Got to say i enjoy'd this interview very much. The questions were just right and the answers refreshing. Especially the filling of Caligulas shoes, and in my opinion the Where Shadows Forever Reign is Dark Funeral's best album up to date and full of atmosphere.

Heljarmadr has done a fantastic job of pumping new life into the band after Caligula left. The last album (first with him on) is arguably thier finest work. He's also great live.
I've been listening to Dark Funeral since the "Secrets of the Black Arts" days. Great band, and they quite often don't get the respect they deserve, or too many people see them as a "joke black metal band". I like all incarnations of the band, and I thought "Where Shadows..." is a great record. Thanks for the interview! Also, I love how he just shrugs off the labeling of music to genres and basically says if you like, you like it, and who cares what anyone else thinks. Lots of respect for that!

Cool interview, Gra are a great band, their record Ending (2015) is awesome, nice atmosphere to it.I do like it when bands sing in their native tongue, he should slip in some Swedish lyrics for Dark Funeral.
Good interview!! I stop listening to Dark Funeral for years, it was just the same album after album but when this guy join the band and the new album is very good and the band live with him sounds fuckin good 🤘

Saw DF last year and they were great🔥
Nice to hear some love for Tony Martin! Big fan of the Black Sabbath albums he sings on.
Good interview🤘🏽
Saw DF during their 25 year anniversary tour last year. I've always been a fan of Caligula and thought Heljamadr is just a shadow of him but he really exceeded my expectations after their performance. Heljamadr is a great choice by DF.
Your BM interviews are amazing! I hope you get the chance to speak with either Lord Ahriman from Dark Funeral or infernus from gorgoroth
