Hi, Thanks for take time to answer to this interview. Can we begin
with a biography of your group?
Hi, Død started the band in 1998 when he found drummer Freddy. Tchort
joined on guitar immediately after this. A year after bass player Erlend was
recruited and finally Flemming joined on vocals. A demo was released in 2000,
which led to a deal with Hammerheart Records. They released our two first albums.
Then, we signed to Earache, which now are releasing our third and by far best
album, Altered Genesis, in February 21st.
Could you explain the Altered genesis’s conception? What about
the new songs and the recording process.
There’s no other conception than making killer death metal and lyrics
that fit with the package. The new album has a perfect production. The material
is a bit more intense than before, but the head spinning riffs are still there
and better than ever! We had some difficulties throughout the recording process,
but we sorted them out, and worked real fast!
What inspire you for the lyrics and for the music?
I only write the music for my songs, so basically listening to great music and
just jammin’ with my guitar. I often get inspired when I’ve been
to a concert or haven’t played guitar for a while…
How do you describe your music? I think your music is a mixture of
new Death metal and old school Death metal isn’t it?
That’s quite right. Some of us are into the old fashioned death metal
style, but we also like some of the modern extreme elements brought into death
metal. Nevertheless, I think we’ve found our own sound in some way. We’re
not concerned about only playing fast, so we have some real head spinning killer
riffs all over!
Looking back on your past what regards do you have about the discography
of your group?
I’m not sure what you mean, but I’m proud of all our releases. But
I really would like to re-record the Affiliated With The Suffering album with
an improved production. The songs are excellent death tunes, but the sound is
pretty bad. But we learn from our mistakes, and I can only recommend all our
albums!
How did you decide to recorded the new album in DUB studio?
DUB studio is the only professional recording studio when it comes to metal
in our hometown. We’ve done a bunch of recordings there before, so we
know what to get. I don’t know in the future, but having families, jobs
and son on, makes it easier working in a studio close to home…
We haven’t a lot of informations about the others members of
Blood red Throne. Can you briefly present the others members please?
Død: live guitarist in Satyricon between 1996-1999. Started Scariot in
1997, which is still alive. Plays power/thrash metal ala Testament/Nevermore.
Fourth album is out before summertime. Also working on a new project called,
Domination, which will be extremely groovy powermetal ala Pantera! I also released
an excellent album, Meat Hook Ballet, with the blackthrash project, Cobolt 60,
which Mr.Hustler also was the second half of.
Erlend C: extremely skilled bass player that’s been involved in tons of
bands and projects. His main band besides BRT, is The Allseeing I, which plays
intricate and very technical death metal.
Mr.Hustler: played the drums and did the vocals on Meat Hook Ballet by Cobolt 60. Quite cool drummer, but wanted to focus on his job and his vocal work in BRT.
You come from Norway where the Black metal scene is very big while
the Death metal scene is practically nonexistent. What do you think about the
Norway’s death metal scene?
We have some cool death metal bands here, and they keep coming. Norway’s
famous for its legendary black metal scene, but to us it just feels right to
play death metal…
For you, what is the definition of the Death metal?
Nowadays, you have some real fast playing bands, and I just like to call those
bands extreme metal. Anyway, speaking of death metal, I keep thinking of my
fave band Death, and the world’s greatest album Human. Death metal to
me is the debut of Gorguts, all Cannibal Corpse releases, old Malevolent Creation
and tons of other bands. I like it extreme, but there’s nothing like the
early 90’s death metal era. Lots of double bass drums and the killer atmosphere
from back then…<
Tchort plays in two others big bands (Carpathian Forest and Green Carnation).
Isn’t to hard to work with him because he must have a full timetable.
Haha, he’s not the only one, though he’s a pretty occupied man.
I have two other bands myself, a job, two kids, house, car and everything. Our
singer lives far away, constantly working, so we’re all quite busy. But
it works fine. We don’t have to practise that much before entering studio
or doing live shows…
What are the bands that you enjoy the most?
A thousand bands, but Death, Pantera, Meshuggah, Joe Satriani are my absolute
favourites…
Do you have book some shows? Can we hope to see you in France?
We’re supposed to support Malevolent Creation this spring, so we’ll
see. Just check our website for info. We did play in Paris at the Locomotives
on our last tour, and that was one of the cooler places to play!
You are signed by Earache records who is a great big international
label. Are you personnaly satisfied by their work?
It’s a bit early to say, but I believe they have confidence in the band
and they will do their best to promote us. Naturally, it’s awesome to
be signed on this legendary label, which has released some of our favourite
bands…
And now what is your project?
Like I told, Scariot is my other main band, and a new killer album is on its
way! I’m also working on a real groovy band called Domination, so watch
out for that name!
And, to finish, could you explain to us, your vision about the “spirit
of metal”?
Metal is simply about doing your own thing, and don’t give a fuck about
the rest. It’s a unique style and we’re always trying to improve
ourselves as song writers!
Thanks for your precious time, last words are yours.
Thanks yourself. Cool interview. Fans of old school and/or modern death metal,
will most certainly find BRT interesting. We offer quality, brutality and groove
at the same time. Check our website @ www.bloodredthrone.tk and meanwhile; stay
heavy!
