  • Keep putting on your makeup you fucking faggot poser!

  • anyone knows, when this video was made?

  • What an awesome fucking dude

  • The True Make-up

  • WLA, Chimera and OAC are great albums.

    I like GDOW, but it's like an Alternative Black Metal album.

  • @AnthemsToTheWelkin Grand Declaration was very much experimental. I love it's uncanny ways and certainly don't give a damn what conservative shit-eating black metal elitists think about it. I've heard something similar to Transylvanian Hunger performed by at least a hundred artists, it's nice to have something new regardless of what genre it may or may not conform to.

  • This guy is one of the most underrated musicians ever. What he did in Mayhem was pure genius, and even what he does in Ava Inferi (gothic metal) is very unique, the way he uses layers and unorthodox riffing is incredible. You gotta really pay attention to his compositions

  • His name is Rune ERIKSEN. He`s not a fucking swede..

  • @MakkaPakka666 My surname ends in SEN and I make sure people know that if they're uncertain on spelling. Swedish and Danish men are too feminine for my liking...

  • Blasphemer is one of the best guitarist is METAL. \m/

  • mayhem suck.

  • @wormsinfestedfetus

    you suck!

  • Probably a bad time to interview him, imho. Seems a little distracted.

  • Hey Maniac, it's 11:30 in the morning... WHO'S BEEN DRINKING!?

  • @DarthKrattus he had stage fright back then...and he was drinkig to get through the live performances...

  • Maniac pushed Blasphemer down the stairs, that and he started finishing of the bottle as seen at 1:05

  • @Mathaius833 au contraire-blasphemer kicked maniac down a flight of stairs. he also smashed his face into a wall. all things considering, i am actually surprised he did not do it before

  • Aww he's making himself look pretty. 

  • @metalmick2666 or covering something up....

  • I like the name Rune... :)

  • @abduscias actually rune is a very popular nordic scandinavian name

  • maniac in the background awesome this was in marsiele great concert

  • Runescape

  • @maikou666 -,-

  • one thing ive learned about BM fans .. your like fucking high school bitches

    'that enough makeup' 'he cant do that' .. yes they can shut the fuck up you snotty little brats and just fucking enjoy the music

  • I hate when metal bands use make up

  • All the Mayhem albums have good things on them.

  • Ordo Ad Chao was good. Many of the riffs were very close to the style of Euronymous. Too bad he left just after making a very good album.

  • @HorridDreams Left? He got killed. lol

  • @YTisMyPlaylist I was talking about Blasphemer :P I think the riffs on Chao Ad Ardo were really cool (and similar to Euronymous).

  • What a guy... One of my all time favourites, will miss you in mayhem!

  • Ok, that`s enough make-up, stop it.

  • Maniac...I HATE YOU!

  • Chimer and Ordo ad Chao! One of the fucking best albums in the world from the best black metal band!

    Hail Blasphemer! You did an awesome job!

  • @AdrielSouza

    Are you kidding? Euronymous was a cowardly egomaniac, watch 'Until The Light Takes Us', he doesn't come out of it well. taking pictures of Dead's body was lower than low. Blasphemer is ten times the man and musician he was.

  • When hes ready with make up he probably will look like LADy GAGA

  • What many of you get wrong is you think Blasphemer is putting on makeup to look "pretty", which is not the case,the makeup is there to neutralize the face.Even the guys in Cannibal corpse probably use makeup.

    And to all of you complaining about his wiggling with his hair: if you had long hair yourself you´d probably understand why. There arent really that many artists who has the balls to give interviews Before their concerts because of things like this or nervousness.

  • This guy lives here in my country, plays in Ava Inferi. I traveled through all northern Europe in winter .it is so amazing, i really love the nature and cold. In my country there are also nice things such as ancient megalitic stones,castles and some nature but the climate here in Portugal, in summer is unbearable. I myself have a hard time when temperature rises up to 25º, 30º celsius!!! I wonder how this nordic guy can stand this horrible portuguese weather...

  • Loads of respect for you.

  • he is ERIKSEN, not Erickson!

  • veche frocio cazzo.. e questo sarebbe black metal? che pagliaccio frocio di merda.

