"The last thing I want is to become popular; my music, in its essence and form, can NOT be popular, it is impossible and would be a contradiction. We do everything to make our music horrible and vile, it can only please to ugly hermits, I never understood the buzz around Peste Noire (and I agree with those who don't get it)"

"Recreating a typically Black Metal atmosphere is very difficult, especially when it comes to finding the right sound and place to perform such a gig. In a live setting we are forced to bring out the METAL, rock'n'roll, and punk elements to the detriment of the BLACK and mystical elements of our music."

"This whole system of defective downloading and immediate consumption truly makes me puke. The CD, as an object, is no longer a sacred item which one would have to wait for, which one worked hard to be able to purchase and listen to on a good stereo system also purchased after time and effort."

"Why would I be a neonazi when the Nazis did all they could to take over France and fuck its citizens over, a nation they had no respect for whatsoever?"

"We don't give a rat's arse about our fans. We only respect ourselves and do what we do only for our own pleasure."

"If I want to record reggae music, I will record reggae music. Now that I come to think of it, the next Peste Noire album will be pure reggae. We like to have a good laugh in Peste Noire."

"The Internet is what has drawn Black Metal to the masses, a new age where everything is accessible to all types of fools at any time of the day, a new era where misanthropes gather at online communities wanting to make as many friends as possible."

"When I hear how these people managed to ruin the sound of my songs by putting them on myspace or youtube, I think I'd rather die than be the composer of those songs."

What a character. I couldn't finish it without laughing my ass off.

This is my favorite part: "I am available at anytime of the day for a fistfight or any type of sword or crossbow duel."

Fantastic interview.

[Piraan]

Yeah, he sounds bold, and very cool!

[Embryoyo]

Why is the second language French?  I understand they are French, but so what?  Why not German, or Spanish or some shit?  Whatever... I'll read it soon!

This guy sounds like a total idiot. A part of the growing "I'm not racist but I hate everyone in my country who are not my race" school which also included the bassist from Winterfylleth. It was in a way bound to happen. Absolutely no one is scared of plain vanilla Satanism anymore apart from a few stray nutjobs who become the figures of very public ridicule - like the guy in Finland who banned the very publicly Christian Alice Cooper from performing at a venue because he consider's Cooper's show Satanic. Props to the person who had the patience to listen to the rambling incoherence of this sad stupid man.

[HathyaSaiBaba]

Oh also...why do people give guys like this time of the day and pillory Phil Anselmo for saying pretty much the same shit? This guy's about as much of a thuggish redneck retard as Anselmo. Phil probably sings/used to sing better, though.

Once again, precisely to the point. I felt the same. He sounded like he was trying all the possible avenues to look totally awesome, detached and " I don't give a fuck because I'm super kvlt" kind of douchebag.

[rasputin]

haha some of his comments are pretty funny, like his total flick of wolves in the throne room
