BEST BM interview ever!!! Thank you for clearing up the confusion and getting his word out! This man is someone I can understand too well; one who came from a living hell that cannot be escaped and who sees the world as it is. He has an existentialism like that of Nietzsche coupled with misanthropy for the stupidity and fragility of humanity. I support his message of facing objective ideas behind suicide over subjective ones. Throwing these concepts in people's face and making them visceral is a true art that should not be seen negatively but rather as a means to grow. It takes monumental effort to overcome these things and become proactive. One of my greatest beliefs is that one climbing from a deep hole seeking to reach level-ground will have achieved inexplicable feats in their journey even though they will feel constantly that it is to their own detriment and devoid of any progress as it induces great suffering, whilst suicide is generally an easy way out. This is life - not fair and brutal. When life gives you lemons as they say. Anyway! Sorry to ramble and thank you for being one of so very few exceptional people in this world!
Thank you so much for your feedback, thoughts and insights 🙏 Agree with you as well, life is brutal but there must always be a way out, a solution, no matter how dark things may be. Many times you come out stronger.. Thank you for watching! 🙏🤘
I can't describe how much I was waiting for this interview. Thanks Lise!
I know right!! hope you like it! 😍
Best interview with him so far ! 👍🏻
Wow thank you!! We spent 10 hours with Niklas. Loved it ☠️🤘
I think exactly the same. He seems to be in shape again.
@@LiseRasmussen 10 hours? I bet you can put your own shining merch by your self. I bet it was helluva "trip" Respect! 💀💀
@@rytkosenjussi Haha thx!! Yup, no food, no rest, only tons of beer and energy from being with mr Niklas. 🤣
This is the definitive Shining interview and one of the greatest pieces of content on the internet. Thank you, I hope this video gets the recognition it deserves.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙌 Happy to hear that you liked it! 🤘
Absolutely, And greetings from Egypt. Shining's music hits different in the middle-east hahaha. 👌🏼
Thank you Lise for this interview. It`s really good to see and hear Uncle Kvarforth in relatively good shape. Heil Shining!
Finally some good and long interview with Kvarforth. Thank you so much for your work!
Thank you for watching!! 🤘😍
Thanks you Lise and Niklas for sharing your interesting talk. It takes courage to open up.
True! Thank you for watching 🙏🤘
Fascinating interview!! Thanks for this!
Thank you so much and for watching! 🤘
I usually never leave a comment, but I have to say that this is the best interview with Niklas that I have seen to date. THANKS
@@YnSz wow thank you very much for leaving a comment and watching! 🙏🥰🤘🤘
Thank you so much for asking him about Nattramn!!! That stupid reporter in the "my story as a metal frontman" interview doesn't know shit and didn't ask him further when Niklas mentioned him. You are a great reporter, keep up with the good work!!!🖤
Thank you so much! Happy to hear that you liked it and yes, I prefer to listen to the person I interview rather than creating my own version of a story. Thank you for watching!
WOW!!!Excelent interview. As the founder of Black Metal on my country i must admit this interview is so perfect in a way Niklas answer with all his ironic but honest apathy towards this disgusting earth. Thanks for such masterpiece interview leading him to a spiral of delightfull Satanic madness. Maskim Xul. HS!🤘
Thank YOU for the nice words and for watching! HS! 🤩🤘
Fantastic work! Interesting, fun and totally crazy 🤣 Love it!!
By far one of the best interviews I've seen. I hope there will be more of those in the future !
Wow thank you so much!! Our other interviews are available for free on zeezome.com if you are interested in Rotting Christ, Asagraum and more. Thanks again!! 🤘
I appreciate it for releasing this interview for free since I cannot purchase this documentary on the website from my country, I've been wanting to check it out ever since I saw the trailer so thank you very much!
Hey there! Sorry to hear that you had problems watching the movie. What error message did you get? Would be interesting to know in case someone else runs into the same issue. ZeeZome works just as Netflix, RUclips etc where you can rent a movie and use PayPal. Thank you! And thanks for watching the interview! 🤘
@@LiseRasmussenis there a way for me to buy the documentary? I'm in New Zealand and the site won't load
@@MrDamburger Sorry to hear that you had problems with the site! Unfortunately we cannot sell it. Could you please try again by going to www.zeezome.com/movie/in-the-shadow-of-the-horns/ 🤘
Thank you so much for this!
