Scars and Guitars

Frost (Satyricon)

The catalyst for our conversation is Satyricon's 2018 Australian tour. Despite the quality of the phone line being less than ideal, Frost shares his insights on a plethora of intriguing topics. We discuss his anticipation for the shows, delve into the band's 2017 album "Deep Calleth Upon Deep," and reflect on the phenomenon of new fans who may not be familiar with the band's extensive back catalogue. So, bear with us through the less-than-perfect audio, as Frost, the talented percussionist of Satyricon, provides us with plenty of rolled gold in our chat.

Demonaz (Immortal)

The catalyst for our conversation is the launch of the album "Northern Chaos Gods" in 2018. We delve into discussions about the album, Demonaz's thoughts on the band's 2007 shows in Australia, and the significant event of the split within Immortal involving Abbath. It's worth noting that based on recent online commentary, Demonaz may have provided more detailed insights on the reasons behind the split in this chat compared to his new interviews leading up to the release of the upcoming album "War Against All" in 2023. So, let's keep that in mind as we engage in our chat with Demonaz from Immortal.
