For anyone who is interested in Vampire, I dare say that this interview is a must-read. Published today by the site Towards The Inevitable, it is an insightful piece chalked full of interesting perspectives. While it doesn't speak much about the self-titled album released last year, it does go into depth about several of the other projects that Vampire has and is working on.

The band is set to release a mini-LP entitled 'Cimmerian Shade', which was previously unknown to me. The interview provides background and information regarding the release of this LP, which will only be available on vinyl and as a digital download for the time being. (Personally, I'm hoping for a CD release at some point as I am not a fan of digital downloads and I'm not really a vinyl collector either).

I appreciate the discussion of the video for "The Fen", a track from the self-titled release. It truly is a brilliant piece of work, drawing on so many dark, psychological factors. Borrowing directly from vocalist Hand Of Doom, the video is distinctly Scandinavian and creates an interesting discussion within the interview. There are some unique and intelligent insights in this interview and it's worth checking out.

Kaaos Tv Interview: Mathias 'Vreth' Lillmåns

I stumbled across this interesting and well-done interview with Mathias 'Vreth' Lillmåns, vocalist of Finntroll, this morning. The interview is in Finnish, but there are English subtitles. I particularly enjoyed the discussion of 70000 Tons of Metal, and Vreth's favourite European festivals. Brutal Assault and Metal Days are two of the ones I'd like to cross off my list.
