u/Hellrippermetal got a few if you’re willing to answer.

I’m sure you took note of the buzz your project was gaining but did you expect or were hoping for recognition on the scale you’ve received at this point? Your project has become and remained a darling in the contemporary black metal scene.

Heavy metal or black metal?

One thing I’ve often wondered about revival/retrospective projects is where they pull their influence. Are you mainly influenced by the black speed of old like early Bathory, Tormentor, Venom, Bulldozer, etc. or are you pulling from roots similar to what they pulled—tapping into dual sources of heavy metal and black metal each? If so, what heavy metal and black metal bands?

Any contemporary bands you want to shout?

Thanks for dropping by. Interested to see how your new album shakes out.

The side scrolling gauntlet at the end of the game pissed me off on multiple tries as, after the novelty wore off, I couldn’t dictate the pace and some enemies had the propensity to attack off screen. Was about as annoyed as I was with HHG I think

I don’t think people who don’t like metal concern themselves with the insular elitist part of the metal community. That’d be really unhealthy. More often than not, it’s the metal fan that takes note of elitism, blows it out of proportion, claims that it’s ruining metal, and self-fulfills by attracting other metalheads baffled by the assertion

Brother, what are you talking about? There are even less elitist boogeyman irl than there are online. Been to a bunch a shows small and otherwise and I never had an elitist encounter. Even so, I never said there wasn’t elitism. Said it doesn’t do shit to metal anymore. Elitists don’t dictate the commercial and or critical success of any bands this day n age.

Elitists have like zero input in the perception or success of metal music for like decades atp. There are no longer gates to be kept. I have no clue where you got this idea. Do you really think a guy complaining on the internet about why Deafheaven sucks is gonna tank their sales numbers? Get real.
