If You're Not A "Metalhead" You Better Get The H

A blog for me to dump music things. Most of the time this is an Enslaved fan blog, also a huge fan of Panopticon, Soundgarden, and Wardruna. Main blog is darthfelinus.tumblr.com rateyourmusic.com/~cstenzy last.fm/user/ethica-odini

Heimdal | 2023

“Iver is a great producer because he speaks his mind without frills - as I started working on the new album he suggested a song based on a core of "cross-country-skiing blastbeat”-drums and one guitar - and then shaping the song and arrangement with the other guitar, bass, keys and vocals.

Cross-country-skiing blastbeat is slow, steady blastbeat over a long time. Without fills (now Iver would be without frills and fills), with the intention of creating an almost meditative effect. Think 100-120 bpm; no hummingbird bass drum pedal baloney-videos. Just you, wooden skis, endless planes and snow. Think “Inn I De Dype Skogers Favn” by Darkthrone. It is not about how fast the blastbeat is; it is about how you use it.” - Ivar Bjørnson
