\n<\/a>“Come with an open heart, that\u2019s the main thing.\u00a0 A lot of people often laugh and joke when they are confronted with something that is too much for them, and that\u2019s fine, that\u2019s a human thing to do, but I mean try.\u00a0 Come to a Watain concert and try to take it for what it is, it\u2019s a ceremony and you can be a part of it.”<\/p>\n

Swedish Black Metal band Watain are 13 years into their career and heading to Australia for the first time to bring their music and live show to us.\u00a0 From footage I’ve seen their show looks amazing and one to catch when they’re here.\u00a0 I could say more but any questions you may have or want to know what the band are about are answered below in one of the most interesting interviews I know I’ve ever done, with Watain singer Erik who gave us an insight into the band, their music and their spirituality.<\/p>\n

Have a read and make up your own mind…<\/p>\n

People are saying you\u2019re most definitely one of the most anticipated bands to catch at Soundwave, so for those that wouldn\u2019t have seen you before, what can people expect during a Watain set?<\/strong>
\nWell they can expect, I hope, no I know, that they can expect\u2026\u00a0 Let me put it like this, people have been reading all these old Rock biographies about the times when rock was dangerous and badass and it changed the life of people and it stirred up a rage within society and pissed off everyone with the wrong set of moral codes, and that I think is what Watain is doing, in a very big sense.\u00a0 We deliver that danger and almost forbidden passion that uncomfortable over passionate feeling that rock music can have and we do it with blood and fire and all of Hell’s fury. Let me put it like this, we\u2019re going to constitute a nice contrast to the rest of the bands on Soundwave judging from the line up ha ha<\/p>\n

From what I\u2019ve seen your live show is a spectacle, will you be bringing everything you normally use to Soundwave with you?<\/strong>
\nYes.\u00a0 It is actually being shipped tomorrow I heard.\u00a0 There\u2019s a tonne of steel floating its way down to Australia tomorrow.\u00a0 It\u2019s actually a tonne, that was pretty fun to hear, apparently we\u2019ve collected a tonne of stuff now so that\u2019s good.\u00a0 We wanted to bring everything, it\u2019d be kind of a shame when we\u2019re coming to Australia for the first time and I know people might have been looking at YouTube clips or read about this whole spectacular thing and it would\u2019ve been weird to just show up with guitars you know what I mean?\u00a0 We try as hard as we can not to do that anywhere anymore you know.\u00a0 There\u2019s no real economical win in that kind of reasoning as it\u2019s pretty costly shipping that much steel but actually in the end I think it\u2019s worthwhile, otherwise there\u2019s no reason.\u00a0 We\u2019re bringing the whole shebang.<\/p>\n

