It's always great to see Erik's admiration for Dissection.
1:47 Motorhead - Iron Fist
2:27 Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
3:18 Metallica - Ride the Lighting
4:07 Morbid Angel - Altar of Madness
5:22 Nifelheim - Servant's of Darkness
6:45 Funeral Mist - Salvation
8:30 Dissection - Reinkaos
9:47 Fields of the Nephilim - Elysium 👏
11:37 Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
13:08 Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark
im surprised he didn't say The Return to be honest.
@@ianswift3521thats my pick over under the sign
Thanks! 🤘
I had the chance to see Watain opening the show for Dissection in the early 2000s. I did not know back then that this was a once in a life experience. What a package! Watain still strong and keeping the spirit alive.
I bet that show was something to behold. The energy was probably so pure and dark. I’ve always said, even before I knew how close watain and dissection actually were, that dissection had definitely influenced watain. You can feel the connections in a lot of songs and albums.
You lucky bitch. That sounds amazing 🤘
I’m so envious
Dissections Storm of The Lights Bane is in my opinion the greatest album ever made!
Would be also in my Top10 (besides Lightning funnywise)
Personally I find The Somberlain more raw and adventurous.
Very high in my list too
@@GregDineen It's definitely more adventurous. Most tracks are probably not as easy for most people to get into. In any case, Dissection is my favourite band, and I love all the three albums.
You're not wrong.
This is an excellent interview!
I agree on the Nifelheim album. So brutally good and overlooked. The Dissection album and Morbid Angel are in a leauge of their own.
Deicide
I really respect Erik as a musician and visual artist and he has GREAT taste in classic metal. The only ones of these I don’t have are Funeral Mist and Nifelheim and I might have to get them as soon as I can. I love how he clearly adores an epic or cinematic quality in metal - I get that same feeling when listening to classic Metallica or Black Sabbath or even Bathory or Dissection. These are all great picks.
Btw - the latest Watain is really sick and I’m hoping they’ll at some point make it back to my city. They haven’t been here since before the COVID-19 epidemic. Please Erik! The U.S. West Coast loves Watain!
that nifelheim is getting a reissue in about a month's time.
Awesome. Great video.
Bathory - Under The Sign of the black mark - an absolutely epic album. Erik has a very honest taste imho.
Under the Sign
@@nihilzahak7112 Of course, thnx ;)
RIP Timo Ketola. A titan of underground art and dedication.
I was born in 74 and was given a lloyds complete system in 79 when my parents switched to the big wooden bar/ Cabinet stereo system with 8 track. Master of Reality,Zeppelin III and Motorhead S/T were my first 3 albums my Mom and Dad let me borrow at 5 years old and they never went back to their rack! My whole life has a soundtrack and music has always been more spiritual and chaotic for me than just music! Thank-you to Watain for keeping the black flame burning!
Ι remember the θάψιμο you did in Greek metal hammer on this Dissection album review back then. Time proved it is a timeless gem.
Great video
Elysium is such an incredible album, meditative and incredibly beautiful. Proof that dark doesn’t always have to be heavy
Who is the artist?
@@275Ranger275 fields of the nephilim
@@275Ranger275 Fields of the Nephilim
When I'm in the mood for something dark but not necessarily metal. Fields of the nephilim are perfect especially The Nephilim album
Good list 🤘🤘
Good stuff!
Its cool that Erik isnt trying to strike a pose all the freaking time (like some clowns in the scene) but talks casually like a regular rock/metal bloke!!!
I think most posers within the metal scene are actually among the fans. Musicians are usually very cool. Safe a few exceptions, of course. Mayhem's Necrobutcher "I wanted to kill Euronymous" is a never ending classic. And Vikernes (Burzum) takes the Oscar.
Got to meet Erik last year, after a concert. He was really nice and humble 🤘 lot of respect for him and Watain.
En nyt kyllä keksi yhtään bändiä johon tolla viittaat. Sitäpaitsi watainhan on juuri isoimpia teatteriporukoita, heti cult of firen ja batushkan lisäksi. Ei siinö, watainista pidän. Mutta puhtaasti current 218 kytkösten vuoksi. Ei juuri kovin syvällinen kokemus musiikillisesti. Esim behexen, bythos jne, alkaa olemaan jo sen verran vakavasti asialleen omistautunutta, ettei vastaavia tunnu olevan.
Nää kuitenkin myy oman bändin kynttilöitäkin jne. Mun mielestä se on jo vähän selvää rahastusta, tai ei edes niin vähääkään.
