I don't have much contact at all with other black metal bands.
I never did anything with the early recordings I made, I felt they weren't worthy.
I'll never understand the art world. But I kind of feel like there's been some art world/black metal crossovers happening for a while.
There isn't much of an agenda lyrically. And I definitely didn't want to write about things I don't know anything about.
For years I wouldn't listen to black metal from anywhere but Norway.
Black metal seemed way deeper than anything else, and I kind of got addicted to it.
