True Thelema Magazine Interview with
Hugin of Blodarv
First,
your band Blodarv is a little unknown, therefore please tell us something about
history of your band?
I started Blodarv
as a solo band. Blodarv is my solo band that has been developed through
all the bands I´ve played in since 1994. It is definitely the most personal of
all my creations and I have laid all the experience and knowledge that I have
gained the last 8 Years playing Black Metal
into it. The first recordings were created when I had access to the right
equipment and that was in 1999, that was when I started working on the
recordings of "Murder in the name of Satan". But the tracks themself
variates from different periods in my life..."Under Satans vinger"
(Witch features on "Murder in the name of Satan" CDR ”) was a track I
had created back in 1998. So its hard to say when Blodarv
started taking form. Many of the ideas and especially some of the lyrics on
"Murder in.." are actually pretty old (another example is the lyrics
to "Six feed below as she wished for Death", witch were created in
1996), so you see there are incredible many parts from different years on both
"Murder in…" and "Mysteriis", witch in my opinion has
attributed to make Blodarv my most personal band ever! Blodarv is
the very essence of my thoughts, my soul my Witches and demons and visions. But
it also the tale bringer of the unspoken words beyond life, and by that I see Blodarv
as a wire between the unknown and "reality", the powers that I pull
down in Blodarv are very strong. To mention a little bit more about
"Mysteriis", the second release it is as follows from 1999 to 2000. I
started the recording for the second Blodarv demo CD
("Mysteriis") this was even an even harder release to get done then
the first. Many months of work and soul has been put into this release, which I
with no doubt can say became the ultimate demo release from my side ever, (at
least that is in my opinion)I think I succeeded much better in creating the
right atmosphere for the poetry and tales represented in "Mysteriis"
than I did with "Murder in the name of Satan" !!I Had Danish Art
of Agony (Nicolai Borg) doing the cover art (witch really has made a
brilliant result), and I am 100% satisfied with all songs, lyrics and sound.
Some of the tracks I would like to re-record in a different studio, so there
could be a bit better sound, but as I said before, as for a demo CD I am 100%
satisfied. News of Blodarv is that there will be a split release with
Australian Baalberith (guitarist of Urgrund) out on Bleed Records
(Australia) in March 2002 (available now!!!) released as BLEED 008, containing the most of the tracks from "Mysteriis",
this time released on proper CD, as a split CD in many more copies. In all this
split release will be about 60 minutes of great fucking Black Metal!! Also
there will be the first Blodarv vinyl release (7"Ep) out on Shades
of Autumn Prod (Finland) early 2002.This release will be titled
"Heksen" and is the tale of Nitiria Amlech, the old witch with the
soul that is forever there (from the tales of "Mysteriis"). There
will be 2 tracks on this release, and it will have a playtime of 16 minutes.
The tracks are "Heksen-Nitiria Amlech" and "Den jordfødte kællings
hævn". Last mentioned is a new version of the track (originally on
"Mysteriis") this time improved with a great intro and new elements,
that completes another chapter In the tale of Nitiria Amlech. This will be a
pure killer release of evil Demonical Black Metal. Anyway, I am constantly
working on new tracks with Blodarv, and when "Mysteriis" where
released I was already recording new tracks for the next release witch will be
entitled "Beyond Life" and will be released as a 7” EP out on my own
company, Hugin Productions in May 2002.This release will also feature Isaz from
Feikn (and Denial of God) on female vocal…"Beyond Life"
is the continuing tale of Nitiria Amlech, and her children, is the dark tale of
the death of Linaria, (witch left this world by her own hand in January 2002).
It focus on life, death and what comes after. It is the a very personal story
that is very hard to explain in general words, but It can be done through music
and poetry, and think the release does just that. Linaria was a queen of the
witches, and I have tried to represent the emotions, sadness, joy, and powers
that where released by her death. I have written in the words as the story
developed and finally as the last words at the end came to me from beyond, the
chapter of this story was completed and I know this was the last wish of
Linaria, ‘cause she is with me now more than ever, as she choose to follow the
road to the stars and to take her own life to enter the kingdom of souls that
haunts for eternity. The 7” EP "Beyond Life" will be 16 minutes long.
These new tracks are fucking mind-rippers, that will leave you possessed by the
Demons of Blodarv. BE WARNED!! THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!!!
