Marduk interview - black metal veteran Morgan "doesn't care"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- "Whatever you do in life, believe in what you do." These are the words of Morgan "Evil" Håkansson, the only remaining founding member of Swedish black metal Marduk. They played at Steelfest 2019 a special "Panzer Division Marduk" show and totally brutalized the whole fest with their awesome set.
Jerry had the pleasure of interviewing Morgan about the drummer, Morgan's world views, accusations Marduk has gotten and then some. Tune in for some 26 mins of talk with black metal veteran Morgan! (Sorry for the crappy sound quality once again!)

Marduk doesn’t waste any time. Hundreds of tours, get back to studio, record, another album, tour again, write more music. I’ve been a fan since 2002 when I was 15 and still listen to them. Honestly like I said, Morgan never rest, always busy with the band!
Nie ma czasu na żonę dzieci, szkołę dzieci, problemy rodzinne etc. Bo nie ma żony i dzieci
He makes the most sense. A true artist in my opinion. I wish he never dies.
We wish
Superb interview, really good rapport with Morgan. You've caught him in a really lucid and honest mood. Ive always admired this man.
Thanks!
Never seen Morgan in such a good mood in an interview before. Congrats to you and your questions.
Thank you very much. Maybe we had the good chemistry there and that's why he smiled? I sometimes have that effect on people.
"Whatever you do in life, believe in what you do." That's the thing that sets Marduk apart from other Black Metal bands. Great interview, Rauta \m/
Thanks, Lex!
Finally a good interview with Morgan
Thank you - this means a lot to me!
He's interview with "Little punk people" is amazing though.
This man knows the truth,that's why he's already free to do whatsoever he likes.
Maybe the best mr. Hakansson interview on YT. Thanks for that! Marduk fan here. Cheers from Moscow, Russia.
Spasiba! Glad to hear you liked it.
Hail Putin
For me MARDUK is the best Metal band, that still plays live nowadays. Their albums get better and better.
Very good interview. You can see and hear that Morgan quickly realizes that this is not the usual blabla interview with boring questions he heard million times. When he´s bored he usually switches to long monologs talking about touring and standard answers, but here its a nice back and forth.
And seeing him joking and smiling about his age, now thats quite unique.
Thanks! I think that way, too, that this was not the average and usual interview with same old boring questions :)
Morgan has always been very straight to the point and no bullshit.
I dont know what you did to Morgan off screen, but I have never seen him so cheerful in an interview before! Great interview, my favourite of his for sure.
My favourite Marduk albums are Nightiwing and Heaven Shall Burn.
Hi there and thanks for your comment. Did absolutely nothing. I just told him this one is gonna be a friendly chat, not some interview with boring questions on a piece of paper. That's it! Glad you liked it.
So lucky dude. What a chill guy for such a monster of a band, wise and calm. Great interview always a joy to watch them. Nice Marduk shirt btw! \m/
Thank you Christopher!
Thank you Rauta, finally an interview that it's not "how is the tour going"
Do one with Taake!!!
Thanks. I would love to do an intie with Taake. Let's see if that becomes possible in the future.
best interview with morgan! you got him to smile alot!!1 he never smiles!!! you can tell he really enjoys talking to you!
Thank you, Tyler. I guess you're right :)
This man understands subjectivity. He understands the vastness of the unknown.
One of the best interviews with Morgan I've ever heard. Thanks! Favorite Marduk album: Those of the Unlight!
Thanks T&T!
@@RautaMetal You're welcome. Keep it up!
@@toilandtrouble8797 I'll do my best!
It was a happy surprise that Simon Schilling got the drum spot. He's perfect!!
Marduk are the best of the best true Black Metal band in the world many years now!
Great interview once again, I admire Morgan's drive and focus on Marduk's music. My favorite album by them: Those of the Unlight
Thanks!
Art doesn't need to be explain, I like that.
So awesome to see a new interview from Morgan at last! I talked to him for a few minutes in back of a now defunct establishment in Northern Virginia back around 2013 or so for the Serpent Sermon tour. He is definitely an imposing presence, but also a cool guy to talk to. I imagine he is one of the hardest working guys in metal, seems like his tour schedule is more like a tour life than a tour schedule, and they're always working on something. I saw Mayhem play at the same venue and Marduk drew probably three times the people and did three times the show in intensity.
Yeah, very hard-working guy. 29 years in Marduk and still going very strong!
Jaxx night club? That was a sick show!
