Anyone who ever had the privilege of sitting down in deep conversation with Selim would at least would agree that he was engaging, intelligent, and an incredibly real individual. Funny as hell and intense dude. Glad to have met him
I fall into The spaceless space, The timeless time, The endless end. Neither here nor their, Above or below, Into the night I go. Endless support and respect for this documentary. Hails.
Very insightful documentary. I thank you for such a very unbiased and humble outlook on Selim. You have done Selim proud with this one. Such a shame I never got to witness them live. I will always regret being unable to attend his rituals. What a remarkable and talented human being. Amazing family as well, to support his decisions with such selflessness, very rare for families to be so supportive of suicide. So moving.
I will always recall my 6 hour conversation with Selim, Farida, and the Insolitude guys with fondness. Such an insightful and intelligent, interesting dude. No bullshit.
I saw them on that tour also. Insolitude, followed by The Devil's Blood, followed by Behemoth. That was a great fucking night. Alrosa Villa, Columbus Ohio.They've recently demolished that venue, so now it all lives only in my memories.
GREAT documentary on a man I greatly respect. Not exploitative neither voyeuristic , just FACTS and VALID opinions with the people who knew him best ... very good indeed - I couldn´t praise this post any more. THANKS !!!
A finely made Docu with pure soul behind. Respect and Praise to Selim's family from the deepest realm of the heart. Selim, may your free soul now have the serenade and majesty beyond. Eternal Respect.
it's kind of surreal he kind of echoed the feelings of Jon from dissection about reaching an end point and completing his purpose. Jon wasn't depressed, but still kind of surreal. it was really powerful seeing Erik that moved by it. one of the best metal bands I've ever heard.
Patrick Timmermans geen probleem! zoals je kan zien is er nog altijd veel liefde en bewondering voor Selim en zijn levenswerk, en terecht! ik denk niet dat Nederland ooit nog een soortgelijke muzikant zal kennen. nogmaals dank voor de documentaire.
Lots of memories, the TDB years brought to me... so many rituals, so many nice people I met...I will never forget the dignified funeral... YOU will never be forgotten SL !
Patrick did some amazing job here, i wish i could meet this legend, he seems so much more open to dutch music than any other "vanilla" journalist that i might let him hike on my journey through the deep spots of it, which might go even deeper here.
thank you for the sub titles. i had no idea warner wanted to sign them. what a gigantic loss not just for rock but music in general. can't help but wonder if ghost was signed in the devil's blood's place.
There will never be another, such an amazing talent. The one thing they don’t really get into is that musically, they were so badass and unique. I don’t consider the “album” that came out after the thousandfold epicentere a real, true album as it is very incomplete. Everything prior to and including thousandfold.. is remarkable. I’d been a fan of Iron Maiden and guns and roses, and never expected to hear a good band that have strong elements of both in their signature sound, but here we are! I will be forever grateful to RUclips for suggesting this!
@@anschn7166 his last project was really peaceful, and I think it's because he already decided to take his own life and felt peace in that, which I understand because I've been there. It was so different from the devil's blood. Like he turned hippy in his last days lol. I never actually listened to Faridas band.
I know that E (Watain) thinks of crying as a strength, rather than as a weakness, but this is the first and only time (so far) that I've actually seen him in tears.
Reviving the Ancients Yes, in an interview for Sweden Rock Magazine some years ago. I don’t think you can find it in English or online at all for that matter though.
I didn`t see him saying that (and in which context), but i would say that is very true. Since crying is a soul, not ego thing. Things that are called weaknesses by ego, are in fact strengths of the soul. And if you are real you, you cry when your soul is crying... you don`t care if it`s accepted by society or not. So crying in front of others (much more for men, i would say) is a sign of strength and true spirit and not the other way around. Freedom requires courage.
The Devil's Blood offers a very unique and beautiful sound, I love their music but am sad to here about Selim I fall into the spaceless space the timeless time the endless end neither here nor there above or below into the night I go
Is it my imagination or Erick Danielsson is about to cry almost at the end of his statement, I know he is still a human being like every one of us after all but I never thought I would see that kind of feeling on this guy
I can imagine, I never meet him in person, but I'm a very big fan of his music, and still, the day I found out that he was dead, I felt terrible, almost sad...
Death and loss are still painful for even those who keep themselves near to it. I think for people like Erik and Selim, it might even be even more so because of their intimate spiritual connection to it.
@@panzertiger7845 Put yourself into Eriks shoes man. How many dear friends can you lose, even tho he is on the side of the oppositon. There aren´t many people a person like Erik can trully befriend.
