11:58 He's talking about the Bangalore Open Air festival in Karnataka, India. It was a wicked time. The festival's promoter, Salman, works for Wacken and has been doing something similar in India for the last 12 years. The festival is growing every year, I've vlogged the last 2 years there. Nice to hear Erik talking about India, thanks for the interview.
I was on the camera crew for bloodstock 2012 and I was lucky enough to film their performance, that was the moment where Watain made total sense to me and became one of my favourite bands. They are an absolute force of nature and will never be anything less than vital. This was a fantastic conversation. Power to you sir!
P.s. at bloodstock, on Saturday morning, I was carrying a tripod to the MainStage and Erik walked past. Without me knowing I narrowly missed his head with the tripod as I turned around to look for my crew members. So glad it didn’t connect😅
Bloodstock 2012 was something else! Last show of the Lawless Darkness era.
Absolutely, some fantastic performances that weekend, but Watain took home the gold imo.
Damn man, this is awesome. Never was a huge watain fan, but seeing them live several years ago gave me a deeper appreciation for them. The show still to this day sticks in my mind due to the energy. I will absolutely see them again if given the chance. Great interview as always man!
I almost feel bad for people who never have/will see them live. It's a next level experience. Glad you enjoyed the episode!
Yes! Roud 2 please!!!
Round 2 immediately, always enjoyed Watain Interviews! 👍
listening to Erik is breathtaking just like when I listen to WATAIN's music.
If I were a teacher yet, I would have analyzed this conversation in my classes.
phenomenal and Thanks
🔥🔥🖤🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼
inspiring
and
happy and proud it's two years I'm listening to Iblis Manifestation
you are producing subjects that make our time in best quality.
HAILS
Thank you very much. 🙏🏻
Excellent, eager for round 2!
Great interview, both this and the one with Alvaro! Glad to be lucky enough to have been able to see them in Bucharest a year ago! Definitely the most fierce, profound and enjoyable experience I've ever had in a concert! TTD and far beyond!
What a great interview, thank you!
Seeing Watain for the first time felt like coming home, something i’ve been waiting for all my live without even knowing it 🙌❤️🔥🔱
I had privilege to meet Watain last month at Bangalore Open Air and they were so nice to their fans. Sadly I couldn't say anything during meet and greet besides offering a handshake because it was too loud out there but glad I got a signed card from them and a selfie with Eric, and talking about their performance, it was the highlight of the festival.
Another great episode.
Congratulations Shayan, this is just incredible. I remember when I discovered Iblis Manifestation podcast not long after seeing Watain live last year, and here you are interviewing Erik. Hail brother! 🤘
Appreciate you tuning in.
I had no idea Iranian black metal was a thing but I checked out Trivax after seeing your shirt and holy shit this band is amazing.
Appreciate you checking us out, thanks!
Sonne Adam from Israel is fucking epic too!

Great conversation! Sadly it ended to soon and at the most interesting points. Would have loved to hear more about the spiritual side of Watain. Looking foreward to a possible second part.
Thank you - Part 2 is definitely in the cards for the future!
Deep appreciation for Watain, did not feel such an energy from many bands
They surely stand up with their live shows and overall dedication to the scene
Despite the fact that they've been going for over two and a half decades, their approach to art remains to be a very refreshing thing, especially in today's world.
This was a awesome interview man! This gave me a lot of insight on to how I approach music spiritually. Hope you are doing well man
Very glad to hear that, thanks for tuning in.
Great episode🤟, it would be amazing to see Farida Lemouchi here too.
Of course, I would love to have her on!
Very interesting conversation 🔥
Thank you! 🔥
I'm watching this after the regular ritual I do on my watain jacket (WD #627) and I didn't know you were doing it and I don't believe in coincidence
Would you succ E.?
I love this conversation about the (anti)cosmic energy that can be found in music, and especially Black and Death Metal. It’s rare to hear people discuss the ecstatic sensation of listening to it. It’s almost meditative for me, not in the stillness and quietness of mind way but in an excitatory way. It’s the same feeling you get from the adrenaline rush of extreme sports or sex, like millions of neurons are firing at the same time.
Erik is right. When Metal is done right and when the creators are conscious of the energy they are manipulating - it’s absolutely magic(k)al.
Btw - Shayan you mentioned the testosterone at that performance at the high school in Iran. Just imagine what a crowd of women with synchronized menstrual cycles would be like! Even more savage, I promise. You’d either have a bunch of women who are ovulating, or bleeding, or have premenstrual rage. It would be brutal as Hell! 🤘
🔥🔥🔥🖤
🖤🔥
😈🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤😈 Thanks
I came here for Eric but now I am going to try your band sounds interesting as Fuck
Cheers!
I need this black metal it's a way ov life hail Odin!!!!!!
He communicates with the spirit of the dead, definetely on their live performance, another one is Attila Csihar and Dead had the same approach. Great work here!
Hellow shayan
Does this improve the chances to interview Farida Lemouchi?