What inspired you for
founding a black metal band, and what is black metal for you. Music or
lifestyle?
When I started my
first Black Metal band (Misanthropia/Skjold) in 1994, it was
because I needed a way to express my thoughts and ideas and visions out to
related souls. Metal, that unfortunately at that time were going downhill, was
the style that came naturally to me since I´ve been listening to metal since I
was very young, (actually since I was 10 years old, where I listened to stuff
like Sodom, Bathory, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon,
Mercyful Fate etc) and didn´t like any other music form at all at that
time. I also listened to bands later on such as Darkthrone, Burzum,
Mayhem etc that became what you today label as old school Black Metal,
but back then it was really something new, and only 1 other band (except from
us) played this type of extreme metal in Denmark at that moment (Denial of
God) and we had never heard of them at that time. We didn´t try to play
Black Metal in a certain kind of way, it all came naturally to us. The lyrics
and our ideas was the most important, and the metal that should fit it, also
had to be extreme. Music or lifestyle??!..I guess it can be called a lifestyle,
but one must remember that (at least in my case) that the lifestyle came before
the music. The music was made to express our "life style". Again one
must not forget that its more than just music, Its like entering a cirkle of
development, meaning that the music does what it can to create and form you,
and give you new ideas and visions and thoughts. Just as you´ll do your best to
form and create the music, so that it becomes the sound of thy thoughts, and
what you want to express, some of these thoughts and musical ideas where
created by atmospheres reseasved under playing and therefore I speak of a
cirkle of energies that takes from each others powers ..There are so many
things that makes this music different from all other music styles, if you just
listen to it "only" for the music, and don´t pay attention to the
lyrical Universe, the atmospheres and the powers, I think one should stay the
fuck away from Black Metal!.
The material on your second
demo CDR “Mysteriis” is very dark and atmospheric...Are you satisfied with this
material?
Yes I am very
satisfied with this material which I have really put a lot of effort, soul and
heart into. I used almost a year creating this CDR, and I think I really
succeeded in creating a release that could be understood by the ones I wanted
to get out to. "Mysteriis" took all my time working on it about 5
hours a day for 11 months. That values up to about: 1,700 hours of hard
psychological and physical work layed into this release. Witch I also must
admit is quite better than the
first CDR called “Murder in the name of Satan”, also released on Hugin
Productions.
Many of your lyrics are in
Danish, please tell us something about your lyrics and inspirations to them? I
think the right definition of your music is old school Black Metal...Do you
agree with this definition??
When we talk about Blodarv,
I would not define it as old school Black Metal, at least not the musical
concept. On the first release "Murder in the name of Satan", I used
many different influences since I found these elements important to express my
thoughts ideas and visions through the music. I used both Classical and
Industrial parts on this first demo CD, and I wouldn´t say that it is typical
old-school to use these elements in the music. "Mysteriis" was
created without any of these elements, because it would have been wrong to the
stories of this chapter to use too many programmed things and effects. Still
there are many great links among these 2 demo CDs witch I see as the first 2
chapters in the book of the Mystical Universe of Blodarv. As for the
lyrical Universe of Blodarv, it is a very special form, and all of the
lyrics are written as poems of really strong emotions. Nothing is
"easily" made, and everything has been thought of well, and been
under a long process on its way to the final result. I think I have managed in
creating a lyrical experience for the mind of the reader, like a good fairytale
or adventure. A travel into other dimensions, a travel into the Mystical
Universe of Blodarv. I was very satisfied when I had first finished Blodarv
"Murder in the name of Satan", I really found out how to express
myself much better both lyrically and musically during these recordings, but
still the satisfaction of this release and the joy for the power of the songs,
drove me to create another release, where I skipped a lot of tracks and only
used the tracks that really were over satisfying for me to listen to, and also
so that all of the tracks in their number of appearance and lyrically together
could create the exact experience I wanted to give to the listener. I gathered
a release of my best tracks, riffs and ideas up till now on
"Mysteriis" I think. Anyway, It is really hard to explain my lyrics
to the full in any other language than Danish (that’s of course why I used
Danish lyrics for some of the tracks) but the tracks on “Mysteriis” In Danish
are these:
"Den Jordfødte
Kællings hævn", "Demonstormens tid", "Den røde sten",
"Heksen"(Nitiria Amlech) and the secret track "Kaldet fra
Fjeldet"..
