It was great to hear from Jesper, he is a huge inspiration to me and interviews with him are so rare! Thanks for the great interview! I feel a bit bad for Jake E though, in that the video thumbnail and title became all about Jesper, when the interview was originally for Jake! Hopefully he didn't mind.
On top of death metal, Jesper was also a crucial part of Hammerfall on the first three albums. The songwriting was the best in Hammerfall's career and it's no coincidence that Jesper is credited on nearly every song on Glory To The Brave, Legacy Of Kings & Renegade. Jesper was part of bringing metal back into good standing with Hammerfall in those days
With all respect to Jake and Cyhra, but when Jeppe joins the conversation jesterhead mode is on. We are all desperately want to know more about Jesper, his time in IF, his contribution to songwriting, his inspirations, way of writing music etc. Next time would be awesome to do it only with Jeppe with a bunch of questions for him. His swenglish is more than understandable. Cheers
This has become my favourite metal podcast. Clearly you came up through the mid-late 90s extreme metal scene and share most of the same tastes that I do. Another solid guest! Jester Race and Whoracle are both pivitol albums for me. I worshipped Jesper for years as a young fan. I can't wait to listen!
Thanks mate! Yeah, my invested years were from 1994 to 1999. I made it a mission to get my hands on every copy of Metal Maniacs and spent hours chatting with people on those GeoCities websites that had message boards, all through dial-up internet. To me, all the crucial albums from that era remain the pinnacle of extreme metal. In Flames' material, in particular, stands as some of the greatest - and it still holds up!
I've been binging the hell out of these interviews. I was 18 years old and got into in flames, cradle, covenant, dimmu. I was there for all this shit back in the day and it's awesome hearing all these interviews with metal legends.
I started doing it because nobody else was. I’m going through all of the iconic bands and all of the great musicians, so I’m not gonna stop any time soon!
@@ScarsandGuitarspodcast Thanks man, it's much appreciated. Because of you I now know Astennu is back in action, has a new album on the way, and practicing to go tour with The Kovenant. I never stopped listening to new music, but there's something special about so many of those albums from the late 90s. Listening to your interviews I've learned so much about what was going on behind the scenes while on my side I was pre ordering my copies of albums like cruelly and the beast from rocking horse in Brisbane.
@@Timzdametal Jamie (Astennu) is a good mate these days. He’s overlooked but I’m working on changing that. I’ve got something in the pipeline that should rewrite the narrative and share truth of his colossal impact on black metal.
@@ScarsandGuitarspodcast I'll keep an eye out for it. I still don't know why dimmu didn't work out, other than he says he wished it had worked out. I was a massive fan of Galder from Old Man's Child back in the day so I was torn when he took Astennu's place on puritanical.
@@Timzdametal there are good reasons, I can't say much but all shall be revealed in time. By the way, it's great to connect with a fellow metalhead in Brisbane; I'm headed to Sanguisugabogg and Disentomb tonight at Brightside. If you're going to be there, say Gday. I'll be wearing a Krsiun T-shirt.
The soul leaving In Flames is exactly what happened. Even the new album, which is pretty good, doesn’t have a lot of soul and because of that it lost a lot of its staying power.
I think Jesper kind of prefers that right now. I think he likes someone else to step into the conversation. And they were also in a time crunch for another interview
When the interview was booked, it was only to be with Jake. I don’t know for sure, but it’s my understanding that Jesper isn’t available for scheduled interviews. Apart from mine there is one other one out there with him recently (A&P reacts- would love to know how he got the 1on1…) and that’s it. Believe me, I would love to do a Stuart Anstis-style deep dive with Jesper and get the lowdown on everything, but I just don’t think it’s possible.
@@ScarsandGuitarspodcast If i may say so your cradle and anstis deep dives were epic level man . I grew up with principle , vempire , dusk and cruelty, what an era. I remeber teh cruelty cross-box-set came out with 4 extra tracks, it was my pride and joy !
@@tylerworthington9090 definitely, he's not super comfy doing interviews and (at least if you're a Swede) you can pick up on the queues from him for Jake to step in
He needs to hold his head up high at all times! He was the creator of some of the greatest heavy metal ever conceived, in any genre.
Jesper is a fucking legend, old school In Flames rule, iv got a whole arm sleeve dedicated to their work.
Really!! I’d love to see it!
Pics? Would love to see it
So glad to see Jesper! Living legend. Get well soon, buddy.
That was a pleasure to watch, thanks a lot!
I am really be happy see Jesper much better shape.
Dude thats so awesome that you got Jesper on the podcast. Congratulations to that. Fantastic interview!! He seems well.

I think he understood. Jake’s a good bloke

Thank you for this, felt more like a coversation between three friends than an interview :) and hope Jesper gets better ❤
Hold your head high brother. In Jesper We Trust!

In Jesper We Trust ❤
In Jesper Stromblad we trust 🔥
Jake is such an understandable guy related to anxiety 🎉🎉
It's so funny that Jesper didn't even know Euge wrote that song as a throwback to him hahah that's a VERY strong single 👌
Yeah, fuckin love that dude 😎
The soul leaving In Flames is exactly what happened. Even the new album, which is pretty good, doesn’t have a lot of soul and because of that it lost a lot of its staying power.
did jesper still has problems with alcohol?
no
Друзья, кто может переведите на русский пожалуйста.
Would have preferred a 1 on 1 with jesper , other guy keeps cutting him off , but good listen all the same
I think Jesper kind of prefers that right now. I think he likes someone else to step into the conversation. And they were also in a time crunch for another interview

@ScarsandGuitarspodcast it sounds like Jesper gets anxious and worries about scheduled interviews, I'd feel the same
