Rauta you are the Joe Rogan of black metal interviewers. Cheers
Wow, that's one of the best compliments ever! Thanks!
a trick: watch series at KaldroStream. Been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Mayson Nehemiah definitely, I've been watching on KaldroStream for since december myself =)
Shatraug is an absolute musical genius. What an amazing man. Thanks for the interview man! Hails from Australia.
Thanks for your comment! Sargeist interview with Shatraug and Profundus out next week!
@@RautaMetal A friend told me you might have one with Goatmoon coming? Is that true?
Great interview. Horna are legends in Finnish Black Metal.
Thank you Jerry for such great interview. I've been a fan of Horna for quite some time. This band never failed to me even when I've lost interest in a lot of black metal bands that lost the roots so to speak. Shatraug seems to be very quiet, insight, passionate and thoughtfull person that is finding the right words before answering. I admire his work so much.
I’m glad to hear you liked this interview and the band of course.
10/10
I like the length of the interview, one of your best interviews.
Wow! Thanks!
Wow! Huge thanks for that! Finally interviews and with Horna themselves!
My pleasure! Sargeist soon too.
Thank you for this interview. Spellgoth is one of my favorite musicians to hear speak about things. His insight tends to align.
Glad you liked it!
Great interview, seem like great guys, spellgoth is always so well spoken and friendly in your videos.
They're both great guys!
So excited that you interviewed Horna. The new album is fantastic.
Great work Rauta! Was good to hear from these guys.
That's what I was waiting for , thank u
Thanks for posting, its great to get their perspective and context for the people behind the music. I wanted to watch this interview long before it happened.
They are one of best Black Metal bands to see live
Cheers from Bogota, Colombia
Jerry, this is a phenomenal video. The Master Shatraug on a video interview for the first and possibly last time. That shaved-head geek is one of the most important Black Metal icons and one of the most creative Black Metal musicians ever. The number of memorable, infernal, and evil riffs this man has produced single-handedly cannot be compared to anyone in the whole Black Metal scene, at least I am not aware of anyone. He actually established the fact that *Black Metal is the Music for the Lucifer and Luciferian Wisdom and Illumination* (of course in the broad sense of The Concept of Devil not just as a creature with horns), and nothing less is expected. of course he doesn't care about any of these and as he says he lets the music do the talking. I don't know what to say to appreciate such a great job Jerry, but Thank You! I wait for the second video interview about The King of Finnish Black Metal, *Sargeist* ...
Thank you man! Well good news for you: Shatraug is also on that Sargeist interview!
@@RautaMetal I know man, I have seen the photo of you, him and Profundus (I wouldn't deny that I would have loved to see Torog as well but anyway). These are absolute jewels, and I am not sure whether people really appreciate it, and what makes this video even more unique is your questions which are not dumbass boring useless ones. Of course, one obvious point is that he cannot precisely convey his message and what is in his mind in English. So, I wish I would understand Finnish and then this interview was in Finnish. At some point, I tried to learn it but it is a very difficult language man ...
@@luciferianilluminations Thanks for your words. I am pretty sure you will like the interview. Torog then again has said to my Behexen interview request that they don’t find video interviews suited for them. I am also glad to hear you don’t find my questions dumb and useless.
I’ve read that Finnish is one of the hardest languages to learn because of grammar etc. But maybe over time you will learn it!
@@RautaMetal Jerry, no joke and flattery, you are elevating the level of Black Metal community (and also Metal community as a whole but since I don't listen to other types of metal, I won't judge). Your work is absolute gem! No other channel could be compared to yours. I have not put even a single comment in other Black Metal channels but I really enjoy to participate in your comment section and I hope it doesn't bother you much. Again thank you for the great job and keep it up.
Regarding the Finnish language, I found the words and their pronunciation the most difficult part, for example just consider the name of Horna's album or the word Sielunvihollinen for The Devil, it is quite hard man ...
@@luciferianilluminations Thank you very much for your sincere words, sir! I am glad to hear you feel this way about my content & the channel. For me this is a personal passion and of course I hope to do my part to, as you say, elevate and improve the community. I want to give the artist a platform where they can talk and be themselves as they are. I understand that not everybody likes what I do and it's okay.
Regarding comments: the more, the better! That's why I have Rauta discord, too, so people can improve the community and talk with like-minded people.
