I still remember when I first hear Kaatharian Life Code, that last part made the hairs on my arm stick up,it was so badass. Blaze is a damn good album.
He has already done a track by track commentary on A Blaze In The Northern Sky. Should be on RUclips. Don't know why he hates the album so much, to me it's a 10/10 album. One of my favourite records of all time.
When man merges with machine, Fenriz is the only human consciousness worthy of being preserved and surviving for all eternity. Fenriz is humanity's treasure.
Dude is almos 50 and he hasn’t aged one year. God, the metal life stile keep your youthful days intact. Anyway, I’m pretty sure Fenriz is the guy who rescues all the Norwegian kids that get lost while filming their amateur BM videos in the forest.
I love his connection to distorted guitar being like most or snow spray, a synesthesia-like thing where the onomatopoeic timbre is like a natural element
it's always great to see Fenriz. thanks to him and DARKTHRONE I'm a big fan of Darkthrone & Black Metal bands. as a Dutch guy I always wanted to learn the Norwegian language it's fascinating.
I created a couple of playlists of Fenriz's non metal albums/artists that he recommended or talked about in various interviews. Amebix is part of it, but there is so much more, the man is a music nerd, and way more open minded than your average metalhead!
Jan Pospíšil - My thoughts exactly. And hell, any other cat(s) who seemingly dig the music of *Death Side / Sacrilege / Puke / GBH & Asta Kask* as much as a old fucker like myself does, always warrants the utmost respect in my books, as well. And most definitely *Fenriz* is no exception to that rule in that regard either.
Being Fenriz´s age and into Metal for at least the same years he is I can safely say that when I 1st purchased this LP it was the equivalent of listening to Celtic Frost´s "Morbid Tales " or/and Bathory´s "The return ". A milestone indeed. Title says it all.
"Its just Radka Toneff, for now, who sets a smaller ecological footprint than DarkThrone. And that is of course because she is deceased" Hard to argue against that :D
Varg is probably seething in his dry toilet hearing Gylve say that lol. "My kids give my family a larger ecological footprint than him! DAMN IT, GYLVE! YOU WIN AGAIN!" hahaha
That sound... pure magic. If only modern music, even the most complex and proggy one, could sound this way... to me the sound of early Led Zep and King Crimson, as well as Darkthrone of course, is still unparalleled. I can barely imagine how amazing bands like Tool or Kayo Dot would sound today if only they would record their music this way.
I too loved when my Dad drove through puddles. The wave of water and the powerful rush of distorted white noise that came with it. That to me is Black Metal 🤘🏽
Wasn't a fan of Black Metal last year, but lately I've been getting into some of the first wave stuff, like Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer, and (early) Sodom, and I've been creeping ever closer to second wave like Darkthrone and Gorgoroth, so we'll see how it goes!
Depends on which meaning of 'cold' you're after. Cold as a noun is 'kulde' and sounds nothing like it, but cold as an adjective is 'kaldt' (or 'kald' depending on the gender of the noun it describes) and definitely sounds a lot like 'cult' now that you mention it. :)
We are about to have a baby and are going to name him Fenris (with nods to this guy and also the wolf in norse mythology). The more i see and hear from Fenriz the more i like him, just seems like a really chilled dude.
One thing I really respect about Fenriz is he simply loves music rather then being a elitest or kvlt about it. I feel the same way about Darkthrone in general... Though every album by them has that dirty bite to it, it still sounds like Darkthrone regardless and they didn't care about being 100% pure. As fundamental as everyone says Darkthrone can be, I feel they are the best black metal band.
Norwegian black metal started with Mayhem, pure and simple. Black metal is not really a musical style at all, it can be complicated or primitive, fast or slow, necro sounding or well-produced, as long as the spirit is there. But the song Freezing Moon was completely done in the typical Norwegian style, and was officially released on the (death metal) compilation "Projections of a Stained Mind" in 1990.
