What band did you discover in 2021 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?
Grandeur.
It brought me out of retirement to do a tape for them. He (Erech) has a pile of great other bands he has records coming out in 2022 as well.
How will you remember 2021? (In terms of music)
Covid lockdowns created a ton of one-man black metal bands and releases that I loved.
Vinyl pressing crippled labels worldwide, further solidifying my continued retirement.
What can we look forward to from you in 2022?
Interest in the continued resurgence of the 2020/21 raw black metal surge. Otherwise, general indifference in doing a label...
What records are you looking forward to most in 2022?
New Kvaen, new Saidan, new Vampirska
What went through your head the first time you played live in 2021 after the delay? (If you haven’t -- what do you anticipate when you hit that point?)
Haven’t. Hope to one day again.