A respectful documentary. I was not that familiar with nor him.or the band, heard of them and a few songs only . It is hard to accept a decision like that, specially for a parent. His mother must have been a wise woman
The fact that erik danielson is sadly emotional means a lot how big this guy was, he could be a king in a world of fools but he took the quick way out. I met him once during a concert in the baroeg, i wore a roky erickson shirt and that happend to be his fav band. I got backstage and had some nice broodjes kip, got a EP and tshirt. Great guy.
Selim was so fucking amazing, just a brilliant musician, that solo on that he plays on at Superskum with Watain on Watars of Ain is probably one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard, what a gift to music he was. Let alone The Devil's Blood, as a musician myself I'm in awe of his legacy.
I see a lot of comments here lamenting Selim's depression and explaining it as the cause for him not willing to live. To your information: Everyone has the right to do with his or her life what he or she wants. Selim did whatever he wanted to do and had peace with it, and we should all honour his decisions. He left us with some legendary music, a music that has a message for all of us, and I feel that this message still has not been fully understood by many of those in the comments. He provided us with hints at the truth of the universe: nothing lasts forever, all will succumb to time, chaos, and death. It might as well be better to act as the subject and not as the eternal object, suffering from decisions we didn't make. Rest in Chaos, Selim. Praise to your life, praise to your death. F°ck all humans, hail the spirits!
My light is fading out.. But you are welcome. And thanks for the fantastic ritual i was allowed to attend. For me, who has basically no reason to live on, the real struggle is to withstand all inner and external attacks this struggle is reason enough and a real free man , spritiualy, should face these forces with a fatalist smile. Banish any inner snaketounge that promotes earthly removal, instead, fight back and stand your ground, be reinforced by the attacks. Because its our enemies we serve, not our allies, if we commit suicide.
Thank you for the translation. I still find his suicide somewhat shocking and am stunned how his family reacted to it. I wondered if he considered that he didn't have to go through with it? Probably.
Nope, they were always totally aware of how he felt and thought. He was completely open with them. They kind of treated it like terminal cancer. They enjoyed the time they had left with him as much as they could. I know it sounds kinda fucked up, but chronical depression is really horrible, they knew he didn't enjoy anything and he tried a multitude of therapies, none worked. Same as with cancer at some point you stop going to chemotherapy and just accept fate.
chill dude, i once had a roky erickson shirt @ baroeg rotterdam and he took me in backstage for a free beer, broodjes and tdb EP plus shirt. Twinsoul, rock n roll.
Één van mijn persoonlijke helden. Niet alleen muzikaal. Hoe eerlijk hij in het leven stond, siert hem echt. We zouden allemaal een beetje meer als Selim moeten zijn, de wereld zou een mooiere plaats zijn, daar ben ik echt zeker van. Ook ik ben chronisch depressief en al dat taboe daarrond altijd is vermoeiend. Er zijn nu eenmaal mensen in het leven die niet gelukkig zijn met wat er op deze aardbol allemaal gebeurt. En ofwel ben ben je hypocriet en verzuip je verder of je zegt waar het op staat en toont je ware gelaat. Je kunt niet alles wat lelijk is verbloemen. Gelukkig was zijn muziek wel te verbloemen, zelden bekijk ik muziek echt als een kunstwerk maar bij the devil's blood klopte iedere penseelstreek. Je moet wel een beetje van harde muziek houden om daar echt op die manier over te kunnen nadenken. Het enige jammere aan het hele verhaal is dat met zijn dood een van de mooiste kunstwerken in mijn leven mee begraven is waardoor ik het nooit echt heb kunnen beleven zoals ik dat wou. Maar ik respecteer dat dat een deel van de boodschap is, dat ondanks dat muziek voor altijd zal blijven bestaan, het gevoel van de belevenis maar zolang ter beschikking is als de kunstenaar dat wil. Nu is het alleen nog een herinnering, maar da's oké. Ik ben alleszins al blij dat ik deze muziek überhaupt heb mogen leren kennen en dankbaar voor alle deuren die er daarna open gegaan zijn. Of hoe ze zelfs vandaag nog een inspiratie voor vele bands zijn. En voor vele mensen.
...i 've been listening to the heaviest bands since i was a teenager...i'm 48 now...bands like Mercyful Fate and Venom and Roky Eriksson and Slayer ...i never got confused about Satanism and all that crap...u can just enjoy the music...what is terrifying about this good video is that his sister did not try to make him change his mind...it is such a pitty...the guy was not free ...he thought he had the final word...satan and all that crap had the final word...such a tragic loss.!
