Interview - Fenriz of Darkthrone

Submitted by M. Drew on Thursday, Jul 29th 2010

"Circle the Wagons" appears to have a heavy punk influence. Was there a certain sound you wished to capture, or elements you wants to incorporate into the recording of the album?

Not as punky as the two albums before, this one has a lot more heavy metal a la 1979-1985! And my songs are most often fast heavy metal (SPEED METAL) inspired from those times...but naturally as I am metals answer to John McEnroe, when I sing those angry lyrics it's bound to sound "punky". And I've listened to ALL kinds of punk on a very regular basis since 1986. So Bob's your uncle. And I guess we don't wish or plan like you insinuate here, we're all natural, we record song by song (meet up and record every time we each have a song ready) and never talk about musical direction, we just make what we currently need to make. Follow our hearts, it's total freedom as usual in the Darkthrone camp.

 More than ten years together, world tours, headlining festivals, multi-platinum albums. Is there anything you feel you still have to accomplish as a band?

Yes. Making money. We're broke. Ha!!!

Dani Filth Talks New Book

Submitted by M. Drew on Monday, Oct 12th 2009

This is considerably more commercial sounding material, coming across like the bastard son of Tool mixed with At The Gates

How did it feel to finally finish "Gospel of Filth" so many years after its inception? Did you feel it was complete?

It was on the cusp of massive relief even up to a few days ago when it finally managed to claw it's way down to the printers!

I think that there’s a lot of talk in the UK about family and parenting and a lot of worries about ‘Broken Britain’ – this idea that society is collapsing.

Are you a big horror fan? What films would you say influenced it the most?

Toby Wilkins On "Splinter", "The Grudge 3"

Submitted by Eric on Monday, Apr 27th 2009

Give people the chance to see a film on their own terms, in as many ways as possible, and hopefully it will find an audience.

You made short films for a long time before moving on to features. Is that a format you really enjoy? What was the motivation for sticking with it so long?

Bobbi Sue Luther, Rob Hall on "Laid To Rest"

Submitted by Eric on Monday, Apr 20th 2009

It certainly was a great crash course as far as producing movies was concerned. Luckily I had Rob there to guide me.

You started acting in 2003. What made you decide to take the leap?

Edward Anderson Talks "Shuttle"

Submitted by Eric on Wednesday, Apr 8th 2009

It’s the only ending that makes sense, in part because it’s honest.

What was your initial inspiration for "Shuttle"?

I was on an airport shuttle van and my mind just wandered. There’s a bigger context to the film, something that was thinking about around that time, but it falls into spoiler territory so we can’t to go there.

You recently screened the film at the SXSW, how was the audience reaction?

Ben Rock talks "Alien Raiders"

Submitted by Eric on Thursday, Apr 2nd 2009

For my money, it's best to do as much as possible practically.

- Ben Rock

So what were the origins of "Alien Raiders"?

It was actually an idea of Dan Myrick's. His idea was to set something fantastic and grandiose like an alien invasion film in the most mundane place of all - a supermarket. The title at the time was actually "Supermarket".
