To me? I like Vortex, but Dane is a good singer, better than Ozzy fucking Osbourne at any rate IMO.

It's his fault that Arcturus aren't still in existence, I can never forgive him for that.
Well, speaking of Arcturus, everyone knows you guys broke up. What happened? Was it just a scheduling thing?
Were you in Australia?
No, just once word gets out...
Yeah. I mean, Steiner, he does 97% of the music almost. He, I don’t know, has no inspiration, these days. I mean, that can come back again, I’m sure. He’s always been like that too; there’s been huge gaps in between every album.
Is there a chance the band can come back?
I don’t know. I mean, we’re still friends and all. We don’t hang out, or anything. But we’re friends and there’s no hard feelings and we all feel proud of each other, you know, with the albums and stuff. I was actually emailing the label manager for Arcturus because I want to do some remixing on that album. I think that’s very unprofessional to say because when people like an album you should just shut up, plus you grow fond of production anyway, if you like an album. But I want to do something about it, I’m not sure if that’s going to happen or not, but I think the album deserves that. We’ll see what happens. I mean, I’m super proud of it but I need a little bit more production on there.
To everyone, anything bad you say about Simens, he'll find a way to prove you wrong .
^ Alright, it did sound pretty good. I guess he should quit the Burghers (lol) after I heard that. I've disliked the band for awhile.
I dont know.. I never disliked Vortex's vocals, but they never really hit me in a way so as i would seek out more of his music, in fact, i think i dislike most of it. I dont like DImmu borgir, and i don't like that, whatever circus music band, whatever it was. Though i think i like Borknagar. Just never really listened that much to it.
I guess, Vortex is for Joe as Devin Townsend is to me
I am wondering though, do you like his voice, do you hate it?
I have never really been into any of his bands, Dimmu being only one that I have ever listened more that just "let's check out this bands myspace". And I have personal problem with Dimmu's appearance which prevents me listening them more... I really like Vortex's voice though and it's one of my favorite vocalist.
:no flame or any intention:
he is cool i like his voice i never listened to anyting he did besides dimmu
and i think they really neglect his bass sound in the mix
it doesn't matter what size or scale his bass is its all about the sound in the end and as bassist my self for me it is important to hear good heavy punch.
from what i heard he has good enough skills to bring that punch its not like he fucks it up like many many other bassists out there
I know I know, it goes back to time when churches were burning, all metal bands from Norway was consider satanist and only really tr00 guys were listening it (it was big thing here in Finland back then). I found all that black leather, weird names and black metal bands way too funny back then (I was more into WASP, Iron Maiden etc. and didn't take music that seriously) and I had some bad experiences with people who didn't find Norwegian black metal funny at all. Laughing was just not allowed. So even now I get this weird nervous feeling when listening music from bands which appearance remains black metal bands, so I don't listen them it just ruins m day. It might be difficult to understand what I mean, black metal scene is so different now days that it was in the 90s. But enough about my old shit and problems...I will check out those other bandsWhy do you care what their appearance is? They're CLEARLY a joke band in terms of their OMGHAILSTAN attitude. They don't take it seriously, at least most of them don't, you know.
Yeah I totally agree, he should quit the band because you don't happen to like them...
No... wait..