  • He should not paint his face with skin colour! He shult paint his face with black and white!!

    This isn't BM-Style.

  • this guy is a great guitar player and i think he's way better than EURO. so stop bitching about the old mayhem...'cuz there is no such a thing as the old and the new mayhem it's just MAYHEM and even though i don't like GRAND DECLARATION.... album hey!!!! they try to break boundaries with that album but my personal opinion is that they failed--- DEITY OF BLACK METAL= MAYHEM

  • I don't really like this guy. He seems so narcissistic. And he puts on his make-up like a faggot.

  • @H3LLSENT Ok. Maybe he even is a faggot, who knows. But who cares? His music is great

  • @Nomekiller \m/ youre total right!! Hails!

  • @H3LLSENT you might seem "narcissistic" too if someone kept comparing you to a dead guy.

  • maniac was drunk. o.O

  • he says everything better. mayhem now adays sucks compared to the old albums

  • Lo mejor es ver como mueve el cabello..

    Parece un travesti...

    JaJaJa...

  • Haha.. i bet Maniac just want to hit Blasphemer in the head with a sledgehammer right there....

  • @Drummerdrok666 i'm sure maniac can tell you all about blasphemer and how you shouldn't piss him off around stairwells...

  • Risyros is right blasphemer  is a very good musician,i dont know about he's personality and i really dont give a damn about musicians personality,my relationship with em is just music nothing else,and by the way actually one of he's fav album is marilyn manson holywood! (this for the kid who made the marilyn manson comments)!...grow up...also how can anybody deny the great job blasphemer did in chimera?!!! for fuck sake!!!

  • @zolad he's actually a very nice guy

  • Blasphemer is an Asshole, fuck him _|_

    R.I.P Euronymous

  • I'd say they are both pretty good musicians, but you on the other hand, are a fucking Cunt, so fuck off.

  • @BlackMetalMarduk I didn't question Blasphemer's musical talents, because surely he's an incredible musician; I just don't like his personality. Because talking about Ideologies/Philosofies and Beliefs, Euronymous was an incredibly stronger figure compared to him. So, if you like Blasphemer, offense. It was just my plain opinion about him.

  • HE plays with his hair more than i see paris hilton play with hers!!!

  • @sgtzero1337 You'd play with your hair that much if you were as sexy as he is.

  • Put on proper make up, blasphemer, you bender - use corpsepaint or something artistic or don't bother.

  • he apparently was working with mezzerschmitt at the time as well-he mentions "two side projects"...not sure if the other was his continued contributions to aura noir...

  • what the fuck are we watching here,marilyn manson??we want mayhem!!...when dead and euronymous died mayhem died with them...they are fake!!!fuck them!..they think they are making mayhem better,huh!...just hear freezing moon and tell me if they are better that this now..

  • I laugh a lot seeing him with make up, like a hollywood interview lol. But what a pitty he left Mayhem. This guy has his feet on earth, down to earth. And i totally loved that he doesn't have ego problems like some musicians in the black scene. He's not a shit eater. Fabulous and great personality.

  • lmao, i know what u mean, this interview doesnt seem like its for mayhem

  • @Risyros He's a very cool guy

  • @Risyros Rune is an awesome person. He is very accommodating to his fans.

  • I dont understand most of this music and i suppose thats ok but i respect them as musicians and a perfecter in their craft. I am catholic but i believe people have the right to say whatever they want. Im all for the metal! \../

  • really great guitarist but he looks so fucking gay...I guess his hair is more important to him than it is for paris hilton (for example)..

  • Long hair is important. It's not just hair. And I don't mean the I-managed-to-tie-my-hair-with-­a-band-in-the-back-of-my-head-­and-now-I'm-happy kind of "long" hair.

  • yeah im the nigga that raped her metal look at my pic im the sickest!

  • He looks like a spaniard.

  • yeah he looks like hes from mexico...........hes an immigrant!Hahahahahaha!

  • @BrutallyGrim1 there are a lot of black-haired norwegians

  • @Blargaha thanks to clairol for men

  • Who cares. im hispanic. the funny thing is how he flips his hair between responses and grooms his face between his sentences

  • @badseed136 he moved to portugal

  • he's a prophet of black metal. Hail Rune!