Its complicated man. Selim had the right to do with his mind and body what he wanted to, like all of us do. Selim had a serious illness that couldnt be seen. So did his father. I was angry at him too for a long time. I cant be so selfish anymore. I'm just glad he left some music.
hi there, i'm going to have to disagree with you on some things here, and i normally never do this but.... you.... and your "opinions"😒👎. the man had depression, that was ultimately what caused him to want to end his life... even if you've experienced depression, you don't know what it's like to live his life, so i think making a judgement about his choice to commit suicide is a little bit silly. i think his family is amazing honestly, what good does it do to try and make someone change their mind? he might feel like his family didn't understand or couldn't handle it and might stop talking about it with them and just sort it out privately. his family loved him and respected him enough to to accept be present with him during troubled times... i don't think his suicide had anything to do with satan...🙄 (no disrespect intended with the emoji's, i'm just playing.)
I disagree the the statement that Satanism was the driving cause of his suicide. He suffered from depression long before he fully embraced Satanism. If anything, I feel like his Satanic religion extended his life and gave him the fire he needed to produce the incredible music he left behind. Satanism or no, his death by his own hand was most likely inevitable.
The Sephirotic/Kabbalistic tree contains 10 Sephiras(spheres) and 22 paths bethween them. This "tree" and its spheres are basically the diagram of all existence. With the sphere Malkuth(material world) at the root/bottom and the sphere Kether(God) at the top/crown. The number 33 signifies the conquering and mastering of all 10 spheres and 22 paths thus becoming God. This is why Jesus died at 33 and the highest masonic rank is 33.
@@PhoenixRising166 Selim is same both in Arabic and Turkish but Farida is Arabic. The Turkish version of Farida would be Feride. But who knows, the world is vast and the cultures are in constant interaction.
You´ll need to do some more reading on what The Devil´s Blood was actually about then. TDB was more black metal than most black metal bands ever will be. Selim practiced what he preached, whereas most black metal bands these days seem to use Satanism as a facade to appear mysterious. it's quite a sad sight, really. Besides, he was not just ´friends with Watain´s singer´, Selim was their live-guitarist, he wrote and recorded guitartracks for their Lawless Darkness album. In return Erik has written lyrics for The Devil's Blood as well. If you put Watain and The Devil's Blood next to each other and delve deep into their lyrical and musical contents, you'll find they are both very much alike.
@@MforceArts i dont know the band or the guy so ill take your word on the lyrics and ideology (going to pass on your recommendation to read up on them as i dont particulary care about the man and the music is, to me personally, just kind of annoying really). I do know what black metal sounds like and this is not it. If the very incarnation of lucifer himself made rap music, that would not be black metal either. And theres nothing inherently wrong with that. To me this just sounds like some female fronted heavy metal band. Even if they are more "real" satanists than many black bands. Im not trying to bash anything or anybody here but i stick to my original comment
@@svendebruyne2057 Fair enough. To each their own, of course. However neither Selim nor anyone else in TDB ever claimed that they are black metal. Of course they aren't. To me, what they are is Rock 'n Roll in it's purest form; and let's not forget that rock 'n roll in it's primal form is and always has been the Devil's music. This is where my comment about them being more black metal than most black metal bands comes back. The core of those two genres very much share the same origin in it's true form. Over the decade that diabolical essence has faded drastically. Especially now that we're in an age where there's literally thousands upon thousands of bands. But I believe that is also what made TDB special, Selim was able to tap into that essence. And I think that, especially for people who share the same beliefs and ideoligies, that's the reason they feel so attracted to their music.
@@MforceArtsi understand your point and youre not wrong. my thing was just that the video gives you the impression that this is about black metal, while its really kinda not. His music to me personally is not at all my thing but thats ok. Doesnt hurt to learn about new things though so thanks for the explenation. Just wouldnt have watched the rest of the video without the sort of misleading intro. cheers!
Worship nothing and nobody, certainly no mortal man, nor any (dark) entity or force. The former is ridiculous and the latter dangerous: in the end, forces like that laugh at the hubris of mankind and the illusion that man can bind, rule or use them with rituals, symbols and offerings. You're just a disposable tool to those energies.