Please check out the upcoming exhibition “Bad Vibes. Sonic emotions of Norwegian Black Metal” at the National Library of Norway, opening at March 29th this year. Ted Skjellum a.k.a. Nocturno Culto is participating with a brand new recording, where he reads extracts of Darkthrone´s lyrics. www.nb.no/en/blackmetal/ ruclips.net/video/mkVw8SfVz4c/видео.html
I tried to ignore the subtitles as much as possible in order to try and understand as much as I can on my own. But damn, he can mumble quite a bit at times
@@thomasellingsen1755 Is it that bad? I just thought "Hm, that's a funny pronounciation he's got", but nothing more than that. But in that case, I'll just stick to my teacher's clean Oslo Bokmål
I think back metal is very important for our cultural heritage it adds to the journey of redescovering our pagan roots. This is nice. It marked a revolution against the Abrahamic religion.

This video feels like you just found Fenriz walking in the woods by coincidence and decided to interview him
yohohohhoho indeed
I assure you it was planned this way...he is after all the spokesman for "black metal"
That's because they did, that's what I'm choosing to believe
Can't wait to hear "Old-Growth Forest Preservation!" on the next Darkthrone album
you never heard eco-black metal? look up wolves in the throne room
@@MrMatsumoto0 well yeah, they went to school..in OLYMPIA ;D
That album will be called "Bevaring av gammelskog".
Even though I do not understand any Norwegian, I love to listen to their speech. Respect for his efforts to preserve the forests
Fenriz is the cool metal older brother I never had
I still remember when I first hear Kaatharian Life Code, that last part made the hairs on my arm stick up,it was so badass. Blaze is a damn good album.
AGREE!
I remember being so confused when hearing the two different Darkthrones (one melodic death metal one black)
I remember first time hearing the opening. Goosebumps.
Would be amazing to get a Fenriz interview as long as the one with Ted! love these guys.
He has already done a track by track commentary on A Blaze In The Northern Sky. Should be on RUclips. Don't know why he hates the album so much, to me it's a 10/10 album. One of my favourite records of all time.

Absolute chad
not a coincidence that Fenriz is the only person from the OG black metal scene that Varg thinks is a good guy
@@Iriscience Varg is idiot, this means nothing
Bark at the moon all you like. At the end of the day, you're still under the boot of your lesbian overlords. Muh Vikings forests!
@@Difficultfuckhead Peace be upon my lesbian overlords
One of most influential and most incredible personality in music ever!!!! Gylve called Fenriz,pure genius
Dude is almos 50 and he hasn’t aged one year. God, the metal life stile keep your youthful days intact.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure Fenriz is the guy who rescues all the Norwegian kids that get lost while filming their amateur BM videos in the forest.
coz he sold his soul to Satan
@@kakolykia NO he sold his soul to Manilla Road :D
Well, not touring at all definetly help him not to be tired all the time 😅
@phantom yeah no drugs, groupies or American fast food!!!
I really hope I have hair like that at 50. :3
Can listen to Fenriz for hours
Fenriz looks like a really cool dude.
Yeeah, like Nikki Sixx or Lemmy or Chris Holmes!
He is
I love his connection to distorted guitar being like most or snow spray, a synesthesia-like thing where the onomatopoeic timbre is like a natural element
Synesthesia and autism, its a powerful combination!
This guy is simply amazing.
And Darkthrone are the best Norway’s metal band since 30 years and more.
Why is he Amazing? Put aside owning the rights to kick ass band name
That background makes this interview just that much better
That background covers 39% of Norway.
it's always great to see Fenriz.
thanks to him and DARKTHRONE I'm a big fan of Darkthrone & Black Metal bands.
as a Dutch guy I always wanted to learn the Norwegian language it's fascinating.
Love the amebix shirt nice to see good bands supporting eachother
4:45 big sunglasses not Emperor sunglasses
I was looking for this comment lol
big sunglasses cool band
kinda ZZ Top look))
I love him. He’s such a cool guy.
This man is incredibly chill
Transylvanian Hunger was my first Darkthrone album. That is a masterpiece, IMO.
for someone learning beginner norwegian, its very fun to watch fenriz's interviews and see how much i can recognise from the subtitles...
Get into radio Fenriz aswell, all in norwegian. shows.acast.com/radio-fenriz-pa-norsk
Same! How's it going now?
Its always interesting to Hear mr nagell ,
Preserve our forests,
Greetings to norway!,
That AMEBIX shirt. I knew he has a great music taste.
Rock n roll gas staion!