@@isaacjamesbaker Yeah that was it! Or Empire, I can't remember if its name was changed by that point, but yeah, that place, before it shut down. It does stick out in my mind as being good, I guess you were there as well! We waited around out back afterwards
@@StevensBorowsky yep! Miss that spot. Only time I saw them and I wasn't really a fan then but loved it and became one. Cool about hanging around and meeting them.
you must be talking about Jaxx. I remember when Watain went in 2007/2008 and bloodied up the stage, they were banned by the owner afterwards.
Great interview, Jerry! I've been looking forward to this one from Steelfest and you didn't disappoint! Morgan never minces his words... Marduk's creative control over the band means they rarely (if ever) need to compromise their sound, message, and so forth. I think that's one of the reasons they've been so consistent throughout the years. You even got a smile out of Morgan which is a rare occurrence! Keep up the good work! \m/
Thank you very much, Virginia. Glad you liked the interview. Yeah, a smile is a nice "thanks" to me, I might say :)
The echo was a little bit annoying during the conversation but it was a great interview anyway, you had a great friendly atmosphere with each other, cheers!
Thank you! I agree, the echo sucks hairy balls, but we couldn't help it since we didn't have better gear this time.
Amazing interview my friend. It is always great to hear black metal legends speak their mind. Always a pleasure to see your videos Rauta. Cheers and I can only imagine how mighty that PDM set was!!!!! 😍😍🍻🍻🍻
Thank you very much! Appreciated!
Brother, thank you SO much for being a great interview, for being real and for channeling your passion in such a focus and professional way. This was AMAZING. You are as amazing on what you do as Morgan is at what he does. Respect and hails from South America.
PS: Neither of you two, nor I spoke English as a native tongue. We've picked it up along the way. Just find that fact, REALLY cool! |m|
Thank you very much, Gustavo. Such a nice compliment coming from you! Much appreciated. Big hails to you!
Even the RUclips caption cant capture this quality dude
Great interview BTW
Hail Marduk Hail Morgan🤘
Thanks.
One of the best interviews you've done, I really like the way you bonded with Morgan. Congratulations!! Keep it up!!🤘🏻
P.S. I totally love Morgan's reaction when you said "When you were young", really funny and nice to see this awesome side of him🖤
Thank you, Jennifer. That's a nice compliment coming from you. Appreciated!
I like yours video's and I know black metal obliges you to low sound quality, but please ivest in the microphone!😉
Ah, it pains me to explain this over and over again, but here it goes: our main camera woman got sick and with her went the hand mike etc. We got to do this intie 2.30 in the morning so it was either to be done with our secondary camera set (which didn't have proper mic, since he wasn't meant to record this interview in the first place). So, we had to options: to do Marduk without proper mic and understand there would be bad sound quality or not do it at all. I thought it was worth the gamble.
I am planning other options with mikes, but really couldn't see this shit coming. As for Rauta, there's at the moment zero budget for new microphones.
Keep doing the best you can with what resources you have! Cheers, Jerry.
@@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth Thank you!
Another exceptional interview! I LOVE Marduk!! My favorite album is ROM 5:12
Thanks!
Thanks to Steelfest for having Marduk, the show was awesome..
Great Interview, Thank you for that! Very pleasant. Cheers to Viktoria. It is a masterpiece.
Thank you, Gudrun! Glad you liked it.
Great interview with a living legend.
Thx!
Hails Marduk!!! Longtime fan and supporter!!!
Excellent interview! I like that you always have a comeback question if the answer is "not good enough".
Thanks! That's my "policy" of asking questions!
Marduk still delivers! Thanks for this interview
My pleasure!
Morgan and Tony Saarka's work in Abruptum ranks up there as the true audio essence of pure evil
That was such a cool interview, thanks for making that possible. Hail MARDUK !!!
Thank you!
I envy and admire these guys a ton. That totally unapologetic and honest attitude is present in the music. It is uncompromising. The aspect of black metal I like most.
Exactly.
Marduk is one of my favorite bm bands. Few more days till their new album is released!
Such a great interview! Thank you so much for uploading it 😊
Thank you Missi! My pleasure!
Great interview! Had the absolute pleasure of seeing marduk in a small bar in Kansas city a couple years ago, front row! Morgan gave me his pick! Amazing fucking band.
Thanks, man, and great story! I hope you still have the pick.
It was a very good interview!!!!!!!!! I will see Marduk again next week in Birmingham.
Thank you! Enjoy the show.
@@RautaMetal I will !!!!!!!!!
Another great Interview Jerry!
I totally agree with Morgan: let us use our minds!
Hails and cheers...
Thank you Voltmand!
I become addicted to your channel rauta ur reviews ur interviews u are so amazing keep going man 🤘🎵⚔️
Thank you a lot, Amine! Nice to hear you like the content.