  • i agree inheritor8,

    hes a great guitarist and you look at what hes done in the band filling in for a legend hes done a great job. Some of his woks ARE better than euronymous'. Listen to "Fall of Seraphs" and youll know what im talking about.

  • I find it very unfortunate that Blasphemer gets alot of shit from ignorant fucks such as below. You have to understand the type of burden he had to shoulder in becoming the new guitarist of Mayhem. I applaud his patience in interviews and I greatly respect his work in Mayhem, because I do enjoy old Mayhem, I think current era Mayhem is far more potent and violent in sound. Ordo Ad Chao was a fucking masterpiece. Hopefully Rune found peace after leaving Mayhem and focusing on Ava Inferi. Hails.

  • @Inheritor8 I completely agree, his guitaring is the most unique, and atmospheric of all of black metal.

  • the true mayhem was when dead and euronymous acting !! blasphemer is not for mayhem not even maniac !! dead 4ever!!

  • Good interview. He is such a diva. =P

  • nice hair flips you fucking ass clown

    :D good guitarist tho

  • Mayhem is not just named about their past at all. All its history names it! They're really great!

  • don't think so, but here he looks like a faggot, that's true

  • he is the best black metal guitarist of al times

  • Does anyone know what equipment he uses?

  • Ibanez guitar&peavey 5150.

  • @coolman4393 with mayhem, either crate or peavey, playig a warlock with gibson p-ups

    With ava inferni, different ibanez prestiges and peavey amps

  • misspelled...

  • He now lives in Portugal(looks like he's FROM it too xD), playing in the goth/doommetal band Ava Inferi...

  • not anymore he doesn't-he let his black dye grow out and he's the blondest norwegian i've ever seen. also, he stands out against the portuguese, as they are obviously wee folk in portugal...

  • Really? Wow. Ok. Without black hair I bet he stands out:P Still, he plays in a Portugese band:P

  • With his Portuguese wife

  • Yes, Carmen:P

  • Grand dec. is fucking mean,

  • have you got a mancrush on blasphemer?

  • I have a mancrush on blasphemer

  • dude-you really did not have to share that :P

  • 1:00 Ok, Maniac, put down that bottle know!

  • Comment removed

  • Rune is just as good as euronymous if not better fuck anyone who does not think so.

  • have you listend to the deathcrush album?

  • yes and i think it kicks ass to.

  • Haha mad dis!

  • they look so gay putting on their make up

  • still living in 92?

  • Rune saved Mayhem with his genious, and left them as they were about to kill themselves and their name. Rune is an amazing musician, and he knows it. So the fuck what? Make-up, corpsepaint, same fucking thing. Ava Inferi is amzing music.

  • Hellhammer saved Mayhem!

  • elitist prick?

  • what a qeer

  • Rune is cool.

  • And why is that?

  • Fuck that. Rune is a great guy.

  • he also has fantastic taste in art ;)

  • Blasphemer is a tool. He should stick to guitar and shut the hell up. If he was in my band, I would stomp him for wearing makeup. There is no excuse for this.

  • its black metal dude

  • is rune gay?

  • he looks fucking latino him and hellhammer!Wtf!

  • coz rune is latino his real name is EL RUNO ERIKSON xD,

    when mayhem was in chile i saw to hellhammer and he look like american musician or mediterranean,he don't pass like norwegian or latino...blasphemer now has painted his hair blonde again,if you didn't saw the lastest photos with ava inferi...but mezzerschmitt rulz \m/

  • his actual hair color is blonde. if you see photos of him near the end of mayhem and in the beginning of ava inferi, you see him letting the black grow out.

  • way.....too much make up for black metal. The intial idea of the corpse paint was to look like a black plague era corpse. Dead was the only one to actually put black underneatht he nostrils to replicate dried blood. These guys now a days are way too influenced by the big arena metal acts.

  • you said it.

    this is embarrasing.

  • maniac is hittin the sauce pretty hard, man.

  • Does anyone know why Blasphemer was chosen as the guitarist to continue Mayhem? I've never really heard a concrete explanation & I've always wanted to know.