Finnish can indeed be hard to pronounce. I guess it's easier for German and Spanish people, for example, because all the words are pronounced as they are written.
Excellent interview as always! Looking forward to the Sargeist-one.
Good stuff, looking forward to more !!
Nice, I was waitimg for this, cheers mate!
Bone chilling riffs, that's what Finnish Black Metal is all about.🤘🏻 🇫🇮
I love how thoughtful and original your interviews are. It's so refreshing to actually get a piece of their mind and you always seem to ask questions that carry meaning and never just "Yeah they released this new album it's super bad ass check it out it totally fucking rocks"
Thanks. I avoid those questions intentionally because I think they are super boring and just waste of time :)
Great interview man, seems like they are laid back cool guys👍
I hope there will be an upcoming Goatmoon and Peste noire interview !!
Great interview with Horna bye the way!!
Thanks! Goatmoon is already agreed, but covid delays. Peste Noire will be a lot more difficult one, even if the band would agree to do it.
@@RautaMetal I can’t wait!!! Gonna be killer interviews
@@RautaMetal goatmoon !!!
@@Finn-gx6ir As soon as possible.
@@RautaMetal thank you rauta your content is always treasure. Hail from the U.S
Thank you Rauta from the US! You are the best all around as an interviewer and a person! Cheers!
Thanks so much! Glad you like the content.
You have a great interviewer personality - blunt and upfront.
Thanks. It's not for everyone but they can look for interviews elsewhere. 😎👍
@@RautaMetal As Always... A man with a lot of class.
@@TheVampirio Thanks!
I love Horna!! Thanks for always make nice inrerviews. Hail
Cheers!
Excellent Rauta, great interview!
Muchos gracias!
Great interview with a legendary band
Ty
Long live Finnish Black Metal!!! Great interview as usual Jerry!!!🤘🐏🤘
Thanks BB!
Great interview!!
Thanks!
Kuoleman kirjo is an absolut masterpiece...many many Thanks Horna from germany
Listened them since 94 i think . Horna never dissapoints. It fucking rules nordic bm scene.
!! excellent interview thank you
Thanks!
Great work Jerry! It was so good to discover those 2 great masterminds of the almighty Horna.
Cheers Bro!
Thanks!
I really like Shatraug's guitar work, he's a master at dyad riffs.
legendary interview of legendary band!
Fantastic interview! It was an honor to share the stage with them on their 2019 US tour
Glad to hear!
English is my first language, and I'm always impressed how Europeans can speak it fairly well even though it may not be their first...
But sometimes in certain cases i would almost rather read subtitles as i feel like they could answer questions more naturally and be more specific in nuance if they spoke in their native language.
Either way, great interview, great channel, hail horna! One of the absolute best!
Thank you! Yes, subtitles would be nice to have, but they take so much work and time that nobody is willing to do them for free.
Thanks for this amazing vid.. Hello from Colombia.
De nada!
Excited to hear that there's more of Black Death Ritual coming up!
Great questions as always dude ! Can’t wait for the sargeist interview
Cheers!
They seem super chill. Been listening to the band for 5
years hope they release new project
Awesome!!!!! Sargeist next?
Yes. Later this month I guess.
Been waiting for this one..
Excelent interview Mr. Rauta.
Thanks!
Rauta, thats your best interview on this channel in my opinion. Fuckin legends.
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Gotta love that green army sweater Tuomas is wearing.
Finland has the best milsurp
@@Guadalajara1937 Except I think thats bundeswehr sweater
@@VonArmagedda lol
An interview, how i missed those on this channel.
I know. Thanks covid. But I'm trying to make more of them this year. Now at least there's some budget.
Great interview it's rare to see and hear the Sargeist mastermind Shatraugt🤘🤘
There's a Sargeist interview coming up later, too :)
@@RautaMetal 🥳🥳🥳
Excellent interview! Shatraug and Spellgoth are nice and humble people, same with the rest of the band. 🤘🏻
Seeing these finnish guys enjoying the food and the culture in the other side of the pond is quite unique! 👍🏻
I like when they also like! 😃
Grettings from Costa Rica!!! 🟦⬜🟥🟥⬜🟦
Muchos gracias!
Great interview
Thanks!
38:24 Thanks you Jerry, this was my question!!!! Hails from Argentina
De nada!
Great interview again!