I'm going to see them in the day after tomorrow with Mgla , this interview just hyped me more!
Thanks! Enjoy!
Very consistent band. Respect
This is such a fantastic interview!
Thank you!
Wow great video awesome interview Marduk is
my Favirate Black Metal Band of all time I have all their albums
have yet to go to one of their shows will one day
Thanx a lot Jerry for this video. I have always respected Marduk because they go on doing what they think is their thing and dont care about trends or what other people says. I dont like talking about what bands that are "True" or not but if I have to I think that Marduk is true. Cheers and have a great summer Jerry! Hails from Sweden.
Thanks my Swedish friend! Glad you liked the interview. Have a great summer!
Most influential Guitar player for me...Morgan N.1
Badass interview....marduk has stood the test of time theres still some legendary bands still doing what they do best which is absolutely fuckin annihilate and destroy every night they play live!!!!! Bands like incantation, suffocation,exodus, testament,marduk, deicide, cannibal corpse, grave, unleashed, DISMEMBER entombed(r.i.p)....it was the swedish scene that got me into death metal back in the early 90's id already started to hear some bands from here in the united states which there were a shit load of great bands coming out of the states but the European scene was a huge movement that i was instantly drawn to and to this day at my age im still a huge devoted fan of the metal of DEATH ❤☠️☠️☠️🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟💯💯💯💯💯💯🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬
Cheers, thanks! Yeah, Swedish scene had a huge impact here as well since the early 90s and some of my early favorites come from that scene, too. Marduk was one of the very first BM bands I heard early/mid 90s.
Great interview. My favorite album by Marduk used to be Those of the Unlight (tied with Opus Nocturne), from released until about 2 years ago, when I started to like Frontschwein more and still do.
Thanks!
I Saw them three times ln My country , and it was really interestig experience . Good interview Mr. Rauta
Thanks!
Hey Jerry you’re videos are just pure quality. Keep it up.
Thanks Deadpool!
The great marduk has come
it was interesting conversation ___ i'm impressed with Morgan's thinking...
Thanks!
I should have put on my Marduk hoodie while watching this. Great interview. My favorite Marduk albums are Frontschwein, Dark Endless, and World Funeral. I also love the Obedience Ep. Marduk's cover of Into The Crypt of Rays is what made me a fan. Love the cover of Earth A.D. too.
Cheers!
I swear I could smell that burp at 8:00. Hail Morgan!
Good interview I could hear everything fine and I have tinnitus (ears ringing) 🤘🏻
Thanks! And I'm sorry to hear about your tinnitus - it's very irritating!
HAIL MARDUK!!!
Lol it felt like Morgan always knew in advance what you would ask him, great interview.
Thanks!
I love Marduk. I still remember checking out la grande dance macabre for the first time 20 years ago and was totally addicted.Strangely enough Morgan cites the album as his least favourite yet it’s my favourite then panzer division Marduk.Fredric Anderson my favourite drummer was on both albums and their best frontman and vocalist Legion!I have all the albums after the two left but I still think the best Marduk material was with the line up Legion,B-war ,Fredric Anderson,Morgan .FairPlay go Morgan though the bands released plenty of high quality albums and he’s never sold out.
Strange that "La Grande Danse Macabre" is my least favurite and together with "Dark Endless". But it is a way of self setting ansd taste what YOU need and want to hear, what fits you well. It's like with shoes or clothes = you simply don't put on ones that you don't feel like you're yourself. And when you choose MARDUK it's like food = you need it but there is plenty of menu to choose which the "master chef" Morgan prepared and served over the years. ;)
I will arrange a marduk show one day in libya ,
Real good interview Rauta, respect!🤘🏿
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
great questions and enteraining interview!
Thank you!
Legend.
thanks hail Marduk morgan / M /
Great interview Jerry 🤘🏼
Thanks!
Amazing interview as always. This is up there with my favourite "Beer tasting with Archgoat". The Blood Chalice and Satanic Warmaster interviews are right there closely following. Love the activity/interest based interviews, drinking craft beer or working out, adds a fucking great touch. Far stretch but an interview with Mikko would be killer
Thank you a lot! Well, I asked Mikko but he's not up for video interview, I'm afraid.
@@RautaMetal Classic Mikko. Keep up the great work. One of a kind delivering great top notch material
Ollie Wargoat Thank you, friend.
Marduk the Top band. (Russia) 😎
I will buy cds till they don’t sell them anymore. I just want to have a physical collection that i can enjoy whenever, not have a digital one that goes to shit as soon as the computer crashes.
Killer interview! Great work, Jerry!
Thanks!