I admire this guy so much, as well as the opposite, but I never judge too harshly, because I share a very similar illness. I wanted to sniff a ball and chill with him when he played here, but I got too drunk, ended up punching him on stage, and then passing out in the streets of Toronto.
Even though I punched him, he gave me a fist bump when I went crazy for "Submit to Self Destruction".
Dude, I love this guy so much. He's a comedic genius, and I've learned the most as a musician from him.
Seriously, thanks for giving him a bit of time to clarify. Fucking legend man.
Haha thanks for the stories and for watching! 🤘🤘
Thank you so much for this!!
Thank you for watching! 🤘
thank you soo much. big fan here. this was the most interesting one i ever heard from him. Met him twice already.
Happy to hear that, thank you so much and for watching it! What was your impression?
It's so good seeing him like this. Much love. 🖤
😍 Thank you for watching!
Niklas is one hell of a character. When you meet him, you don't know what version you're gonna get. But I see he's in a much better mood now, so that's good. Fantastic interview.
Thank you so much!! Yes, he was in an excellent mood during our interview, which took 10 hours! He is awesome, super intelligent, well spoken and a super sick (fun) mind 🤘
Gonna rent the movie and watch it in the weekend, definitely looking forward to it.
Cool, thank you very much!! Hope you will enjoy it 🤘😍
@@LiseRasmussen is this the full interview with Niklas or is the one on the site longer? There is a cut in this so I was wondering if thats also in the paid version. Watching the full documentary now!
@@skade245 Thank you so much for watching! They are both the same, and the interview on our site is free to watch as well! Hope you enjoyed both!! 🤘
What a great fucking interview! I'm in love with the reporter!!! 🤩🤘🤘
Thank you 🤩
@@LiseRasmussen 😍😍
Du är en enormt bra intervjuare! punkt
det behövs bara en intervju med Niklas och det är den här...well done!
Wow, tack så jättemycket!! 😍 Och tack för att du tittade på den 🤘🤘
Great interview, with some really touching moments.
I think the "what gets you up?" part in the last part is very open and honest, but I can say from experience with depression in the past, it doesn't work just picking something to get up for most of the time.
Getting up is the natural state of things, people without mental struggles don't ask themselves in the morning why they get up, they just do.
It's not what gets you up, but what keeps you down that is the problem. It's the smothering blanket of dread.
Very insightful thoughts! Thanks for sharing and watching ❣
New album is sick. Thank you for this.
Thank you for watching! 🤘
Thanks Lis 😁👍🏻
You are welcome!
Thanks for the great interview, love shining n great questions
Happy to hear that, thank you for watching 🤘🤘
Definitely the best interview ever! 🙏
Wow thank you!!! What an honour to hear!! Thanks for watching 🙏😍🤘🤘🤘
When I listen to Niklas I know he's telling the truth, he's honest, no bullshit here, and he takes his music to perfection. I love Shining and I'm glad to see he has stabilized emotionally. I am bipolar msyself and suffering from drepressions. I know the place he's in. Thanks for this great interview.
Great to hear such nice things about him, I totally agree! Thank you so much for watching! 🤘
Thank you for this interview. Shining is one of the most interesting metal bands, and I believe that's in good part due to Niklas' eccentricity. I'm sitting down to watch the whole thing. Wow, thank you also for asking him about Nattramn!
Wow happy to hear that! Thank you very much and for watching! 🤘
Thank you for posting this video on RUclips 🙏❤😊
You're welcome and thanks for watching 🤩
Brilliant work!
Thank you so much!!! 🤘
Thanks for the amazing interview ! I love shining and getting to know more about niklas kvarforth is something so refreshing for me since I always feel at comfort with him , his music and his voice really makes me happy to see he's doing well too :) .
How did it feel having him around , the energy of it ? I'm curious to know what it feels to be around such a person ..
