- Ancient is one of those early Norwegian names that were known well in the 90's but which didn't to get as big as some of the other bands. In this interview we talk about a murder tied to Ancient's music, Jesus Christ (you'll understand why when you watch the interview), Norwegian black metal and much more. Hop in!

Never heard of these guys but I will check them out. He was far from a religious wingnut. Seemed like a decent guy. Good advice too.
Aye. Only rarely you find Christians who are actually cool to question the Bible.
A great interview for the day of my birthday! Hail Ancient!
Thx - and happy birthday!
Great interview! It would be interesting to see an future interview with Thokkian Vortex (Lord Kaiaphas’s current black metal project), in order to get Kaiaphas’s stories of the 90s black metal scene, his work with Ancient, the music and ideas in Thokkian Vortex, etc.
Thanks. We'll have to see what the future brings us. With current budget it's very hard to get interviews outside Finland.
Rauta Totally understandable. Either way, keep doing your thing man. I really enjoy your content. 🤘
Thanks! Luckily soon people have the possibility to support the channel through Patreon :p
A really interesting interview to see. I really loved early Ancient, never heard an Aphazel interview live. He seems such a nice and weird laid back guy. I would have loved he had gone deeper in his reasoning, I’m interested in the logic behind these changes of heart, but for me his arguments seemed way too superficial the way he put them. Such a cool one, Jerry!
Thank you. I've had the pleasure of meeting him another time after this and we somewhat befriended. A nice man and a nice wife. Good couple to hang out with.
Svartalvheim and The Cainian Chronicles are the best so far in my opinion
I do agree with you. These albums define the trve sovnd of Ancient!! 🤘
Some guys grow old and their perspectives change, dont need to rake him over the coals about it.
My favorite albums "Trolltar", "Svartalvheim" and "Det Glemte Riket" Ep.
My first Ancient album I heard was Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends
@@lexbeltran1354 I first heard "Svartalvheim" and "The Cainian Chronicle" from Ancient. "Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends" was the third album.
Hey RRRRauta ... thanks for getting so many black metal interviews out to the world. If I mail you some clip on microphones, would you use them?
Thank you for checking them out! We actually have a hand mic now (and two clip mics, too) so no use, but thanks for asking! If you want to support Rauta, please consider becoming a Patreon. See www.patreon.com/rauta
I like their album Night visit very good record
God Loves the Dead was one of my first contact with black metal in highschool days, still because of that i have respect for this band and their work, i think they were through whole carreer very underrated for some unknown reason.
thanks rauta again!!!old ancient is fucking great !!!svartalheim and Det glemte riket is masterpieces!!!you must listen if you not!!
Thanks. Actually just listened to Svartalvheim on vinyl before doing this interview. :-)
Good interview and interesting band!
Thanks!
Interesting interview for sure. Only heard svartalvheim I’ll have to investigate. Can you get an interview with Fenriz? Haha I’d love to see what he has to say
Thanks.
Regarding Fenriz: it might be hard as mostly I do these interviews face-to-face on gigs and Darkthrone don't do gigs. But if he's up for a Zoom interview some day, why not.
@@RautaMetal good point!
Great interview very interesting
Thanks!
Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends is really good !
Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends was the second BM album I bought (in February '98) and I liked it too.
Despite it got a good review in Finlands largest music magazine, I have noticed later, it seems to be one of the most hated BM albums.
For me it's pretty mediocre.
I remember seeing you wearing a Lord Wind shirt. What did you think about the newest album. I just got it. I love it.
I must say I haven't heard Lord Wind albums for years. I don't have for other albums but review albums :-(
@@RautaMetal the new one has a lot of female vocals. It's very natural sounding and there is a whole lineup now. Not just Rob Darken. It's been out since summer I think but I just found it a couple of weeks ago.
@@SKvldlf Souds good. I gotta get back to it at some point.
Great interview but the noise in the background makes it quite unwatchable though :( . I hope you can fix that.
Sorry, nope fix coming to that. :(
Man, Ancient rules & Aphazel is the man!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 (Cainian & Mad are my favorites 🤘🤘🤘🤘)
Trolltaar and Svartalvheim mine!
Great interview. Too bad about the talking of others in between. Favorite period: 1st era.
Thanks.
@@RautaMetal you're welcome
Of course Aphazel is a christian, he even had Jesus Christ! as member of his band for several years!
I enjoy Ancients music. I also enjoy their music videos (because I think their videos are hilarious).
