| In monumental honour we leave thee now..."Are you sure you want to block this user?Tell us the history of Indungeon and Thy Primordial .Ok, lets start with Thy Primordial.Thy Primordial was formed in 1994 and our debut demo "De Morka Makters Alla" was promptly released in March 1995.Soon after its release, a one album agreement was reached with U.The album "Under iskall Trollmane" was conceived and scheduled for release in February 1996.With a release to our name, we continued our musical pursuits with stronger conviction and focus.Thy Primordial soon recorded a follow up demo for promotions in March 1996.Black Metal played with uncompromising technicality and melody was laid to tape and was released by Pulverised in the beginning of April 97.Indungeon is a hobby project with members from Thy Primordial and Mithotyn.The band was formed during the summer 1996.After some months of rehearsal we entered Nidengate Studio in order to record our first demo including five songs, one of them was a cover version of Bathorys
legendary "Die In Fire".So instead of release the demo we saved the songs for the CD.That their time we change studio to Hypersonic and the sound went good so wedecide to record their CD in Hypersonic aswell.Armed with alot of intensive practice we started to record the first CD in early april 1997 and in the late april the CD was recorded.Trash Metal inspired from the 80's with war inspired lyrics, or in short War
Metal.Tell us the release history behind these two bands and what you're working on for the future.Here is the Thy Primordial discograpy.And an apperance on the A Tribute to Hell comp cd 98 aswell as apperence on various comp tapes through the years...Explain the differences and similarities between the two bands.Thy Primordial is our main band, Indungeon is a hobby band.The lyrics deals with death and darkness in unknowed wein in thy
primordial.In Indungeon the lyrics deals with war only.Thy Primordial and Indungeon do not have too much in common, except that two members from Thy Primordial are involved in this project.How would you describe the band's style of music, to someone who has never heard them?What do some of the lyrics deal with?Thy Primordial perfoms black metal in an aggresive way with alot of speed.The lyrics deal with topics such as death and darkness.So far on our released stuff that people can listen to, the song For fires to burn with Thy Primordial.What bands have been influential in your music?In Thy Primordial we try to be as uninfluenced as possible, maybe something comes in which we do not even think about from the Norway scene which all members in the band like best.What style of music do you listen to most often?What are your personal favorites?But I also listen to other types of metal bands, I like Wasp, Kiss, Iron Maiden, Gamma Ray, Helloween The Hellacopters, Backyard Bebies and alot of other bands.Do you have much support from the public?In sweden we have alot of bands as you know, but there are not much of them that I like too much.In general I think the swedish black and death metal is way to melodic for my taste.Dissection, Marduk, Dark Funeral, Inbattle, Dismember, etc...Thy Primordial or Indungeon is known here in sweden.In the case of Thy Primordial I think it has something to do with that we are not in the same genre as the other swedish black metal bands.And as for Indungeon I think the cd has not good promotion over here almost no one I speak with has ever heard the name of the band and the cd is hard to find in any distrubution list.Have you toured recently?No we have actually not played a single gig for 16 months or so.But before that we did like 10 shows with Thy Primordial.We have no plans for any tour right now, I really don't know if the whole band is interested to do any tour either, even if Iam open minded for it.Indungeon has not done any live gigs yet, but we have some offers to do some small gigs around Sweden later on this year but we have to wait as we have a new drumplayer in the band.The black metal music scene seems to have always carried with it a certain degree of hatred and violence towards this world.Most prominent a few years back with the church burnings and killings, and recently Jon of Dissection was convicted of murder.What inspires you musically and lyrically?What about in your life?The inspiration can come from anything you face somehow, a movie or something you see or hear about, at least when it comes to the lyrics, But I don't do so much lyrics for neither Thy Primordial or Indungeon, in fact I don't do any lyrics for Indungeon, so I am not the right guy to answer this question.When it comes to music, I used to sit some hours with the guitar and hopefully an idea shows up it is somehow much more easy to continue when you have the opening on the song ready, but i can't tell you where the idea comes from suddenly it is there...How do you spend your spare time?Thy Primordial and Indungeon on my spare time, so I don't have to much time left actually.Infact most of my time goes to writing songs and keeping in contact with people for Thy Primordial.We do pretty much interviews and it takes pretty much time.Does religion play a role in your life?Maybe we enter a new dimension as our souls await another physical life form.But on the other hand it is not impossible that we just drop dead and never wake again.What are your views on Christianity?Are you as hostile toward it as many are in the music scene?For me Christianity is something the humans created just because they didn't have anything else to blame things for.Is it just a product of Christianity, making it just as undesirable?Explain your views on Paganism.What do you see wrong with the world today?In contrast, what do you see right with the world?Will the millenial year finish the book of the world?Do you see any hope for the future?Thanks for the interview, support Thy Primordial and Indungeon.Look out for the new Thy Primordial cd it shall be out in july aswell as a t shirt.On our new album
all lyrics will be in English and all of them will be printed.Morth and Isidor use those names
because they like them.MORK GRYNING, LORD BELIAL,
MARDUK, DISSECTION, SACRAMENTUM and others of that ilk...?The Swedish scene is quite worthless
these days.MARDUK and DISSECTION from the bands you mentioned.IN BATTLE, SETHERIAL and SWORDMASTER.Why did you ignore such studios as Fredman, Abyss, Sunlight,
L.Was there any special reason for choosing Rolab?Our upcoming album was recorded at Sunlight
and I think we will record our next releases there as well, as it turned
out great.Can you
reveal us few items in your contract?What does it represent to you
and does it have any meaning nowadays?EMPEROR, GEHENNA and SATYRICON do.What did you mean choosing this name for the band?But when we signed to our first label, they told us to do something with
the name because of the Irish PRIMORDIAL.Who is that creature
(or man?All these
attributes are counted as necessary for person, playing BM, by some people...Then where is the verge
between image and real life?And is there such a verge...?So it became a
part of my life.All vital
processes (including death) are submitted to certain irrefutable laws.Have you heard any Russian metal bands?Would you like to come in my country and perform some concerts?Russia as a country either,
but it seems to be a lot of suffering over there.We play live, if we get a chance
so far.We have done something like 10 shows.Mjolby a fucking idiot asked me what kind of KISS clowns we are and
in ...What do you think about the year of 2000?What are the future plans for THY PRIMORDIAL
and you personally?Our only plan for the
future is to release our new album and hopefully make a tour with the band
as well as we are!And darkness eternal
has arrived; sun has ceased, so did the morning light...And the time has
come for last hails and curses...Ok, thanks for the interview,