Thank you very much for watching and nice words! Well it was a new experience, for sure. Never met him before, but always been fascinated by him and his music. He is one of a kind, a great story teller, even though he is using drugs and alcohol he STILL is in control and I missed out on so many punch lines from him (cause I was drinking tons of beer during the 10 hours we talked to him 🤣) . When I watch the interview now, I can see that he has that glimps in his eyes and I totally missed some of his super intelligent points... I really like him, I have a feeling for people I meet and I know he has a good heart. But he is naughty and fun, so of course he ends up in trouble. I so respect his creative mind, and even though people say they hate him - they still want to watch him. Says something about him! Thanks for your interest and kind words - again 😍🤘
Tack som fan Lise! Hade knappt koll på vem Niklas var innan denna intervju, tack! 🙏
Tack själv för att du tittade!! 😍
Wow! I usually don't like watching interviews because I think music is music and private life is private life. But this was amazing, so I couldn't stop watching. Your questions were placed well and you always came back to the lyrics. I'm so much interested in the backgrounds of Shining. After a depression I thought, this music would almost have killed me. Later I realized that it has saved me instead, touched my heart under the mantle of senselessness. I'm not sure if this was the intention behind it. :) I hope he's not in trouble for using your card - and you as well, of course.
Wee happy to hear that!! Thank you so much for watching and your feedback 🙏😎🤘🤘 No we all made it, but it was scary to discover that my card had cocaine on it while walking through security check 😱😱 Think to discover that while standing in the line, I would have been caught for sure!! 😂😂
Love this man. Every worth is as real as it gets. Can’t get more authentic.
I don't belive a single word he says
This
He's been known for bullshitting a lot, but I think he's fucked up for real.
He’s really hard to figure out. He seems to not always have a good grasp on reality, bc of his mental issues
@@Joelvete6dude, he literally has psychosis and bipolar, borderline disorder plus a narcissistic personality behaviour. I met him he’s actually really cool but he fucks with people’s head a lot because he likes it ;)
Never trust a junkie!
Super interview 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Super thank you!! 😉🤘
One of the black metal musician that i highly respect 🖤🖤🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The best man on earth hands down ! GOAT
Damn, that view about gender/race is exactly what it should be. Fuck all people, race and gender are irrelevant its a stupid thing to care about. Much respect.
Agree!!! 💯
Så sjukt intressant😍
Ive heard so much rumours of Niklas but i dont care about them. To me he has always been really friendly and that matters the most.
Totally agree! People talk so much shit about him, but everyone is interested in him anyway. Hypocrisy! He was super friendly, we got so much merch for free from him that we had to say stop.
@@LiseRasmussen very intelligent and polite towards me but not towards everybody. When i last saw him he was not so good shape. Seems now that he got back on his feet. Sorry about my english, its bit rusty and i live in Finland. Thanks for good interview!! 👍🏻
@Blacksun1984 more or less yes it is. If im talking to someone and sometimes i have to think what im gonna have to say before i say it face to face. Pronouncing is the hardest part because im a dumb Finn and our language is quite different than English.
Rumors? Like what?
@@thisuserwantsyoudead well use internet its full if it..
Interesting!!
Credo che sia l'intervista piu divertente che abbia mai visto. Quest uomo è un abisso, per quanto tu possa aspettarti la cosa più illegale e controversa, in qualche modo, riuscirà sempre a superare le aspettative! Che personaggio!
He sure is!! Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching 😍❣
Lacrim, excellent taste Niklas !
I needed 4 steps to follow the whole thing.
Did Katze K. die naturally?
I never thought, that he is not good alone...
His body language tells so much more within time ...
Thank you very much for this!
Lol! I think most def that Katze died naturally. You can say much about Niklas, but I don't think he would ever hurt an animal, just a feeling I got. thanks for watching!! 🤘
@@LiseRasmussen she was the one who made him smile from the heart.
He said something about russian mafia. That was my thought.
Genuinely interesting person and that is a very rare thing these days. But credit to you Lise for an interview is only as good as the one that is interviewing.. you sparked his interest so he talked to you, if there's a bad journalist then it'll translate to a bad interview overall.