This being your first time to Australia, are you aware of a big Black Metal community down here?<\/strong>
\nI was back in the day.\u00a0 Australia was really a high fit, it was a cornerstone of black and death metal scene in the 90\u2019s especially in the early 90\u2019s with bands like Sadistik Exekution and Destroyer 666, they sort of emigrated to Europe and most of them stayed and kept a pretty low attitude.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how it is today, I have a lot of contacts there still but I have the feeling that many of the people that are involved in Extreme Metal are reluctant to get out and see us at Soundwave, judging from the rest of the line up you know ha ha but it\u2019s kind of weird but what the fuck you know, we do what we can.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n<\/a>You\u2019ve just celebrated your 13th year as a band and recorded your show in Stockholm for a DVD release.\u00a0 When can we expect that and what will be on the DVD?<\/strong>
\nThe initial plan was to make a concert DVD, you know one of those nice concert DVD that we thought would turn out spectacular due to the whole nature of the show but of course we fucked up and it turned out to be an epic journey through the whole band\u2019s history and it turned out to be a movie instead.\u00a0 Which has left us with one or two months of extra work,\u00a0 a lot of hard work but in the end a really fucking spectacular result and I think it was worth it in the end.
\nWhen is that going to be released?<\/strong>
\nit\u2019s going to be out in April, unfortunately it won\u2019t be out around Soundwave, but the plan is actually to have it shown in Independent theatres and then released on DVD further on because as we watched the whole thing we though \u2018Fuck this is much more than a DVD.\u2019\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to say too much about it, but it turned out to be quite something.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been 2 years this year since your last album, have you been working new material for a new release?<\/strong>
\nYeah of course, we have, but Watain first of all is a chaotic thing in itself, it\u2019s like one day we are totally focused on making the new album and the next day we\u2019re all \u2018fuck it let\u2019s go on tour\u2019 and the next \u2018ah let\u2019s do bad things for a week and not give a fuck about the band\u2019 and we\u2019ve all been a bit too much on the wild side lately since the last album came out to get anything concrete together.\u00a0 The plan is when we get back from Australia we have one month in the USA and then we\u2019re pretty much going to do the new album, hopefully it\u2019ll be recorded this year, we have a lot of ideas already.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the usual process behind the writing of a Watain song?<\/strong>
\nThe usual process I would day is to absolutely have no process whatsoever because I think process in a band like Watain means limitations, it means, I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s just complicates things you know.\u00a0 We really dive into the song writing blindfolded you know and hopefully we come up to the surface with something in our hands you know.\u00a0 It sounds weird when I speak about it and it is weird to speak about, I think it\u2019s really like one of the hardest questions and hardest things to speak about, creativity the way it works and the way you work with it, to me it\u2019s definitely not related much at all to the human spirit it comes from a completely different force and that\u2019s why I have a hard time putting words to it.\u00a0 It\u2019s big and abstract you know.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>If you look back to the beginning of the band and your first album in 2000, how do you feel that you\u2019ve grown and a songwriter and performer?<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t know.\u00a0 Some important things remain, like what other people see as over pretentious and over serious uplift that we have on our own being and our own work. We\u2019ve always considered Watain to be a brotherhood or an order rather than a band and that\u2019s something that we started out as and have maintained perhaps maybe even stronger over the years.\u00a0 One of the interesting things that I find very inspiring myself is that we started out as a calm band, we\u2019ve always been a bunch of rowdy mother fuckers, but we started out aesthetically we started out pretty clean.\u00a0 Not that challenging at all, our first shows they were without make up and they were without much of a stage show at all, and the cool thing over the years it\u2019s just gotten worse, it\u2019s all gone to fucking hell and I\u2019ve realised that\u2019s a pretty rare thing in the end.\u00a0 If you look around, most extreme metal bands go exactly the opposite direction, they start out very mean and extreme and they sort of calm down over the years, that\u2019s the way it usually goes you know and for us it\u2019s gone the other way around, so it\u2019s going to be really interesting to see where the fuck we end up in the end ha ha.\u00a0 That is one of the most interesting things about this progression part that it\u2019s done in this direction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong>As a believer and follower of Satanism , what is it that you hope to get across to people in your music?<\/strong>
\nWell when it comes to religion and to Satanism, Watain is not really about making others think the way we think, it\u2019s never been about that.\u00a0 The way I use Watain in a satanic context is to explore the subjects that it involves, I mean from my own personal spiritual journey and for my own personal sake you know.\u00a0 How it reflects on the listener is a whole different feel, because first of all, let\u2019s just state the simple fact that most people that are into metal are not that all interested in philosophical questions, especially not philosophical questions of a religious kind or a magical kind, that\u2019s something that very few will say that they are.\u00a0 It allows for people to open their hearts to something they may never have faced otherwise, Watain is of their own consistent powers and energies that are strictly and fundamentally connected with diabolical things, with satanic things and what those things are are what people are willing to dive into Watain to realise and to explore.\u00a0 That\u2019s what I think that we have to offer that many bands don\u2019t.\u00a0 If people want something more out of their musical interests then they can find that in Watain, there\u2019s a lot more to discover under the surface.\u00a0 I don\u2019t tell people that they have to but there\u2019s a lot more to discover if they\u2019re interested you know.\u00a0 I think one of the things that I realised in this 13 years, in the past I\u2019ve been trying to explain a lot of our view points and I\u2019ve been trying to define them and make people understand where we come from, and I realised in the end maybe it\u2019s not all that worthwhile it has not really lead to anything good me trying to do that, it\u2019s better to let those who are genuinely interested to let them have that part of us you know, and then people can see us the way they want, one thing is sure we will always be a satanic band.<\/p>\n

Over the 13 years, what has been the most rewarding part of being in the band?<\/strong>
\nI think the feeling that being with the same persons throughout all these thirteen years, the three core members of the band are still the three core members of the band, and being able to do something this life altering together with the same people to be able to achieve what we have achieved without compromising, without fucking around, without feeling like an idiot about anything.\u00a0 To be able to do that and keeping our heads high, that\u2019s our greatest achievement for me.\u00a0 Sticking together and making it more and more important not less important, more important for ourselves.<\/p>\n

Just for something different, what does a band like Watain have in their Backstage rider?<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t know, when it comes to the specific, more spicy ingredients of the show, we never entrust promoters or gig organisers to fix that for us, we always take care of that ourselves because it\u2019s something that we learned along the way asking for certain things.\u00a0 I guess our rider looks pretty much like the common thing, we ask for a bunch of candles and a bunch of incense just to set the mood in the back stage because we don\u2019t like the hospital lit, sterile lit back stage, we like to have an atmosphere in the back stage but apart from that, it\u2019s nothing really out of the ordinary.\u00a0 We are what\u2019s out of the ordinary I guess ha ha.<\/p>\n

Lastly, do you have a message for Australia?<\/strong>
\nIf people really want a rich festival experience then they should come and join the ceremony, because it\u2019s going to be something else, that much I can say, it\u2019s going to be quite different from the other bands from what I can gather.\u00a0 Come with an open heart, that\u2019s the main thing.\u00a0 A lot of people often laugh and joke when they are confronted with something that is too much for them, and that\u2019s fine, that\u2019s a human thing to do, but I mean try.\u00a0 Come to a Watain concert and try to take it for what it is, it\u2019s a ceremony and you can be a part of it.<\/p>\n
