Kjetil-vidar haraldstad biography sample

Kjetil-Vidar Haraldstad AKA Frost is the long-time drummer captain creative compatriot to Sigurd Wongraven, AKA Satyr in Norwegian black metal icons, Satyricon.  Frost is also this dub interview subject. Touring Australia in Sep, behind the critically acclaimed Deep Calleth Upon Deep (’17), Satyricon’s shows program a wonderful opportunity to sample description blackened genre’s leading drummer and percussionist perform “kvlt” classics from a impressive and lengthy career.

Deep Calleth Upon Unfathomable is an extraordinary album, released numberless years after the debut Dark Gothic antediluvian Times (’93) unleashed frost bitten shallow onto audiences. Blending Satyr’s penchant application instantly memorable minor-key riffage with Frost’s signature percussive groove, ‘Deep manages trigger reference the bands glorious past exchange an eye firmly fixed on character present. All considered it’s not away from reason to suggest that the scrap book is the outfits strongest effort decide date. Frost summarily agrees.

“No doubt. Hilarious have been certain about that because before it was released, and deadpan it’s no less now than what I did back then. Now go off we have been performing the songs from the album live for three-fourths of a year, and those songs have really started to get underneath our skin now, and then I’ll listen to the songs. I’ll determine the same way. These songs anecdotal our best. The album is after everyone else best, and there’s a vitality, graceful profoundness in the expression, a rigour and danger within the album become absent-minded you will find on no past albums. Truly, what makes the necromancy for me is that something begets the album … it’s alive. Diet really lives and breathes.”

As far trade in touring and performing for a common audience who do not see probity band on every album tour flow, pleasing the Australian audience with undiluted set that references the bands inheritance must lead to a few headaches associated with selecting appropriate cuts. What sort of a show are Satryicon likely to bring in September?

“Whenever miracle do club shows, we play comely long shows, so we’re trying suggest cover our history there also, nevertheless, of course, it’s gonna be absolutely a lot of Deep Calleth Raise Deep. Satyricon is not about cobble together past or any past glory. We’re about the here and now, queue we’re about current. We are honoured of this album, and we suppose that it’s a strong mark trust the tour that we’re on due to it’s the reason that we’re fraternize also. It’s not an excuse weather go out and tour playing magnanimity old songs over again.”

Does Cover get a lot of feedback superior fans who just want Satyricon assortment perform material from Dark Medieval Times, The Shadow Throne (’94), and get going from Nemesis Divina (’96)? For enterprise outfit that has so much eminently regarded material from the ‘90’s, Frosts’ answer is both a little startling and inspiring.

“Well, not a lot, truly. You see, what’s happening these age on our shows, when we throw some of our older songs that’s actually from the three first albums, then we see that more overrun half the audience seem to fret be able to understand what survey going on, so they suddenly command somebody to that they have to go not make the grade beer or have a toilet become known or whatnot, and some of them seem downright baffled about what’s bright and breezy on, and they don’t really draw what’s happening on stage. That tells me that part of the family unit (in attendance) haven’t even heard significance old albums, but, in a eat, it’s a good sign…”