Found it hilarious you actually asked my "kung flu" question haha. Joking tone aside, we can already see how the current pandemic affects different people (and artists, obviously!) in different ways, by seeing some fall in existential crisis and hopelessness, whereas others appear to be coping well, while so many seem to only just be beginning to discover for themselves the essence of freedom and independence. The wheat is being separated from the chaff, so to speak, nothing to with death count per se.
Well said.
Killer interview rauta hail horna 🤘👿🤘🇫🇮
shatraug seems to have an inner fight with his demons in that interview.same feeling i get out there in this world.black metal is an everyday fight!...hope hes ok...anyway...great interview... thank you very much jerry
Thanks Max!
Reminds me of myself
absolutely perfect interview!
Thanks :) A humbling comment!
@@RautaMetal but is true, perfectly done, great people Horna as usual, Spellgoth did another awesome one with one but REALLY happy to see Shatraug finally as well, the mastermind! i loved the questions and the answer, perfectly conduct :)
@@trustsatan Thank you, sir! I'm pleased you liked this conversation. You will have more of Shatraug with Sargeist interview!
@@RautaMetal awesome can't wait for the sargeist one as well :)
I hope you won't be disappointed!
They're one of recognizable, legendary finnish band...and my fav..Hail to Horna. Thanks/
You're welcome
Shatraug gives his best guitar work in everything he does. I truly appreciated his works with behexen.
I met them at the LA show they were great live and were only interested in playing live and and having a few drinks! Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam
Good and interesting interview. Majava bar is great!
Kiitos Annukka!
Absolute legends! Great interview! But... (even though I have absolutely no grasp on that language) I would have really liked it if you guys were conducting this interview in Finnish. Nevertheless, job well done!
Thanks! Even though it kinda would make more sense to interview Finnish ones in Finnish, there would be nobody to subtitle it and that's the problem. It's so time-consuming to do that and nobody wants to do it for free.
Horna is great and the guys seem chill I’d like to see them live if they come to the U.S.
Legends
I stay mostly with the 9:15 minute to the 9:50 minute. For me that's what music is all about, that's what metal is all about, even Hellhammer (Mayhem) in an interview he gave to the drumtalk channel he said the same thing when asked what blackmetal Is, "freedom and evolution of thought" is all about. Congratulations on your work Rauta, keep it up, thanks for these kinds of interviews. Greetings from Mexico City and cheers. By the way sorry for my english
Muchos gracias Alberto. And nothing wrong with your English. Muy bien!
The classic English as a second language -move, type out a full paragraph in perfect english and then proceed to apologize for your english :D

Tanks Rauta best interview Best legends bande best fans Tanks
Cheers!
Great interview... So glad that you interviewed Horna, great band and seem like nice guys. Oh! before i forget. Hail Satan!!!
Cheers!
I’m never failed to be totally impressed with blackmetal artists.For such an extreme brutal genre it’s protagonists are always seem to be able to express themselves in a very down to earth way.I don’t believe in Satan or anything but spellgoths explanation about how he see Satan was very clear and understandable.Shatraug is obviously a man of few words but even he was very clear and concise.It’s because of people like shatraug and spellgoth that I love blackmetal so much and it’s so convincing as a genre.They’re obviously brilliant musicians and performers but most are from Finland.Much respect to shatraug for staying blackmetal for so long.I sort of gathered spellgoths reference to Attila wearing a Santa Claus suite and frankly I too just rolled my eyes and sighed.Mayhem being a band I once worshiped.I loved spellgoths answer to things being different in 2021 because I can totally relate.Nothings changed for me since the so called pandemic either.I’m still working as I did before and I’ve always shunned and avoided people in general because they irritate me and I’ve not much in common with them.I don’t even care about not being able to see live bands,I’d rather stay home and hear them in my own company anyway.I’ve no interest in shared experiences other than with my wife and soulmate.Brilliant interview as always .I didn’t listen to the last bit because fans questions bore me but excellent work mate.Cheers!
Thanks for your comment and glad you liked the interview. I didn't pick nonsense questions from the fans, just the better ones imo.
Thanks Jerry 4 this interview, I think it's absolutely perfect. Horna represents for me the true essence of Black Metal mysticism. If you are in touch with Spellgoth could you please ask him his birth time?
My pleasure, Erika. I messaged him about it.
@@RautaMetal Thank you Jerry if you prefer you can email me at erikavaccari712@gmail.com
@@erikavaccari Alright!