@@divinaluz7 I thought that was his phone number. Now, I've played with Watain some 17 years ago and don't think too higjky of them. They are successful and they worked hard for that so have to give them credit for that but all the rest. Nah. Especially this Satana Claus thing.
kirkelie666, they show an absolute decrease in depressed people's brain activity, which results into a lack of serotonin, which plays quite a role in normal human functioning, as well as other problems. At some point a depressed brain can become so affected by the disease that its owner will lose any contact with reality and start hallucinating nonstop. Such people are often diagnosed with schizophrenia and schizophrenic depression and only when all kinds of antipsychotics fail to work, it becomes obvious that the hallucinations and mania are of a different origin. I have seen such patients myself. Their brain inactivity goes so far that hormonal treatment doesn't even help or brings only an insignificant relief and such patients have to undertake EST or TMS.
@@kirkelie666 you evidently have no idea what you are talking about. Depression has to do with chemical imbalances in the brain, a medical condition like Diabetes or cancer. It runs in families, cannot be cured, only treated with varying degrees of success(or not)... I have been dealing with Depression & PTSD most of my adult life(I am 53 & a disabled military veteran). No one would ever think to tell a person with cancer "oh, snap out of it - you just want attention - you can if you really want to", etc. Depression is NOT a choice.
@@plan913 Christian on a mission, what do you expect? If you need a cage of rules to strangle all life for yourself, you surely demand it from everyone else as well.
@@FilthyPhilify I’m just wondering what this moron is watching the documentary for when there is plenty of Jesus juice on RUclips to drink. I’m sure Selim is right where he intended to be., as it should be.
@@plan913 because those ppl conscience is filthy af and they have to project themselves in order to feel better with theirselves. Selim has more peace than they'll ever have
Every once or twice a year I come see this interview to pay respects to Selim. It gets harder seeing the interview and how the Mother shows her body expressions because deep down I know she regrets not getting help for him. He is a Legend and needs to rest in chaos.

RIP Selim!

No.
eterno
Pretty unique......
...i 've been listening to the heaviest bands since i was a teenager...i'm 48 now...bands like Mercyful Fate and Venom and Roky Eriksson and Slayer ...i never got confused about Satanism and all that crap...u can just enjoy the music...what is terrifying about this good video is that his sister did not try to make him change his mind...it is such a pitty...the guy was not free ...he thought he had the final word...satan and all that crap had the final word...such a tragic loss.!
Its complicated man. Selim had the right to do with his mind and body what he wanted to, like all of us do. Selim had a serious illness that couldnt be seen. So did his father.
I was angry at him too for a long time. I cant be so selfish anymore. I'm just glad he left some music.
hi there, i'm going to have to disagree with you on some things here, and i normally never do this but.... you.... and your "opinions"😒👎. the man had depression, that was ultimately what caused him to want to end his life... even if you've experienced depression, you don't know what it's like to live his life, so i think making a judgement about his choice to commit suicide is a little bit silly. i think his family is amazing honestly, what good does it do to try and make someone change their mind? he might feel like his family didn't understand or couldn't handle it and might stop talking about it with them and just sort it out privately. his family loved him and respected him enough to to accept be present with him during troubled times... i don't think his suicide had anything to do with satan...🙄 (no disrespect intended with the emoji's, i'm just playing.)
@@Chief-Solarize all of us except women
I disagree the the statement that Satanism was the driving cause of his suicide. He suffered from depression long before he fully embraced Satanism. If anything, I feel like his Satanic religion extended his life and gave him the fire he needed to produce the incredible music he left behind. Satanism or no, his death by his own hand was most likely inevitable.
33? Think he developed a Jesus complex?
That was immediately what popped into my mind. This one author whose book I read killed himself on June 6th of 2006.

You are talking about Jason Moss I guess.
@Ben Lagou, yes.
The Sephirotic/Kabbalistic tree contains 10 Sephiras(spheres) and 22 paths bethween them. This "tree" and its spheres are basically the diagram of all existence. With the sphere Malkuth(material world) at the root/bottom and the sphere Kether(God) at the top/crown. The number 33 signifies the conquering and mastering of all 10 spheres and 22 paths thus becoming God. This is why Jesus died at 33 and the highest masonic rank is 33.
@Joe Ward yes. That's why 33 signifies all these things. Because it's going BEYOND 32.

