This interview is with the Swedish band THYRFING
that released its debut album "Thyrfing" through Hammerheart
Records for a couple of months back. If you like viking metal with many synth
melodies will you definately love THYRFING! All answers in this interview by
Patrik. |
Greetings! Your debut album has been out for some
months now. Are you satisfied with it? |
|
Yeah, I think it’s a good debut overall. The
song-quality is variable, but the songs were written during a period when we
progressed a lot as song-writers, so in short: I like some songs very much
and some less. The sound is ok, but I’d prefer some more power and width in
the sound. The cover is fucking great, but the layout is a bit boring. Probably
because there are no lyrics included. Well, I think it’s a good start for us,
and it’s still quite funny and enjoyable to listen to sometimes. |
Do you know how many ex it has sold? |
He-he, I guess you want me to spit on those who were
sitting during the last gig, right? Well, it’s up to them what they want to
do, as they have paid for visiting the concert, but I think it’s more funny
if the crowd bang their heads and having a good time, than just sitting
relaxing like it was a cinema or something! If it was allowed to drink
alcohol in these damn locals, I think the scenario had been different. |
|
Why didn`t you include the lyrics in the album? |
Yes you’re right Tony. Me, Jocke and Thomas also
plays in PANTHEON. We have released two demos, and this band was founded
before THYRFING’s birth. We’ve got some label interest for a CD, but I don’t
know what’s going on with that right now. If we won’t release a CD, there
will be a new demo, promo or something… Thomas are also playing drums WYVERN,
an excellent Heavy Metal band which will release their debut CD soon I hope. Thomas
and Jocke are also nowadays playing in ANCIENT WINDS. |
|
Is any new
material ready yet? If, yes when is it going to be released? By which label? |
|
Do you got any T-shirts for sale? |
Yes I would gladly do if you’ll pay for it! Seriously,
we should have left for a european tour in September but the whole shit
messed up! Fuck… Hope that there will be another opportunity for us to go on
tour, ’cause that would be a great… |
