A question about STORM. Fenriz once said that the idea was good, but the outcome was less than you hoped for.
I think it’s fucking stupid and I’ve told him that. He sort of denied saying that. He told me that he was misunderstood and that’s not what he really said. I said to him, regardless of what you think now, you did like it when we did it. And I think you should stand up for what you’ve done. I think it’s his lack of the ability to take things for what they were. It was actually very good when it was done. Today it would maybe have been a little cheesy. A lot of that material was written mid 1994 (it came out in February 1995). Our cooperation on this project came out of our friendship. I would have done it anyway.
Is Fenriz a person that changes his mind a lot?
Yes, constantly. And he’s proud of it, too. That makes it difficult to work with him. He’s sulking a lot and complaining a lot. But it’s all worth it, because he’s such a good musician. I mean, everybody’s got bad sides.