Thank you so much!! I'm not even a reporter, maybe that's why...🤔 (I work at Microsoft 🙂) I am just, like you say, genuienly interested in the sub culture, people and I pay attention to what they are telling me. I love stories and Niklas is the best story teller! Many reporters don't listen to the person they are interviewing which is sad and bad. Thanks again for your kind words, really appreciate it! 😍🤘
Älskar Niklas.
Niklas is genuine and authentic He turns his pain into premium art Blessed Be Thy... Takk Lise !
Yeah! You're welcome 🤘🤘
Niklas is the opposite of genuine and authentic lol he's a troll and nearly everything he says is lies.
@@rupe82 According to his mood disorder he can change his mind instantly. Bipolars are extremely clever . That's the fascinating complexity about Niklas .
@@rupe82 Right. And you know that because....?
when i see niklas i see myself, im also schizoaffective with major clinical depression.
Well, "here in Finland" it's not possible to get over 2 years of probation. Anything over 2 years and it is jailtime!
Good to see Nikolas raises the Pinkie when drinking, as do I!
Fun that you also noticed!! Says something... doesn't it? 🤔
❤❤❤
❤
it was mickes (nattramn) brother who who was arrested for that axe thing.
Yup we found out 👍😎
@Blacksun1984 Think so!
no@Blacksun1984
@@darkenedlegacy-y8w Tell me more!
he had an psychotic episode. he attacked some little girls with an axe and then later killed himself. it was was in the swedish paper, but i can't find article now.
i wish you went further on the satanism part
Cleo var grymt bra! 😮
Jaaa hahaha 🤣Tack för titten mr BL 🤘🤘
Y'all always thought he was just trolling. I hope you finally understand he's mostly telling the truth. As hard as it might be to accept. Good luck.
Hail Shining, support the enemy. 🔥
True words! Thank you!!! 🤘🤘😍
shining music is actually very good ,aside from Kvarforth controversial views !
see him in 2003/2004 , live with Shining, twice, followed his story for many years. I can say at last, life comes to you to take its bill.... and I don't believe him.
I actually expected to be disappointed
I had a video call with them in 2020
What did y’all talk about??
One of the main posers in metal
Posers rulez
agree@@LiseRasmussen
What makes him poser though?
Tricky Nicky
Way is the last part in english?
Im so stoned right now, and this is weirdest interview ive ever seen
😅 Thank you for watching!
trodde inte Niklas skulle vara så chill.
ok visst han knarkar under hela intervjun och säger saker som inte är så trovärdiga. men annars
ok emot slutet blir det lite obehagligt
@@_something.in.the.way_153 😆Tack för att du kollade! 🤘
You can tell this interviewer is all hot for Niklas lol
😆
Ok i dont know if this is swedish or finnish language but my question is, Is it really that common to use english in your language while you speak casually (link in this intwerview)?
its swedish
@@jonihalonen1909 😆
Not sure what you heard but we speak both Swedish and English, because we wanted him to talk in English for the movie. But he does what he wants and so we spoke Swedish half the time ;)
No i get that but what i really meant is like you throw in english word mid sentence while speaking swedish, like is that common in your language or what?@@LiseRasmussen
@@plamenvjecnogcrnila Ahaaa.I see what you mean. Yes that is quite common 🙃
Hilarious 😂
The man brags about how many people had killed themselves because of Shining, but does he ever realize how many people were saved by his music? Depressive music makes listeners feel seen and understood. There are other things that make me suicidal, like seeing stupid people being happy.
Overall, stimulating interview, just not in a way Niklas perhaps thinks. I wish him well.
fet fyr
Philklas Kvarselmo \m/
This guy is such a lame hahaha
Ask him who recorded the book release for When prozac no longer helps in your next interview.
Tell me!
@@LiseRasmussen Fredrik Sköld. An artist he met in Eskilstuna. He even drew a portrait of Nicklas in Nicklas own blood. Wonder if Nicklas kept it. It was recorded.
@@LiseRasmussen Really liked your interview. You are right. You never know where you have Nicklas. He works in mysterious ways so to speak.
@@W45P. Thank you very much and you are so right! 🤘
@@LiseRasmussenDo you know where his daughter is? 🤔
Would have been great if he wouldnt have lied so much.
