking Legends! Respect and Love from the USA!

[@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth]

Ive always liked Zemial, but never realized that i could listen to Vorskaath talk all day haha. Having never seen him before in interviews, I didn't expect that particular accent.

[@andrewcunningham6957]

I can't wait to hear these new Zemial albums.

[@Chad_Fuckhammer]

Absu is so good

[@MjmanDK]

I wish I had known about this total bromance before their show. I probably would have enjoyed the show even more if I knew how much fun they have on stage together! It really was a great show!

[@_____oo1159]

A little late to the party , but what a rad interview with two legends ! I actually watched it twice tho ! Cheers !

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you! Better late than never.

[@Pablo-ye3bt]

Perfect end year, very comfortable interview. All the best , and see you next year!

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you Pablo! Happy new year!

[@deadharvest29]

Just discovering this now, as I have recently delved heavily into Absu after years of neglect. Fantastic interview. I must admit I’ve never listened to Zemial, but I will now.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks. Gixe Zemial a chance. A good band!

[@hellhound480]

Funny: I was sitting in that lobby probably two days earlier and jaw dropped when impaled nazarene walked in

[@RautaMetal]

Nice!

[@gammasulttaani]

One of the best interviews I've seen on Rauta! These guys are really ideal for an in-depth talk, it's both very well formulated and genuinely passionate. I had the pleasure of interviewing Proscriptor face-to-face about Absu several years ago, so no surprise from his part, heh. Seen Zemial live once before and Absu a couple of times, but hoping to catch this collaboration sooner or later as well!

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks for your comment! This is my 2019 favorite as well, maybe my all-time favorite even. Where did you do (or still do?) interviews for?

[@gammasulttaani]

@@RautaMetal It was back in 2013 for a print-zine called Enslain. Not involved with that one anymore myself, but got something new bubbling in the cauldron... I'm pretty confident you'll hear more about it in the near future. ;-)

[@richardpenanet]

Excellent interview, looking forward to those new zemial albums!

Thanks.

Arrrgggg. I am, you are, we are the dark. Thanks man, zemial is amazing.

You're welcome!

[@DieInSolitude]

Truly great and thoughtful interview. I always get hypnotized when seeing/listening to weird (in a good way) Proscriptor talk. Plus first interview I've seen with Voorskaath. There's a lot of knowledge "concocted" between these guys.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks!

[@jonirissanen3038]

Greek band called disharmony is great. New band To me.. From greek Comes many many. Great bm bands. This band is somehow New To me.. So, i must listening them, zemial.

[@bjgross7910]

I heard there was a new Absu album in the making, i wish Proscriptor could have mentioned it. Hails Rauta!

[@RautaMetal]

Yep. There is. We spoke about it a bit before this interview.

[@tax_evad3r]

He said on his facebook page that it's "right around the corner", so hopefully we'll hear more soon!

I had no idea Vorskaath would be so erudite and eloquent in a second language.

Zemial was basedin Australia for a really long time, then Germany. His accent sounds like a combination of English spoken by an Aussie, German and Greek.

And he did great job with Slayer drums btw. I think there’s still a video of that on KZbin.

[@natekankelfitz9735]

@@RautaMetal They are still up. I think it's for the better that he didn't get the position since it would result in most of his time being consumed by slayer and less with other works.