I created a couple of playlists of Fenriz's non metal albums/artists that he recommended or talked about in various interviews. Amebix is part of it, but there is so much more, the man is a music nerd, and way more open minded than your average metalhead!
Here is the "punk" associated playlist; ruclips.net/p/PLJr6Uuxf419Y4ww82H5tR5LM_UJpD2yxK

@@why-why-whywhywhy asta kask sucks
what a beautiful unbiased interview.
Fenriz and Nocturno Culto seem like they are the same age always.
maybe check photos from your old Darkthrone albums, or look at the covers of Isengard albums
They probably are. Bands typically form with classmates from, your school in Norway
Being Fenriz´s age and into Metal for at least the same years he is I can safely say that when I 1st purchased this LP it was the equivalent of listening to Celtic Frost´s "Morbid Tales " or/and Bathory´s "The return ". A milestone indeed. Title says it all.
These guys are great. Love all the music I've heard. So far circle the wagons and old star are my favorite albums
JUST LOVE THIS MAN
"Its just Radka Toneff, for now, who sets a smaller ecological footprint than DarkThrone. And that is of course because she is deceased"
Hard to argue against that :D
Laughed before he came with the punchline, lol. Radka Toneff grew up in the same place that Darkthrone is from btw, Kolbotn.
@@Vingul Ah I did not know that. That is some cool information. Thx for sharing.
Haha, Im from Bulgaria and I have never heard of Radka Toneff before. Apparently her father is bulgarian
Hehe, he probably made that joke so he could mention a singer he likes.
Got it Fenriz ! Now let us all go and check the music she made ;)
Varg is probably seething in his dry toilet hearing Gylve say that lol. "My kids give my family a larger ecological footprint than him! DAMN IT, GYLVE! YOU WIN AGAIN!" hahaha
Thanks for this! Hail Fenriz!
The underground resistance is so epic! Im very glad I bought circle the wagons in 2010 and again in 2020 after I left the cd in my car when I sold it.
The Album Cover is timelessly awesome so is the music
That sound... pure magic. If only modern music, even the most complex and proggy one, could sound this way... to me the sound of early Led Zep and King Crimson, as well as Darkthrone of course, is still unparalleled. I can barely imagine how amazing bands like Tool or Kayo Dot would sound today if only they would record their music this way.
Cool АРИЯ patch on the back!
Old Growths Foresaw Perversion
Nice song name Fen! Cant wait to hear it.🤘
Fenriz is Best-riz
I haven't bought Darkthrone albums since Transylvanian Hunger, but I still love these guys - till the grave!
Fenriz is a Genius. Total respect
Love it, Beautiful .
I too loved when my Dad drove through puddles. The wave of water and the powerful rush of distorted white noise that came with it. That to me is Black Metal 🤘🏽
Love him even more after this.
What a fantastic human being.
he is such a great person!
Amebix t-shirt, Fenriz is awesome.
HELLHAMMER + AMEBIX + BATHORY = PANZERFAUST 🖤🪓💯
He has an Aria patch, that band is frickin awesome, it’s like Russian Iron Maiden, check them out if you haven’t
it's actually the favorite band of any drunken wannabe "metalhead" from russian countryside, but I don't blame Fenriz on this one lol
@@weaintfriendsweaintfriends7346 really? but aria does rule though
@@weaintfriendsweaintfriends7346 like Mortal Kombat here in Serbia, a band for “wannabe metalheads who think Slipknot are heavy” type of people
I know already
@@vladimircokorilo8105 I think Slipknot is heavy, Im just aware that there are more extreme stuff
Such a great album
Wasn't a fan of Black Metal last year, but lately I've been getting into some of the first wave stuff, like Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer, and (early) Sodom, and I've been creeping ever closer to second wave like Darkthrone and Gorgoroth, so we'll see how it goes!
2:26 So the word to say "cold" in Norwegian sounds like "kvlt", now it makes more sense why we say "trve kvlt" :)
Depends on which meaning of 'cold' you're after. Cold as a noun is 'kulde' and sounds nothing like it, but cold as an adjective is 'kaldt' (or 'kald' depending on the gender of the noun it describes) and definitely sounds a lot like 'cult' now that you mention it. :)
@@skauert Damn i'm getting Norwegian lessons for free, thanks buddy :)
"cult" in Norwegian is "kult" as well btw.. though "kult" can also mean "cool", lol -- only pronounced with a longer "u"-sound. The more you know ;)
yeah I don't think that is why lol
"We" shouldn't be saying anything if its not understood as what it is. Makes you sound like a talking head poser.