@@HeathenDance What do you mean? Varg is great and lives what he preaches. The guy lives on the country side and has like 8 children with his wife. He is a primitivist. He also said he never liked black metal and was always into synth and ambient stuff.
Reinkaos!
He's exactly right about Funeral Mist. Also, I get the feeling that Arioch (Mortuus) is a very dangerous person. And in my opinion Dissection's importance to the world of Death/Black Metal cannot be stated enough.
Dangerous how?
@@marcorivas1838 You wouldn't want to get on his bad side.
Mortuus is a vocalist in a very prominent black metal band.
A musician. An accomplished musician.
Everything you see on stage and or see or hear or read concerning himself and any other musicians is of a projected character.
Scary.....evil.....mean.
Nonsense. He's making a paycheck.
People think that Mortuus is dangerous for doing that at the DNA lounge 🤣🤣
Youre absolutely right!
Reinkaos doesn't get the credit it deserves. That record was so personal to jon and he took a risk not doing what everyone expected. It's a great album. He put all his conviction in it.
Honestly my only negative thought about the album is some sections of it just sound way too produced. The songs are great and the style is still very Dissection, despite not being as extreme as the previous albums. But the clearly edited dead stop silence parts and some other aspects of the production just make it hard to fully indulge in the vibe of the album for me. Just an opinion though.
@@chris.mcewin I believe the silence was intentional but it does kind of jar some songs to a stop.
@@DeathMetalRob yep that's my only gripe about it. If the silences in those sections were more natural, even noisy in parts, it would have sounded much better in my opinion.
I agree with everything he said on Funeral Mist Salvation . Is something else .
Gotta love when BM singers are approachable and don’t take themselves too seriously aka Mortuus of Marduk. Erik is a nice guy. While at a concert in SF with The Devils Blood and In Solitude back in 2011, I was standing in line to get my ticket and I had a Manilla Road shirt on, Erik came out of his tour bus parked outside of the venue and he said to me “nice shirt”. Also, I had the change to personally meet Hoest from Taake after Eindhoven Metal Meeting 2012 in an after party and he was one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met.
Mortuus was a consummate professional at their show in Seoul and gave the crowd a lot of appreciation. He's a human being, he's not your play toy. Not every artist is sociable and wants to chat with everyone nor do they owe you anything. Too many entitled people in metal these days.
@@mandu6665 🤡🤡🤡 don’t suck his sausage so hard now, you may get a little bit of kum on your lips.
I went to the LA show that year. Erik passed by me while I was standing in line to get in the venue and talked for a quick minute. So glad I got to see The Devils Blood they were so good.
UNO DE LOS MEJORES SHOWS AL QUE ASISTI EN MI VIDA (TEATRITO BS AS)
I am in total agreement with Erik, there is also a clear segmentation in my life for before Reinkaos ans after, it was this split that lead me to also discover Watain, which in turn is another clear milestone.
I have a really nice copy of servants
2000 Black Sun Records! but ST is the Grail now! Big $$! Dissection is my #1 have a real nice collection! Erik's favourite Motorhead album is a great reflection of a true metalhead growing up in the 80s! Awesome sitdown 🤟
🔥🔥🔥Watain 🔥🔥🔥
fields of the nephilim is one of the greatest bands of all time!
9:30 a rare moment for a black metal musician, Eric looks like he's almost getting weepy discussion Dissection.
I knew that was a bit of a low blow as soon as he pulled it out.
Erik being very good friends with Jön back in the day.
Rest in chaos
Jon Nödtveidt🤘
@@kngishere395
Good to know..
Thanx for that.. 🤘
Either way though, I stand by what I said about Erik looking a tad emotional.
Barely noticeable to most people I'm sure..
Except, if you know the deep history, as we do.
Those of us who live, eat, breath and die by extreme metal..
Cheers 🍻😎🤘
@@kngishere395
No need to defend anyone.
No one is under attack. 😎
😎🍻
🖤🔥🤘🏻
🤘🖤🖤
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I love Reinkaos too.
Pure draconian satanic epicness.
@@HeathenDance true
🤘🏻enjoy the video.
Reinkaos is an absolute fucking banger, and one of my favorite albums of all time.
Maybe the best of Dissection. Love the occult lyrincs
reinkaos and in the light of darkness = ultimate.