And exactly how do you know that he is lying? You were there... or???
Childish stories and coloring of events that others have told otherwise. Must be pretty gullible to think that you would be the first journalist that he is honest with. He has said it himself (to you also) that he likes to mess with peoples minds, so no reason to believe that this would be the only exception.
@@OGBeardSlammer True that 👍
46:55
😆
ask him why he kissed a guy
You? 😎
@@LiseRasmussen your father
@@GuyFawkes-s3e 😆😆
Haha😂född komiker👍
it seems niklas has a history of lying, from reading the comments on his videos or him appearing in videos, to wich i question, what is really truthful / fact and what is he lying / making theater of?
Bra intervju från dig. Men... Niklas. 40 år och pratar/beter sig som den där jobbigaste ungen i en OBS-klass lol.
@@oscarius666 Tack! Man måste se det som ren underhållning 😎🎉🤘🤘
@@LiseRasmussen Jo, det är så sant så haha!
He is still finding it funny to put glass in peoples food? doesn't seem he changed one bit.
he has a very childish view of suicide, maybe he should go talk to scott connor (xasthur) see if he learns a thing or two.
Does he realise what a Joke is ?
Clearly you don't 😜
I think it's a case of if people buy into his BS then they deserve the negative effects of it. Talented musician but the Varg comments are sour grapes.
Did he open the interview by admitting to being a deadbeat dad?
Lol, what a clown. I feel bad for whatever child he's had because well, she has a clown for a dad, and then she has a mom who would have a kid with this guy 😂😂😂
Gumman är någ dålig på svenska🤨
Delusional as always
And you know that, because...?
was not expecting a black metal artist to enjoy Sub-saharan / african music culture.... very dissapointed.
What a strange taste in music cuz Burzum is crap, imo, check out Carcass instead, especially their album Necroticism - Descanting The Insalubrious from 1992, a masterpiece, imo👌
Burzum is a favorite ☠
ok@@LiseRasmussen Vi alle liker forskjellige ting👌
@@frontkjemper3648 😍
Love his SPA music 🤣
SPA music?@@LiseRasmussen
Kvarforth enjoys the company of other people more than he lets on.
True!
this dude strangled me with a bandanna when i took a selfie with him back in 2017. only time i took a selfie where i actually feared for my life
He almost strangled me too when we took the promo pics at 4 am in the morning. It was supposed to be for fun but I felt something else...😧☠😅
I met him too, he is skinny and small as hell. He couldn't hurt a fly without a weapon lol.
@@Thorhem he used to be pretty chunky around a decade ago
@@LiseRasmussen dude is literally this generation's GG Allin. lol. i actually still have the bandanna to this day. after i took the picture he said to me "take it. its a little souvenir for you" 😬
@@SuffocateMe Haha! That sounds like Niklas! Thx for the GG Allin story, fascinating, thanks!
I think you were like a therapist for him, and you might be the first interviewer he actually liked, I mean he got emotional and he was about to cry almost. 1:20:00
Haha yeah I felt like it sometimes :D He is definitely an emotional guy, and we all know what that means. Thank you for watching! 🤘
Yeah, he didn't eat human flesh but anyway :D
I had the pleasure (or is that the wrong phrase?) of meeting Niklas and each time I saw a different person but one thing was always the same - his particular sense of humour. Thanks for the interview!
Thank you for watching! And yes, he absolutely has a brilliant and black sense of humour. You have to pay attention when talking to him because he is sharp and always has a twist to what he says. Super interesting person indeed.
"My mother was always dirt poor." - "She left me A LOT of money when she died." - "He introduced me to Burzum, before all that shit with Mayhem, when I was 12 years old." I can see clearly now...... 🤨🤐
the translation lacks major parts of the whole sentence. he means that he got into burzum after being a fan mayhem
Please the next internew with Maniac
That would be awesome!! You never know... 😎
Kvarforth always makes an interesting interview
Cringe
Whatever
best interview ive ever watched. dont regret a single second of watching this
Thank you so much!! 😍😍
This guy is hilarious lol