Legendary album.
Great interview! Thanks!
Well God damn this is a great video
Three of the best things Norway has to offer, in their respective categories: Fenriz, Darkthrone, A Blaze In The Northern Sky.
IN THE SHADOW OF THE HORNS
God damn i love fenriz. Even More now that i leaned that he likes amebix
I love this man.
We are about to have a baby and are going to name him Fenris (with nods to this guy and also the wolf in norse mythology). The more i see and hear from Fenriz the more i like him, just seems like a really chilled dude.
Oh no. You use black metal to celebrate life? That's travesty! Unless you use it to corrupt life.
It would be pretty cool to walk through the forests with Fenriz
Glad to hear that forest preservation thing
One thing I really respect about Fenriz is he simply loves music rather then being a elitest or kvlt about it. I feel the same way about Darkthrone in general... Though every album by them has that dirty bite to it, it still sounds like Darkthrone regardless and they didn't care about being 100% pure. As fundamental as everyone says Darkthrone can be, I feel they are the best black metal band.

Happy Birthday !!! \../
Big sunglasses always big sunglasses cool band
I like to listen to him speak Norwegian. It's kinda ASMR to me😀
This guy is the best
damn Fenriz looking well nowadays
how i love him!!!
God damn that newest darkthrone record rips.
Transylvanian hunger gives me the shivers!

Забавно - у Фенриза на правом плече куртки сзади нашивка Ария )))
Может у него ещё и Нива припаркована в гараже..
@@mikhailv2336, let's find out !
тоже заметил и удивился )))
This man seems to be wise.
Definitely wiser than the self proclaimed genius known as Varg the 🤡!!!!
Best norwegian black metal band
Its still my dream to play black metal in a forest, there's no Forest where I live
Kul video, digger Fenriz
I love the sound of Norwegian, Norsk. . Is why I wanted to learn it. Progress is slow but I'm proud what I achieved, so far
I tried to ignore the subtitles as much as possible in order to try and understand as much as I can on my own. But damn, he can mumble quite a bit at times
Dont learn from these guys unless you want to scare people here shitless
@@thomasellingsen1755 Is it that bad? I just thought "Hm, that's a funny pronounciation he's got", but nothing more than that. But in that case, I'll just stick to my teacher's clean Oslo Bokmål
@@wulfila99 No I was half joking. When they speak they're average most of them. Just dont copy the growling 😄
Hiking spot almost looks like it could have been Gjersjøen.
Minner om "utsikten" ved Myrvolltoppen ovenfor Gjersjøen ja, men tipper det er i Østmarka.
Chillest guy of the 90s scene
Check out the computer video that was on the reissue cd
I just realized this is the first time I’ve heard Gylve in his native tongue. What a cool language.
Skiing and blackmetal and deathmetal go very well together. But not so much with clouds of dust from sweeping.
remember, big sunglasses = cool band
3:02 Turbonegro is from Kolbotn as well.
4:42 - Ария patch
Keep it alive ,,,,dark great one
Nice, Amebix shirt!
My favorite Dark Throne album is Transilvanian Hunger. Pure Darkness.
love that guy
Does anyone know the red/white patch in his neck? (4:42)
That kinda made my night and I'm not even into blank metal.
Anyone have any footage of this guy playing drums?
nice one Aria patch :D
THE dude.
I would not have guessed any Black Metal album to be deemed culturally relevant by Norway.
R.I.P Radka Toneff she commited suicide from sleeping pills ! she was a norwegian jazz player
FENRIZ OLD SCHOOL 🍺 DRUMS
04:45 big sun glasses allways cool
I think back metal is very important for our cultural heritage it adds to the journey of redescovering our pagan roots. This is nice. It marked a revolution against the Abrahamic religion.
Old growth forest preservation is very important.
I was promised English subtitles by the video's title
Next split for Darkthrone is with ZZ Top
Op managed to spell DARKTHRONE 2 times incorrectly. 🤦🪓
