Гениален музикант, обичан е тъкмо заради своя талант и сърдечност:
"I was born in Odda
on June 27, 1973. It's a four-hour drive from Bergen. It's an
industrial place where they would make zinc and another type of metal.
The only industry that's still going in Odda is the zinc factory. But
it's a very beautiful place, actually
My mother was a nurse at the hospital there; and my father was a military
chief, and he also did some teaching at high school. They moved there
in the late 60s, but both of them are from the Bergen area. I have no
brothers or sisters. It's only me. We moved to Bergen in '82 when I was
nine, but we spent most of our holidays at my grandparents' farm, which
is 30 kilometres South of Bergen. I can't complain about my childhood. I
had lots of friends, and it was pretty good
I'm in love with Norwegian nature, you know?... I love the mountains, the
fjord, and everything. I grew up with that. The countryside is my place
It started when I discovered Kiss.
But before that it was all about Elvis Presley. I remember when I was
five years old, there was only one TV channel in Norway, and they showed
the show 'Aloha Hawaii'. I had my parents wrapped around my
finger, so they would let me stay up, and watch it, because it was on
after midnight... I was so amazed by the performances. Then there were
bags of candy, and sometimes they would have football cards in them, and
other times they'd have musicians and artists in them, and that was how I
discovered Kiss. I still have those pictures
I collect Kiss memorabilia
and old Kiss vinyl. The fascination with that band will never stop. It
has been a very big part of my life. When I was a kid I had pictures
from magazines everywhere, and I hadn't even heard them yet! They just
looked like gods, like supermen with instruments... One day my father came
home with 'Destroyer' on cassette. We moved to Bergen not long
after that, and a friend of mine had some Kiss records on vinyl, and that
was just amazing to me. The first time I saw the TV commercial for 'Alive 2', and I saw Gene Simmons
breathing fire; I was like 'wow, I wanna be him when I grow up'. You
know what it's like when you're a kid, and you wanna be a fireman, or a
policeman when you grow up. Well, I wanted to be that demon!
We were starved of Rock 'n' Roll in a way. Now you can go on the Internet,
and find out whatever you want; but back then we would buy a magazine,
and see a commercial for a bunch of Metal albums, and we would have to
buy them all! We had to know which one was good, and which one was not.
That was our life, and it's still the only thing I know
Something happened when we discovered bands like Slayer and Manowar,
and Venom, and Motörhead. There was something happening in the music in
the mid 80s. We discovered Celtic Frost, and Bathory too, of course, and
when I hooked up with Demonaz, and we decided to start a new band
together in 1990, I had a clear vision of what we wanted to do, and how
we should look. In 1988 me and a couple of friends of mine - we got
money to buy instruments. I bought a bass guitar and a little amplifier,
and my friend bought a drum kit, and another friend bought a guitar, and we
started rehearsing. I've been doing it ever since that day, May 17,
1988. That was my first band, Old Funeral
The evil side of what we did - that's always been there, and it came from Venom
and Bathory, and the Rock 'n' Roll feel to what we did has always been
there too. It all just developed. It was a form of escape for us.
Demonaz and I just clicked together, and we created our own world. Bands
like Mayhem had their thing, but we were on the West side of Norway
doing our own thing
We grew as musicians, basically. We worked with Peter Tägtgren too, and that really helped. When we made 'At the Heart of Winter',
Peter helped us to become more professional, and head in the right
direction. The unfortunate thing was that Demonaz was no longer able to
play with us, but he
kept writing our lyrics...
We felt we needed a break. We didn't have management, and the spirit in
the band wasn't right, so we didn't feel like continuing. We took a break,
and said we would wait for the right time to come back. It took a few
years. We didn't plan it, but it was the smartest thing we could do
The I material was Immortal stuff which didn't work with Immortal at the
time. Working with Ice Dale was
fucking great. We also had Demonaz working with us. I was just figuring
out what the fuck I should do. It was a difficult time, but working on
that album really helped
I was surprised by the offers we were getting for headlining festivals like Wacken.
There was a very different reception from the audience after all those
years. I really felt like people missed us. There's a new generation of Metal fans now too. Without the Internet we would never have been as
popular
When we started Immortal, Black Metal wasn't even thought about by anybody. The Florida Death Metal
scene was popular at the time, but that wasn't the way we wanted to go.
We wanted to do something different... There is something missing in the
music scene today. It's hard to explain, but we were doing it our way
with no rules. We never had any rules in Immortal. We didn't follow any
ideas of what's popular"