The Somberlain ❤❤❤
Iron Fist is my favourite too🤘🏼
Another Perfect Day here
Altars of madness and first Nifelheim-albums forever (all except the last one which is not bad but still didn’t get me to 100%)
Ναι ρε μλκ heaven and hell ωραίος, Dio για πάντα 🤘🤘🤘
Dissection's Song A Land Forlorn is the Darkest Evilest Best songs ever..Where Dead Angels lie is the most beautiful.. Behemoths Blackest of the Black fukin Rocks also..Bathory should be on any Black Metal lovers list
what about immortal's blacker than darkness
hahahah
Always loved Watain! Even when the hype died down.
I think he likes Motorhead 😊
Who doesn't like Motorhead :)
Pray for Leviathan….
Διαχρονικά δε βαριέσαι να τον ακούς σε συνέντευξη τον Erik.
Αυθεντικός.
whats the album at 9:46
Fields of the Nephilim - Elizium
6:47 Devilry?
Album @9:50?
Fields of the Nephilim - Elizium
You want perfection, listen to DISSECTION. I have to be honest, I like Motorhead, but it's always puzzling to me to realize how they are ADORED and WORSHIPPED by so many bands. They have good heavy metal albums, without a doubt. I just don't capture that alleged greatness that others do. Riffs, solos, drums, bass, voice. Competent, quality and catchy stuff. But nothing groundbreaking that sets them apart from tons of 80's heavy metal bands who never left the underground. Many were actually more interesting, more creative, and technically more advanced. Just an honest opinion from someone who owns over 1000 music albums.
It is a image thing. So many people look up to them. Their attiude, how they carried them selfs etc 🤷♂️
@@storment996 Fair enough!
Except they were groundbreaking. They released their first album back 1977(it would have been 1975 if On Parole hadn't been shelved), and were doing what they were doing before any of those other 80s bands did what they did. They were on their 6th album the same year Metallica released their first album. They released their 4th album the same year Iron Maiden released their first album. They brought the punk into hardrock/metal before anyone else did. Philthy was the one who really introduced the double bass that inspired so many thrash drummers. You can't judge Motorhead by today's standard you have to judge Motorhead as a kid who is hearing Overkill for the first time back in 1979, when there was really no one else playing like that. Scott Ian is quoted as saying "Who are these crazy Mexicans, and how do they play so fast?". That was Scott hearing Ace of Spades back in 1982. There were no thrash metal albums out at that time. That's why people consider Motorhead the Godfathers of Thrash. Barny from Napalm Death called Motorhead the first extreme metal band. If anything Motorhead were THE groundbreaking band, it's most of the other bands that weren't, because they all followed after Motorhead. And I own well over a thousand albums too. Venom were groundbreaking too, but the problem with Venom is that by 1985 all the bands that they influenced were now doing what they did, but better.
6:47 pfft , that's a reissue.
Swedish bands
I think Dissections storm of the lights bane is an album that probably represent Dissection the best.
nope. reinkaos and somberlain are leagues better than that mess.
@@ianswift3521 Reinkaos better than Storm? No fuckin way.
@@daroblackheart383 every day all day forever. somberlain as well.
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:18 KJV:
funeral mist
My number 1 album would be MGLA - Exercises in Futility.
My favorite albums to from Motorhead, DISSECTION,and Bathory 🤘 💪
wtf is the interviewer on his third speed bingde day or what "motorhead". Erik can barely answer before he responds. Almost responding faster than time itself 😂😂😂 He must draw his pistol faster than his own shadow
BATHORY!!!!!!
How SATANIC is it to fire someone for giving a salute? Lame
Nazism is more dangerous than satanism for this posers.....
Set left the band of his own accord so he wouldn't bring Watain down with the controversy.
@@nrubsehcruhcehttel He didn't decide that , he was asked to.
@@nrubsehcruhcehttel And further more. Satanism has no rules. Nazi's have many.
So how hypocritical is it to ask them that have rules to step down,,,under those that PRETEND to have none?
@@wesleywarsmith1113 Set isn't a Nazi. He's Italian and has every right to throw a ROMAN salute if he so chooses, just like he chose to step away. Hampe was already filling in for him since he wasn't allowed in the U.S. for at least a decade before that.
E is prettier than my reflection... Still have ugly short hair. I look like a cute chapstick Butch who is a bit rough around thee edges who is going through infinite hells not PRETTY.
To make it worse...I like thee company ov men more than women but can never be made love to by a man because Ronnie Jefferery sexually assaulted my rear with their hand and fractured my rib. I can only have leabian sex and I look hideous to myself!!!!
No Black Metal from France, Poland, Norway, Germany, Finland etc. Only from Sweden. Homeboy is just slightly biased and one dimensional 🤣
Watain is like the Coldplay of black metal 😂
yawn
Satyricon
Yes
