Your thoughts: do you think people will still be creating and listening to black and death metal music 100, 200, 500 years from now?
"There's this romantic notion of metal continuing indefinitely as some deep musical or cultural achievement. But humanity always finds ways to express taboo and dark subjects, whether musically or not.
Venom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Possessed, etc., and the bands that came after resonated with us a lot, and for a variety of reasons. Future generations will have to decide for themselves if there is anything relevant in that music, and that will say a lot about the world in which they live at the time."
