First Zemial, now this. Fucking Legends. Greece along with Norway were the pioneers of second wave of Black Metal back in day. Thanks for the magnificent interview/upload.
Thanks for your comment! Still missing Necromantia and Rotting Christ and my work with old Greek legends would be be done :) (Don't forget that I did Kawir, too!)
If Rauta could be transferred to a zine I can imagine it raw Xerox print like in the old days, the sound of street noises and passionate talking brings me that feeling... Favourite album of Varathron is for me Walpurgisnacht, I remember when I was hiking to the birth place of Zeus in Crete in the mountains, pure romantic Hellenic metal majesty.
The latest Varathron album exceeded all my expectations. This pearl will definitely go to my collection. It seemed to me alone that in the background Poseidon splashed into the sea?
Great interview(er) and band, still listen to Walpurgisnacht and his majesty at the swamp since many years. They are the masters in hellenic black metal together with rotting Christ and Necromantia ! Respect that they are still strong and for releasing superb albums!
Metalbrother Rauta....great interview from a legendary Band . Bravo ,the spirit and the flame still Alive...!!!!!!. But these bands was the patriarchs, prime artists for HELLENIC BLACK METAL SCENE, I hearing almost every day.... Zemial...Deviser...Agatus... Necromantia ,Tatir ,Thou Art Lord , I have got tapes ,so many tapes, Authentic..the most of all...Nightfall,Odes Of Ecstasy,Kawir and not only for Athens or Thessaloniki, but especially 90s...there was so many metal Bands....for al metal scenes, Unfortunately the most of all,gone.done.(sorry for my English) Great interview Hail Varathron...🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻😈 Greetings from Northeast Greece3🤘🔥🔥🎸🔥🔥🤘🤘🔥🤘🤘😈🤘🏻
varathron is dark, epic, majestic and brutal, i don't say black metal, they have a mix of black, death, orchestra music, thanks for this my friend great interview. his majesty at the swamp my favorite album.
for question in 13:00 because the black metal scene and generally rock/metal scene in Greece it has a very high percentage of left/far left ideologies.So to talk about ancient Greece is regarded right or even nationalistic as such they prefer to talk about occult satan as a reaction to christianity which is the majority religion in Greece ex Rotting Christ. But as you can notice the antichristianity is in the form of anticatholicism.
I would never have imagined seeing Stefan doing a video interview. Since he always answers interviews in capital letters I expected him to scream all the time though, haha
That tells maybe more about the zines (and the lack of editing thereof) than about the person answering. Stefan is a very friendly and calm person. A real gentleman based on my encounter with him. I hope more people get to meet him!
@@RautaMetalJust kidding, I only mean because capital letters always look like talking loud. It´s his personal note. I think Stefan always seemed very down to earth and I appreciate how he still cares about the current scene. A living legend, wish more old bands would have this attitude.
Thank you! I do write for imperiumi.net (website) and Inferno these days, but only reviews and occasional gig/festival reports. I used to write interviews, too, for Imperiumi, Inferno and my own webzine Inquisitionist a few years ago, and I used to have my own opinion & phenomena metal blog called Metalpit.
Great interviews but dude you really need to do something about the horrible audio of some of these videos, I can hardly hear what is being said besides a lot of hiss. Same thing with the Archgoat interview, you can hardly hear a damn word due to all the wind blowing into the shitty cell cam mic or whatever these are being filmed on.
Thanks. Well, like I said, the mic busted us out in the beginning of this interview. It worked for like 2 mins and then went mute. Couldn't see that coming. Archgoat was a different case: back then it was the second time for my camera guy to do an interview on video and he had forgotten the wind cover for the mic.

None of the videos have been done on cell cams but real cameras.
Unfortunately the mic didn't work, so we had to improvise. With better speakers & headphones you can actually hear what they say. I could even though I used some cheapish computer speakers.

Rauta, you are a great interviewer, and that's because you are more interested in the answers than your own questions.
Two thumbs up.
Thank you! You're absolutely right: without interesting answers my questions would be meaningless.

Great interview!!! Thank you for posting 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you. My pleasure.

Varathron are my favorite Greek bm band, great interview even with the environmental noise great to see an interview with them
Yeah. Sucks that our mic busted with this interview :/
@@RautaMetal yeah definitely sucks when that happens but at least it's mostly audible
This interview is so black metal that the sound has distortion in it
Damn straight. (The mic busted out when it found out this was done with an old-school band.)
Great interview(er) and band, still listen to Walpurgisnacht and his majesty at the swamp since many years. They are the masters in hellenic black metal together with rotting Christ and Necromantia ! Respect that they are still strong and for releasing superb albums!
Cheers!

Yeah, I know what you mean when people do that with caps. It looks hilarious and stupid at the same time.
Great interview as always. Jerry do you write for any music magazine fanzine?
Thank you!

Varathron rulles!
Great interview with oldschoolers. Next time make sure we hear them properly.
Sure. As I wrote there, we couldn't predict my mic dying on me in the beginning.

Cannot.hear.shit.
Use better headphones or speakers. I couldn't without such either.