Amazing interview 2 amazing musicians
Thanks!
i would be interested in the big anniversary Horna box they were planning a couple of years ago..
Great interview and in a way some rare the last album is sooo fucking good
Thanks and glad you like it!
Great!!! Hail Horna ,kuoleman kirjo tuli hommattua heti, kun se ilmestyi. Hornasta oon pitänyt siitä asti kun hiidentorni 90 luvun loppupuolella ilmestyi.oliko se 97.
Nice video!! Juu, hommasin määkin KK-levyn ja vieläpä paidalla varustettuna. Mutta en oo vielä kerennyt sitä kuunnella... Tänään vois haastattelun kunniaks pistää vinyylin pyörimään. Thanks Jerry - Hail Horna! 🤘
Thanks Zach!
🤘🥰🤘 Horna 👌
Horna🖤🤘🏼
Your interviews are the only ones I watch
P.S: cult band... what a source of inspiration!
Thanks!
They seem like really chill guys
They are exactly that.
Not every black metal band personel is embodiment of Euronymous : D
@@tuomasleinonen9459 Likely none.
Btw! Thanks Rauta for your good interview and overall content you have made. Have a pleasant Laskiaista 🤘
@@tuomasleinonen9459 My pleasure. Glad you like it! Hyvää ystävänpäivää & laskiaista! Muista syödä pullaa!
Fuck yeah HORNA RULES!!🤘
So glad these guys aren't stuck up arrogant black metal elites like some bands I have met years back.
Agreed!
Imagine if the other people in the cafe had even the slightest notion of self-awareness, and comprehended that three men were struggling to hear themselves during an interview that was clearly being filmed.
Indeed.
The camera angles on this are distracting with the photos in the background.
Shatraug: "interesting things."
Photo in the background: "HELLO! I AM ASS!"
Horna😈🖤🖤😈🖤😈🖤😎🇩🇪greetings from Germany
I never got into Horna. But nice interview.
OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!
A pretty lengthy interview and fascinating with shatraug and I didn't fast forward through any of it. Maybe when you interview sargeist you can ask why hoath Torog left or just what happened. I'm gonna listen to this again tonight.
I think Torog left due to the fact he created Bythos so between that and Behexen he didn't want to be juggling 3 bands.
@@natekankelfitz9735 never heard of bythos. I'll be checking it out.
@@natekankelfitz9735 I just bought the digital album
@@SKvldlf It's a good album reminds me more of the slower Behexen tunes and reinkaos era Dissection.
Glad you liked it SK. And Sargeist interview already done at the same time and place as this. Will be out for you patrons in a week or so!
The place called "EL FERROVIARIO"
Good argentinian meat!!!
Good interview. Have never gotten into Horna, tried multiple times but hasn't worked, nothing of their's has clicked with me......yet
Delighted to hear new Black Death Ritual is coming!
Thanks! Some Horna are clearly better than some others. Give their new one a go if you haven't yet.
Listen to the Behexen split and the albums with the Wizards with Corvus on vocals first
Someone get my man shatraug a top up on the drink!
🤘Hail Horna🤘666🤘😈🤘
always like your interviews, be good if you could invest in some good mics for yourself and the guests now though. listening to all the background noise isn't brilliant. shotgun mic or lapel mics pricey at first but well worth it in the end.
Ah, but already explained: we had a tech fail with this one because of new equipment. It's supposedly better with Sargeist interview at the same place.
@@RautaMetal no worries, this was first interview i've seen of yours for a while admittedly. hails from Scotland
@@heresjohnny999 Yeah, there was none since August until this one. Covid has ruined so many interview possibilities face-to-face. Slainte!
why this video is unlisted?
Not public yet. Just for patrons...
Horna es una de las mejores 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Si
KVLT!!! AVE!!!
Great interview RAUTA ! Please stop the black and white motions ;it kills the whole atmosphere of an interview live . This is 2021 not watching a movie from the 50s . My humble opinion . Thanks Rauta !!
Thanks. I can pass that suggestion to my editor.
I like it personnaly
@@erradate6425 indeed, everything's really great in this interview, b/w part, as well
🇫🇮3T-🇫🇮
Great interview, but in soundwise this like listening Death Magnetic.