These 5 tracks in Danish all links together, and are the tale of a little town
blessed by the soul of Nitirias presence out in the woods where children
disappear in cold lakes, and families are taken by the spirits that lives in
the Northern sea. It is the tale a force and a power that has existed for
centuries and more, a soul of a witch that still appears in young females even
today, it´s about strong forces dwelling in nature and the atmosphere of the
world, as well as in your head. It´s about losses, and despair, tragedies, and
haunting souls and demons. Its about strong energies of our northern past, its
a story to document that life as you know it is as an illusion.
On promo of “Mysteriis” it
says “positive reviewed worldwide”...Tell us about reactions of fans to this
material...
I have received
enormous responses on both of the first Blodarv CDR’s, and I have not
had one bad review about these demos…I am of course very satisfied with this,
not only for the positive mag reviews, but also for individuals that has
contacted me in the matter of Blodarv...It really satisfies me that
there are people out there that seems to understand the idea of Blodarv,
and to witch it really gives them something...I hoped during the hard work I
had with this release that it
would be appreciated and taken in heart by the ones I wanted to reach and I
must say that It holds the banner high that there are still souls out there
that can see through all the bad empty bands infecting the World, and
appreciates my music... I here pick out some lines from different Magz:
"Not the usual Danish shit...This is wicked and nasty Misanthropic Black
Metal mixed in a wicked alliance with Ambient and industrial parts...This nasty
demo is sounding extremely cool, grimm and cold the way we want Black Metal to
be...I am anxious to experience a new demo from this cold and wicked
band..." Oskorei Magazine Issue # 4 (Norway)
"These 2 demos of Blodarv belongs to the finest of Black Metal!!
With haunting atmospheres, and grimm Black Metal!! This is very piercing and
desolate!!" Ranking 10/10. Hermits Chant ‘zine Issue # 4 (Italy)
"Scandinavian sounding Black Metal This could be compared with actual Dødheimsgard!!
Well-recorded with a good mix..." Franang ‘zine Issue # 5 (France)
"This Music is really amazing and brilliant, with a sound-recording that
reminds of Grieghallen Rec. I just adore this work, and hope to listen to more
from Blodarv as soon as possible" Ranking 10/10. Pagan Dark
Witchcraft Issue # 3 (Italy)
"This is bitter
and haunting in style, both Industrial as well as Black Metal!! The vocal
sounds torturing and tortured at the same time…Indeed the best release of Hugin
that I have heard up till now" Lady Elessar/Mandrake Mag (Holland)
Hugin, you are the only
member of Blodarv...Is Blodarv a one man project, or will the band have a
complete line-up in the future?
As I mentioned in the
beginning, Blodarv is a solo band, and could be nothing else, since I
couldn’t work with anyone on a full basis with such personal material as Blodarv
is. When this is said, I should mention that on "Mysteriis" there are
female vocal by Achtilil, this was very important for fitting the right
expression into the music, and the tale. The newest Blodarv tracks witch
will be released on 7” EP under the name of "Beyond life" features
Isaz of Feikn and
Denial Of God on Witchy Female Vocals (as I also mentioned before), Isaz
fits well into it, and she will be the one doing female / girls vocals on Blodarv
track in the future if its needed, so you see the stories kind of creates the
music, so lets wait and see what tracks comes in the future and if there will
be any "guest" musicians on them. There will never be the
"complete line-up" you speak of.
And now tell us something
of your underground label "Hugin-Production", and about your

7" EP entitled "Beyond Life" witch is dated to be released in
May 2002 and I also have plans for a new band to be released on my company on
7", but as we are still setting up the deal, agreeing on the different
issues that appears, I won't talk to much about it here.
Tell us something about
your mag, STAFA Magazine, and about idea and message of this Mag?