I really like your channel and your opinions on all things you have shared. Great interview! Marduk is one of my top 5 bands of all time which lead me to this next question. What is your opinion about swedish Shining (another top band of mine)? I looked for some review or interview of them in your channel but I think you don't have one yet. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I do like Shining a lot - at least some of the albums. I haven't reviewed them yet since they haven't release anything lately, or at least I haven't gotten a review copy for review. But I have asked from Kvarforth's ex-fiancee if it would be possible to do a Shining interview at some point and she said it might be possible!
@@RautaMetal I would like to see that in your channel at some point in the future! You are doing some great work. My best wishes for your channel to grow bigger and stronger so we all can see more content of bands we love! Greetings from México!
Yeah, I hope to get it done as I think he's a very interesting person. Than you so much for your words. Hails to great Mexico (been there once, last January actually).
@@RautaMetal Interesting, I am also from that country. I hope you had a good time there, and went to some metal gigs or ancient ruins. I second an interview with K, despite his unpredictable reputation, after all Finns always have a knife handy unless I'm mistaken ;)
@@afz902k Unfortunately couldn't attend any gigs and missed ancient ruins, too. But saw quite a nice bit of nature. I so much want to go back to Mexico!
It's only good to have knife if you know how to use it. Knife is a terrible tool. Check into Piper or some other knife-fighting styles if you want to know more.
Cool! So, which is your fav album with Marduk? Mine is Opus Nocturne.
Panzer Division Marduk! I already made a classic review of that a few months ago.
Plague Angel!!!
Interesting interview. You're a good interviewer.
Thank you! Much appreciated.
Few can tremolo pick as fast Morgan.
One the best interviews
Thx
This and the 2 parts with Inquisition
Great interview my friend , keep on rockin 💀👍🔥
Thanks Chris!
The sound should be better. It deserves that. Awesome interview as always. Very genuin. Ave!
It should but nothing we could do about it. Sorry for that. Thanks!
@@RautaMetal Can I have an adress and send you a really good mic?
@@ennordiskman9915 Well of course if you are really up for that. Care to send me email or contact me on Facebook? You can find my email address on Rauta's info page.
@@RautaMetal
I dont have facebook but I will send you an email. I would like to suppport the channel.
The new album might be my favorite because it has a song about the Tiger 1 and I adore that tank model. It's a toss up between Viktoria and Panzer Division
killer when you make this review with him
Great job, Jerry! Thanks! \,,/
Thank you, dear colleague! \,,/
Always nice to hear mr . Steinmayer,
Viktoia tour in the states please!
Great interview!
Thx!
MARDUK!!! My 2 favorites are 'Panzer Division Marduk' & 'VIKTORIA'. Greetings!
Viktoria lol
@@stevennicholas714 thanx, I corrected ;)
Another great interview I enjoyed it .
Is it true there are some kind of rivalry between Swedish and Finns ? I can feel the tension lol
Thanks. I don't think there's any real rivalry between Sweden and Finland if we talk about metal. In sports, especially ice-hockey, of course!
Superb interview, Rauta.
Thanks!
Legion era "Nightwing, Panzer Division and Live in Germany" all lifetime favorits 💪(good interview)
Thanks!
Very good interview as it is always pleasant to listen to Morgan's thoughts. I am always curious what is this man about to say and drag on the light from the past. Also it was very nice to heat that he is in touch with old members like Andreas "Dread" Axelsson, Joakim "Av Grav" Göthberg and Roger "B.War" Svensson. Also I think that he is in touch with Lars Brodesson and Devo Andersson as Lars had worked with Mortuus on last two Funeral Mist's albums "Hekatomb" and "Deiform" which are absolute killers. But one thing about this interview and that is echo and sound. Sometimes I simply don't understand what is the speech about. 😢
I’m glad that you enjoyed the interview. Yeah, the sound sucks and that’s because earlier during that day my main camera person got sick and had to leave, with our microphone with her as well and thus the sound sucks. I hope some day we will make a new Marduk interview and we can then do it better.
@@RautaMetal But great atmosphere! Let's take it like Nargaroth albums which have cacophonous quality of sound but astonishing atmosphere and are pure gems among black metal releases! 😃
kova haastattelu !täyttä rautaa niinkuin aina
You two are very cool guys :)
Thanks!
Hail Marduk!!!
First heard Marduk In the mid 90's kicked my ass from Day one.
Same here. I think I heard Opus Nocturne first, probably 1994.
Great Morgan
Great interview.
Thanks!
Great interview
Thanks!
How come Mortuus doesn’t do interviews
I don't know, but actually I preferred Morgan since he's the only original member.
