#147: Satyricon Drummer Frost

The legendary black metal drummer Frost of Satyricon is our
guest this week. In our interview we talk about the re-release of
their classic album Nemesis Divina on its 20th anniversary, what
that means for the band, if the classic albums he grew up with
would be different if they were remastered, and whether or not
there is space in black metal for change and openness in
songwriting. Forgive us for the poor quality of the recording, but
in trve black metal style we chose to distress the audibility of
his phone connection for full effect. We also discuss the
announcement of Ozzfest Meets Knotfest. We try to figure out if it
actually means anything for the genre, or if it's just another cash
grab for the Osbourne family. Why would Slipknot give up half of
their successful (or seemingly successful) festival? To get hold of
the brand? To extend their legacy? Or is this just an example
of the lovely spirit of cooperation in the metal community?