I started STAFA
Magazine as a info magazine on the Danish Black Metal scene/environment, and
the first 2magz where written in all Danish, and only featured Danish bands,
bios, essays, addresses, etc. The first mag where published through STAFA
Organisation/Hugin Prod/STAFA-Dist, and where on 60 (STAFA #1) and 100 (STAFA
#2) pages each. The third mag has just been released through STAFA Organisation
(over a year after issue #2) with 86 pages written in the usual vein of STAFA,
but this time in English, with very few Danish written pages. The third chapter
in the Book of STAFA contains pure fucking underground art, not like the usual
sterile magazines that pops up everywhere, this is dedicated underground, with
attitude, and articles about: ancient battle-tactics, the importance of winter,
Vølven-the Northern witch, attacks on Danish churches, northern sacrifices,
news and much more in these categories. Also book reports, CD, demo, vinyl
reviews and more… Interesting interviews with among others: Azter of Denial
of God/Horror Rec, Isaz of Feikn, Algkult of Pagan/Sturm,
and Killheiler of Victimizer (the new hope in the Danish metal scene!),
it is limited to 666 copies, printed in laser black/white (first 50 copies in
A4 format with red front and back and is sold out! A5 version still
available)!!! You can order it for : Price Norden: 40 DKk Elsewhere : 10 DM, 5
US$ (remember price includes shipment) at my address. The purpose of STAFA mag
is to spread information about the Underground, and to give the reader a mag
that is not sterile and without soul like the thousand other magz out there in
the disgusting world. As I said before I started STAFA mag alone, but later in
the third issue, Huul (guitarist of Skjold) also joined up with the mag,
and put his influence into it, witch really has worked out well, so that STAFA
keeps developing new ideas for articles, etc. Huul brings new interesting ideas
all the time for his part of the mag, where I can focus more on the other
Articles that doesn´t only contain N.S. and Race-knowledge, but also more
occult stuff and articles about Sacrifices etc, so together we spread over a
wide area of knowledge, witch we try to mix into the mag so that it still keeps
a certain "style" throughout the entire mag. When this is said, let
there be no doubt that both subjects mentioned above, has both our interest,
more or less!! We use STAFA mag to spread our thought ideas and visions, as we
do through the music, but also to represent Interesting bands in the
Underground and there opinions on different subjects, to send out news about
releases from companies we co-operate with, to let the right people have
something dedicated
to read, something they can dig into, and something more than just a typical
"Black Metal mag". We express our opinion in the Mag right from the
heart… As there only has been 3 issues up till now, there are still stuff that
need to be improved, and we need to focus on getting each mag better and more
knowledgeable than the one before, we will never let us self be satisfied with
good enough!
What is the situation in
your Black Metal scene?? Tell us something about talented Black Metal Bands
from your country...
The situation is
terrible!!! There are not far enough good BM bands over here in Denmark. The
most are untalented, soul-less half-hearted jerks, that has no idea about what
this could have been, and how they are ruining the entire environment of the
true powerful individuals that deserves respect. The Black Metal scene in
Denmark stinks from these posers popping up everywhere, but In my opinion it is
the same in most other countries, and its a development that were easy to
predict back in the early 90´as Black Metal grew more and more popular, and
more and more half-hearted, until we ended up where we stand now, and where one
can only be sad of the development from something pure and real, to something
foolish and fake!! There are though, a few good bands/individuals over here
that really deserves respect, that is such bands as Denial of God, Feikn,
Victimizer and the guys from my other and Skjold.
Vinyl is the only true
thing for Black Metal music!! Do you agree in this and tell us something about
your relations to vinyls??
I will put it this
way: I like vinyl more than anything, it has a certain magick to it, a sound
and a atmosphere you will not find on a digital recording such as a CD
production, but I think that some music are better on CD than Vinyl, it all
depends on the sound that fits the release the best. Mostly vinyl is the best,
but CD can be just as affective, if it is produced right. When this is said, I
will say that I prefer vinyl of many reasons, one of them is the feeling when
you take a vinyl
record out of the cover, and the sound from the pickúp just some seconds before
the music begins, the size of the cover art and many more reasons. I truly look
forward to get Blodarv out on vinyl early 2002, but Halloween 2001. I
released my first 7" EP with my other band Skjold. This is entitled
"Alt ondt skal komme fra Norden" witch features 2 brand new Skjold
tracks, and a fucking evil cover version of almighty Darkthrone’s
"Transylvanian Hunger" In all there are 18 minutes of great old
school Black Metal with Metal influences of 80´s bands.
What do you think about
limitation of many very interesting Vinyl materials, when you limit something
to 333, and says its only for true fans, I think it ´s more for the first 333.
fans and not the true fans, do you agree in this??
I believe that you
are very right in what you say, and it´s a very misunderstood subject. I
personally only limit some material, simply because I cannot afford any more
copies. I like to spread my words to more than a few hundred souls, and I think
many will not admit that they feel the same, because someone has told them it
is untrue, Haha.
