 Get Ready to ROCK! Interview with Nornagest of extreme metal rock band Enthroned
The press release leaflet that I received mentions Nguaroth as the second guitar player, something that we were first informed about in 2003, but there is not any reference as far as the drummer is concerned.
Am I to assume that you once again had Alsvid sitting behind the drum kit, or is there a new person involved?
Alsvid had to quit the band due to his lack of time, his job did not allow him to tour etc… same goes with Nerath Daemon.

Last but not least, drummer Alsvid adds this quartet’s last, brutal touch.
I find it amazing that Alsvid masters his double bass drums very well and his cymbals, of course typically fl metal, add to the degree of difficulty by being off beat, all the while keeping the rhythm, which reminds me of Immortal.
Seth is one of my greatest fl metal discoveries and I recommend “Les Blessures de l’Âme” to every musician in need of inspiration and of course, to all fans of dark, violent music.