Yes.
I personally cannot stand Cradle of Filth, Ancient's music is a mixture of Black/Heavy metal which is more appealing to me. Great interview, Rauta\m/
Thank you!
🤘
Ar they similar?comparable?
@@yanggyan9729 Not really similar.
Ancient is Very good Black Metal, Thank you Rauta!
De nada!
Night Visit and Proxima Centauri albums have the best production in extreme metal. Amazing albums, its a bit of a shame that people only appreciate the early simplistic pure black metal style of Svartalheim. I understand why Ancient only seem to play those early albums nowadays since people remember them by that style. Shame that the metal community is not open minded because the true Ancient gems were made in the late 90s early 2000s
I think Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends and the MTV music video might have something to do with it.
I love ancient I am their biggest fan bless you Jesus Christ got love for
It's a bit beat up, BUT I still have my Ancient shirt. Black with just the logo.
Grande Padre🤘
Bring Varg for an interview lol
I would love to do that, but it’s not like travels to Finland to play gigs. Willing to fund our trip to his place? ;-)
I want Varg to interview Rauta💪💪
@@yanggyan9729 That would be cool, too.
The pandemia will definitely restrict this to happen. But I might give away some money for interview.
Just put the Pantheon going
He seems like a nice person. Don't understand why you become so butthurt in the second part... Doesn't change the fact their early albums were super solid and still are.
Butthurt by Christianity - not by him. He's a cool guy
I appreciate your honesty rauta. I wouldn't call it butthurt. I would call it being able to say what other pussies aren't able to speak. Most people think it but you actually say it.
If Jarno Elg were to listen to some other band, let’s say Venom, would it be wrong for their conscience to murder someone? I don't think so.
Next time close the door when you do an interview!
As if we got to choose the place ourselves that often, but no. Nice idea though.
Liliths embrace..
Yep! A curious classic for peculiar reasons.
I wish Jerry could’ve taken some bonus questions from Bill Zebub
Too late :/
Nice jerry...
Ty...
So is he gonna do an unblack metal album now xD
Who knows. Maybe?
AHAH,THE MOST ARE BLACK THESE BAND
THE MORE ARE POLITES AND HANDSOME ,
(WELL,SOME..but the majority with my experience...)
KINDA ..IT PROVES2ME THAT EXPRESSING YOURSELF IS VERY WORTH SOCIALLY/HEALTHY AND at 360° anyway.
Well,ciao!
Keep Christianity out of black metal, it does not belong here. This goes for Islam and Judaism as well.
@@rosyclown Wasn't Litourgiya an inversion of eastern orthodoxy though? They used the psalms but corrupted them.
Indeed.
@@MoonlightRitual The Litourgiya album is a mockery, yes. I used to be an eastern orthodox (Well, officially I was. Never was one for real), because here we have a state church and my father's family is from Karelia from where the majority of Finland's orthodox christians are from. So I was baptized. And therefore I know about these things.
Anyway, the album cover has a picture of an icon where the faces are blurred, which is extremely blasphemous. Also, the robes they use(d) on stage has inverted crosses on them and I remember watching a live video where the singer does the sign of the cross, but the cross is again inverted. I'm sure there's more details like that but those are the ones I have noticed myself.
@@rosyclown So you were able to read old church slavonic from a lyric sheet that doesn't technically exist? You also realize that using "I" instead of "God" is incredibly blasphemous, it is essentially tantamount to Satanism as it's worship of ones self, self divination. Enjoy slavery.
@@MoonlightRitual This exactly, the whole idea is to mock God.
Fuck off with Christianity in BM. So called "White Metal" or whatever - it's fucking pathetic.
Wictim of murder, In finland wos In band utuk xul. I read one interwiev where lord aphazel is feeling so sad, about wictim and that murder thing. Aphazel is a Christian. Changed name,..ancient is Christian metal. Still playing old Albums Material. Christian plays black metal??
Paradox, isn’t it?
Rauta yes it is.
Jacket Turner.. Christian. Lammas.
Trur rvangelecals are corupt. However jesus id not a life aferming diety he is intinsckly an abombination
Rauta = French! rota-- rotten = amsterdamnites!
Rauta is not French, but Finnish.
He has, zro-- NORWJN tongue! He's Amsterdamnite, Isil / ss waffen! He makes, US hospitals what? Buy needles/machines-- Under US GOV! I'm literally, NORWJN - Native Indian! < red white black, Island flag!
This is wrong. And sad.