Exist commercialism in
Black Metal,?!? What is commercialism for you…If some bands sell more than
100,000 copies of his album, or 1000,000.? Is this true commercialism? What do
you think??
Commercialism (sure
it exists in BM) to me in the negative sentence, are when you sell your self
and your ideas for cheap fame and money on your bank account. It’s not bad to
sell 1000,000 copies of your CD, if it has soul, and great visions, and will do
what you want it to do. But Mostly it must be admitted that the labels that are
big enough for such a huge production, will claim a lot from the band and its
musician, and often it turns to soul-less shit from the band, since it becomes
unpersonal when you have an image you have to fit for your company. I would
personally never release stuff on such a company that would have money as first
priority and message second if there at all. Commercialism can also be positive
though, ‘cause it attracts the masses of weak people that shouldn’t infest the
underground environment where the true powers are found
What do you think about
bands from exotic countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.. Do you agree that true
Black Metal only comes from Europe??
Black Metal to me is
definitely not for all. Things have gotten better, but It is quite ridiculous
when bands from exotic countries sing about Northern Forests and
Mountains...Hell I have even hear bands Sing in Norwegian, even though they are
from totally different countries. That’s fucking pathetic, I mean if you cannot
be
proud of your own race and land, it´s probably because there’s nothing to be
proud of right? Exotic lands should stick to playing their exotic shit in the
smoke from little smelly sticks while they drink green tea and keep their hands
from doing something they cannot do..
Black
Metal from Early 90´ is about dark themes, Satanism nature, and deep forests,
where Black Metal today, is about political ideas and NS. What do you think
about this??
I think that these
elements have always been there in Black Metal. Nowadays people are just so fucking
stupid so that they have to get everything in with a spoon…The NS part of Black
Metal today is not something new, it has always been there among the attitude
of the musicians, but perhaps one can say, that nowadays some of the lyrics are
more "carved out in carton" so that people can´t misunderstand the NS
message in it…In my opinion the most Darkest powers all can be drawn back to
the Devil. The living that is not alive, the dead that will never die…I seek on
all its twisted paths…and in the Demons within me...It is them that I truly
enjoy spending time with. It is probably more correct to call them my friends,
than to say that I worship them and it´s the same thing with the
"Devil", we are attracted to each other in a way I do not quite
understand yet .Well I know that many of the so-called Satanist are weak
pathetic souls That doesn´t have anything to offer, they can not find their own
identity, and then tries to take the identity of t he Devil...But they are
not-they are just fans of something that they can never become
themselves...They are fascinated by having weird thoughts and tries to throw
them at themself They think that it´s all a existing game, an act, a thrilling
life with the Devil, it is not and I am not one of them!!
What is your idea about the
future of Black Metal Music, and the Black Metal scene??
The future is hard to
speak of, but there’s no doubt that Black Metal today is being divided into
many categories This will result and has resulted somewhere in that people are
getting "Confused" and mix too many things together…Today’s Black
Metal is full of emptiness, and very few serious souls, that has a deeper
meaning than money and fame in doing what they do…The future will bring few
very strong bands/individuals, but they will be stronger and more dedicated
than ever before, and then there will be a million bands, playing empty shit,
bands that don’t care if they produce useless empty fans. That’s the future as
I see it. Also there will be a lot more political issues in Black Metal, and
even though many of the visions and ideas are the same as always, I think bands
will express themselves differently, meaning that the lyrically universe of
Black Metal, will be more understandable to mankind, this is both good and bad
I think. Heavy Metal will also return a lot (even though it was never gone) in
Black Metal, and styles played by great old Bands such as Bathory and Venom,
will also be "popular" in the future I am afraid…
If its no secret please
tell us something of your plans for the future, with your label and Blodarv??
As I mentioned
earlier, there will be the Blodarv/Baalberith release on Bleed
Records (Australia), and also Blodarv "Heksen" 7" EP will
be released on Shades of Autumn Prod (Fin) and the upcoming 7",
"Beyond life", with Blodarv witch will be released as
Hugin-Prod: 014.
Big thanks for answers, and
do you have a message for true Thelema Magazine??
Thanks for the
support and the interesting interview!! Hail the demons that lives in your
head!! May the Devil be with you!!! [Hugin 21st of March, 2002]
