Blasphemy interview - veterans of war metal & powerlifting skinheads
Blasphemy is probably the most extreme cult act ever to come from Canada. Not only a powerful combination of early death and black metal, but also one of the creators of war metal and big powerlifting guys, Blasphemy surely made their mark already in the 1980s. This interview was conducted at Steelfest 2024 in Finland, May 2024.
Host: Jerry Kurunen
Video & photo: Arto Soini Photography

In fact, this is the second ever filmed published interview, done in person with the guys, not via Skype or something I mean, in Europe, after that old one, done in March of 1993, while on tour with Gorguts : I'm taking about that cult short one found on the "666 on calling death" documentary.

Been a big fan of Blasphemy for a long time. Never have seen the band live and likely never will, as they can't get into the U.S. apparently. Maybe I will be able to afford to travel elsewhere and catch a show at the same time, but that isn't likely at this time. One more studio album from Blasphemy would be cool, but I imagine it is a daunting thing from the band's perspective since Fallen Angel, Gods of War, and the Blood Upon the Altar demo have been this body of work for decades now. A new album would most likely get the "yeah, I guess it's okay, but the demo is where it's at" response. To be fair, the Blood Upon the Altar demo is one of the best metal demos of all-time, in my opinion. I would also like to see Caller of the Storms interviewed by himself. I am curious if he still has that Ibanez from the Fallen Angel days.
