New Ulver interview... Garm also talks a bit about Opeth

[batmura]

This interview was done a few months ago, but we only just got around to putting it up. Garm wasn't all that talkative, but he did answer the question about Opeth. I personally always wanted to know what he thought of Opeth...

hmm why didn't you expect it? if anything, i'd say he has pretty wide tastes in music.

also, the link isn't working for me, either
the whole site seems to be down

Very broken, indeed.

Garm wasn't all that talkative...

From various interviews I've read he seems like a pretentious and arrogant prick. But anyway, the site still seems to be down. I'm curious what he had to say.

+1

I love me some Ulver but the dude does come off as a holier-than-thou douchebag. And those are the worst kind of douchebags.

The site seems back up now. I'm surprised he didn't rule out ever doing a metal album again. I remember reading some interview where he was extremely negative about the entire metal genre and just dismissed all of it as childish music for anti-social people or something like that. Maybe he's mellowed out a bit since then.

interesting. He really is the definition of "progressive"

I always liked Garm... But I'm generally a 'holier-than-though' douchebag to most people anyways, so maybe thats why... ... But yeah I do remember reading an interview where he completely 'dissed' the metal genre... But I think that had more to do with most metal fans being total close-minded idiots... But I think anyone that isn't a stereotypical 'metalhead' can agree that most stereotypical 'metalheads' (along with any other stereotypical anything) are close-minded idiots... Anywho, glad to see he likes Opeth, at least the new stuff. Although I never heard anyone compare old Opeth stuff to Ulver anyways...

Hey! He isn't a prik anymore. He likes metal again. This is good.

Mostly because i don't hear it much in the music. I know he has diverse tastes (obviously considering the back catalogue), but i thought a lot of it delved in the industrial/electronic side of things.

Very, uhhh, 'succinct' interview.

Garm has always gone where he thinks the money is. His career arc has been quite consistent in that respect.

^see head control system for Garms latest dive into bubble gum metal.


it sucks. IMO

 

[a rofl nazi]

head control system sounds incredible

Um...wouldn't he have gone for a more poppy sounding accessible approach if that were true?
