DARKTHRONE’S FENRIZ IS KIND OF AN ARSEHOLE
Earth to Darkthrone drummer/vocalist Fenriz; you are an asshole. Check out this recent interview from Metal Maniacs, with our comments in bold:
Metal Maniacs: Prior to recording “F.O.A.D.”, were you conscious that you’d divide the Darkthrone fanbase, or potential fans, even more severely than you did with “The Cult Is Alive”?
Fenriz: The mere word “fanbase” disgusts me. WTF! Get down and boogie! If you’d done THAT, you wouldn’t talk about such things as fanbases or opinions. I know I don’t, but because of these interviews, I have to lessen my world with this crap. We get cooler bands contacting us with support now than ever before; my contacts have never been a better and more credible bunch of people.
Seriously? Your fans are the entire reason you have a career. “Lesson my world” with these interviews? Who the fuck do you think you are? If you didn’t want to lesson your world you should’ve declined the interview, dickwad.
Metal Maniacs: Would it have been possible to make an album like “F.O.A.D.” in 1995, when you’d just left your “classic” Peaceville period and began to forge a newer but differently primitive period for Darkthrone with the awesome “Panzerfaust”?
Fenriz: I say on our “The Cult Is Alive” album: “you contra-fact history-writer — you should be fed to the living dead of Nairobi.” What could have been is a waste of energy, to put it mildly. “The Cult Is Alive” is the natural follow up to “Under A Funeral Moon”. To zest your plate of food…
Great, insult the press, that’ll do you really well.
Metal Maniacs: What do you say, then, to all those fans and bands who want Darkthrone to sound like that classic Peaceville black metal trilogy forever? Are the links between now and then more there than people think?
Fenriz: Zzzzzzzzzz. Of course it is. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed king is god. Just wait till these people grow up and see the big pattern of metal, rock and punk. Sadly but perhaps necessarily, they are in the zone and can’t see clearly but very vividly.
Continue insulting your fans there, bucko. Seriously, I don’t care how important or influential Darkrthone was. This guys is an ASSHOLE with a capital ASS.