I dont see what this has to do with black metal, other than the fact that he was friends with watains singer? 🤔
You´ll need to do some more reading on what The Devil´s Blood was actually about then. TDB was more black metal than most black metal bands ever will be. Selim practiced what he preached, whereas most black metal bands these days seem to use Satanism as a facade to appear mysterious. it's quite a sad sight, really. Besides, he was not just ´friends with Watain´s singer´, Selim was their live-guitarist, he wrote and recorded guitartracks for their Lawless Darkness album. In return Erik has written lyrics for The Devil's Blood as well. If you put Watain and The Devil's Blood next to each other and delve deep into their lyrical and musical contents, you'll find they are both very much alike.
@@MforceArts i dont know the band or the guy so ill take your word on the lyrics and ideology (going to pass on your recommendation to read up on them as i dont particulary care about the man and the music is, to me personally, just kind of annoying really). I do know what black metal sounds like and this is not it. If the very incarnation of lucifer himself made rap music, that would not be black metal either. And theres nothing inherently wrong with that. To me this just sounds like some female fronted heavy metal band. Even if they are more "real" satanists than many black bands. Im not trying to bash anything or anybody here but i stick to my original comment
@@svendebruyne2057 Fair enough. To each their own, of course. However neither Selim nor anyone else in TDB ever claimed that they are black metal. Of course they aren't. To me, what they are is Rock 'n Roll in it's purest form; and let's not forget that rock 'n roll in it's primal form is and always has been the Devil's music. This is where my comment about them being more black metal than most black metal bands comes back. The core of those two genres very much share the same origin in it's true form. Over the decade that diabolical essence has faded drastically. Especially now that we're in an age where there's literally thousands upon thousands of bands. But I believe that is also what made TDB special, Selim was able to tap into that essence. And I think that, especially for people who share the same beliefs and ideoligies, that's the reason they feel so attracted to their music.
@@MforceArtsi understand your point and youre not wrong. my thing was just that the video gives you the impression that this is about black metal, while its really kinda not. His music to me personally is not at all my thing but thats ok. Doesnt hurt to learn about new things though so thanks for the explenation. Just wouldnt have watched the rest of the video without the sort of misleading intro. cheers!
And this ladies and gentelman is a short history of PTSD

Worship nothing and nobody, certainly no mortal man, nor any (dark) entity or force. The former is ridiculous and the latter dangerous: in the end, forces like that laugh at the hubris of mankind and the illusion that man can bind, rule or use them with rituals, symbols and offerings. You're just a disposable tool to those energies.
and everyone is a disposable tool of their own personal gods
WATAIN FOR EVER.
Erik is a dork
How old are you? 15?

@@divinaluz7 I thought that was his phone number. Now, I've played with Watain some 17 years ago and don't think too higjky of them. They are successful and they worked hard for that so have to give them credit for that but all the rest. Nah. Especially this Satana Claus thing.
Depression isn't a disease. That is all.
kirkelie666 It is. It is caused by a kind of brain damage.
Леда Леда wrong.
kirkelie666, have you ever seen depressed people's brain MRI scans?
kirkelie666, they show an absolute decrease in depressed people's brain activity, which results into a lack of serotonin, which plays quite a role in normal human functioning, as well as other problems. At some point a depressed brain can become so affected by the disease that its owner will lose any contact with reality and start hallucinating nonstop. Such people are often diagnosed with schizophrenia and schizophrenic depression and only when all kinds of antipsychotics fail to work, it becomes obvious that the hallucinations and mania are of a different origin. I have seen such patients myself. Their brain inactivity goes so far that hormonal treatment doesn't even help or brings only an insignificant relief and such patients have to undertake EST or TMS.
@@kirkelie666 you evidently have no idea what you are talking about. Depression has to do with chemical imbalances in the brain, a medical condition like Diabetes or cancer. It runs in families, cannot be cured, only treated with varying degrees of success(or not)... I have been dealing with Depression & PTSD most of my adult life(I am 53 & a disabled military veteran). No one would ever think to tell a person with cancer "oh, snap out of it - you just want attention - you can if you really want to", etc. Depression is NOT a choice.

@@FilthyPhilify I’m just wondering what this moron is watching the documentary for when there is plenty of Jesus juice on RUclips to drink. I’m sure Selim is right where he intended to be., as it should be.
@@plan913 because those ppl conscience is filthy af and they have to project themselves in order to feel better with theirselves. Selim has more peace than they'll ever have
so will you, see you there
Every once or twice a year I come see this interview to pay respects to Selim. It gets harder seeing the interview and how the Mother shows her body expressions because deep down I know she regrets not getting help for him. He is a Legend and needs to rest in chaos.
@Joe Ward I know Farida is the sister I’m talking about the mother the older lady getting interviewed.