I know, we didn't have that noisegate on with this one and it fucked up the sound. Well, it's better with Sargeist! We just got new equipment for this one and well obv made n00b mistakes with it. Sorry.
as raw as the music
The phonies get kicked out was classic.the problem with most usbm it got taken over by nerds
Seldomly met a more arrogant band. Perhaps the 'Civil engineers' in Belphegor. Supported both of them.
Arrogant which way?
@@RautaMetal We were their support in an admittedly total shit venue. They treated us like a bunch of roadies, refused to step aside when we had to move gear etc.
Small note: They were playing on our (good) backline.
Maybe they had an off day, but I'm not really sold to the idea of buying their merch ;)
Happened aeons ago, perhaps we all matured meanwhile. And yes: I still like their music.

I was going to hit the like button but since it is 666 right now I wont hit it. I comment that I like this clip instead (Y)

Suomeksi vaan haastattelut ja sitten tekstitykset niin saa jätkistä enemmän irti. Hail Satan!
Ja kukahan sen teksittelyn tekisi ilmaiseksi?
@@RautaMetal En tunne kanavasi ansaintalogiikkaa, mutta eikös kaikki maksa? Onhan sinulla jo laadukkaat kamerat, crew jne. En näe mahdottomana, että löytyisi tekstittäjäkin jossain vaiheessa, joko talkoomeiningillä tai pienellä palkkiolla. Saisiko sitä kustannettua tuon Patreonin avulla?
Ehkäpä ongelma on myös kansainvälisessä mediakulttuurissa, eli useissa maissa ei olla totuttu lukemaan tekstejä vaan halutaan kaikki tuotavaksi eteen omalla kielellä (tai lingua francalla). Harva varmaan on niin tottunut tekstityksiin kuin suomalainen. Rauta kanavana suuntaa käsittääkseni kuitenkin pääosin ulkomaan markkinoille, joten sikäli nykyinen kielivalinta on ymmärrettävä. Suomen kielen aseman polkeminen on silti aina vähän harmillista.
Joka tapauksessa: katseleehan näitä näinkin.
@@markushaapaniemi8489 Voin avata ansaintarakennetta sen verran, että persnetolla haastiksissa mennään, vaikkei mitään palkkaa lasketaan. Eli toisin sanoen ei ruoka- ja matkakulut vielä näillä tuloilla peity mitä reissuista tulee. Patreon-tuloilla niitä nyt pystyn toki paikkaamaan, koska nyt korona-aikoina reissuja on ollut vähemmän ja tulot sieltä ns. normaalit. Mutta jos laskee haastiksen tekemisestä syntyvät kulut (matkat & ruoka), niin jokainen haastis tekee tappiota. Harrastushan tämä onkin, koska rakkaudesta lajiin mutta sillä samalla logiikalla pitäisi myös tekstittäjän taipua samaan. En oikein näe reiluna, että tekstittäjä saisi isompaa korvausta tästä kuin minä, kuvaajat tai haastisten leikkaaja (editoija).
Jos tällainen kuitenkin tulee vastaan, niin otan kotimaisten bändien haasteloinnin suoomeksi harkintaann. Toistaiseksi kukaan ei ole hommaan tarjoutunut. Vinkkaa ihmeessä eteenpäin jos tiedät henkilön, kuka on valmis lähtemään noin nollapalkalla hommaan.
@@RautaMetal Näimpä juuri. Just mietin, että mieluusti itsekin voisin tehdä jotain tällaista, jos vain aika (ja osaaminen) riittäisi! No, tosiaan: jospa tulevaisuudessa joku löytyisi. Toimiihan nämä näinkin.
@@markushaapaniemi8489 Jep. Sanotaan vaikka näin, että sitten kun alkaa (jos alkaa) olla tulot satasia kuussa, niin voin palkata yksitäisille videoille tekstittäjän huokeaan hintaan. Mut jos tuntipalkka alkaa olla satasen tunnissa, niin ehkä sitten odotellaan niitä tonneja kuussa ;-)
Toki se mullekin helpompaa olisi jos suomeksi voisin kysyä asiat.

Shatraug seems quite weakened and upset for me here.
Weeked?
@@RautaMetal nevermind, im just a slav. Weakened and startled*
@@1stSand Ah, thanks for clearing that one out for me. Well, Shatraug is like that in real life. More of the silent type, not as talkative as me or Spellgoth.
@@RautaMetal eventhough his music is full of iron will and fanatism, I found the look in shatraug's eyes somewhat kind.
I get you.
