interview with Freddy
/ Ragnarök Extreme metal zine

- What do you think about politic, racism and religion

  • Hmm what to say? Politic is very much the same as religion and I really don’t like religion! The problem with politic is that the politicians don’t live the way we do. They don’t have any clue on what’s going on besides getting their pay checks. And the strange thing is, they are so far from each other, politically, but when they have the power of their own, they do the same as the other parties they don’t agree with ;)
  • Religion is a political game that has been blow out of its proportion. It started out with you as a normal person giving other people, with more power, your money…in the name of God. Why the hell has power and money something to do with money? Why would an all mighty God need you to worship him? If he has the power to create this “perfect” world, why not the perfect man? And is his confidence so small he needs the world to worship him as a God?
  • Racism is stupid, but racism is also a word that is often misused. Racism is when you hate another race because it is another race. Now these days, when you love your own country, you’re a racist.  When you say that I’m born here, it’s my native land and I have the history in my blood, you’re a racist. In my opinion, this is wrong! Should I be ashamed because I’m from Norway and people from other country’s has nothing to do here if they don’t have anything to offer Norway?

- How much important is Nordic mythology for you

  • Very much! Its in my nature, it is in my blood. The strange thing is, before I started to read and learn about it, I had the same view and way of thinking. So I kind of found myself. And I’m very proud of our history!

- If you have some hobby or bizarre manias...

  • Besides music I play football 3 days a week. Bizarre manias? I have to jerk-off
    everyday hehe

- If you have other projects for the future

  • I play in another band called Somewhere beyond. This is somewhat an original band, with lots of power and dynamic. I also have the band Røst as a playing ground, this is massive Norwegian metal :)

- Tell anything passes in your mind :p

  • I wanna thank you for your time and cool questions. I wanna say to everyone who is reading this: Think for yourself and ask question!