  • Hes better then Euronymous,by far

    Euro is more famous for getting stabbed then his music

  • ...except for the immortal riffs on "De Mysteriis..", you cunt.

  • De mysteriis is wat it is because of :

    Hellhammer

    Varg

    The lyrics Ohlin wrote

    Euronymous is quite good on that album,but there are tons of better extreme metal guitarists,Trey Azagthoth,Chuck Schuldiner ,,even Abbath is better then Euronymous

    And the guy was pretty stupid too

  • oh, you KNEW Euronymous?

    You're smarter than him?

    Everyone plays THE RIFFS from "De Mysteriis.."

    you're confused.

  • He's a very nice guy.. he is not arrogant or any bullshit like that.. I've watched way more ugly/bad interviews than tthat, he answered the questions clearly and with a smile.

    Hes one of the best Black Metal guitar players out there.. lets put the whole "true Mayhem" thing aside.. the things he did with Mayhem are incredible especially "Ordo Ad Chao".

    I'm looking forward to see whats next for him...

  • Yo soy un pato y pico caca XD

  • watch blasphemer's arrogant answers and maniac's response

  • i think blasphemer was getting pissed, especially when he was cut off and when the follow up questions bring the conversation back to euronymous. he's probably arrogant, but then again, so are most other artists. you can tell though in his body language the guy was seriously bothering him.

  • also, in the beginning of the interview, i think the face blasphemer makes at the camera is a sort of silent way of him saying he's fucking with this guy

  • He still answered the questions, so not so arrogant...

  • (interviewer) 'Isn't it a dream of a child's [sic] to play in a band?'

    (blasphemer) 'A dream? Well, uh, yeah, you know, it's good for them I'm in the band...'

    Not arrogant?

  • dont take that answer for serious ! it was a joke, he's being cynical. and maniac laughted at it.

  • my my-someone did not take their meds today! i will restate myself also-band chanes and musicians dying happen. bands go on. one of my fav bands is hawkwind and if they changed their name every time they changed line ups, they would have run out of words by now. there was something else i needed to say to you...oh, yes-go blow a goat.

  • that is "bands change"...not used to this keyboard yet...

  • if you're expecting blasphemer to sound like euronymous, you are silly. blasphemer is younger and is his own person. also, if every band that had a member that died changed their name the rolling stones and metallica would have been very short lived. line up changes and deaths happen and bands continue on-get over yourself.

  • Cool guy.

  • If Blasphemer is gay...What the fuck is wrong with that? Grow up ya fuck wits. :)

  • if blasphener is gay, someone better let his wife in on it.

  • He's married? Never knew that. Where did you find that out?

  • he does bnot come out and say it, but he has hinted it in interviews and others have told me tyhat carmen of ai is his wife. furthermore, when i was talking about artwork for the upcoming album, eveything was "carmen and i".

  • Never heard of her before. I've also never heard him mention a woman called Carmen. :\

  • here's from an interview, rune speaking:

    I usually come up with riffs...So, when Carmen comes home from work I play her some riffs...

    from imhotep, norwegian music site

  • and i contacted his sister-in-law-he's definately married...can't say i'm not jealous of it either. he's a nice guy-not at all arrogant.

  • Ego maniac...

  • stare at 3:33

  • Blasphemer's thought: "This idiot is just going to keep pushing this issue..."

  • hem.. he's not a drummer

  • yea his the guitarist and the greatest one mayhem ever had

    hellhammer is teh drummer and his fucking awsome

  • the 'make-up' is just a lighter version of his corpse paint, and shaking his head like a girl is just an opinion thing.

  • you put make-up on because stage lights, especially i think for this show as it was being filmed, tends to screw up how a person looks. and even in footage i have seen of other norwegian bands, such as emperor, it is not unusual for head movement when talking. t have footage of samoth where he constantly nods his head when talking.

  • Your just jealous cos' he's prettier than you. :)

  • i personally think he's hot...definately would not kick him out of bed on a cold night...

  • Mayhem is dead. It has been for a very long time. I have never liked this guy(blasphemer). And wtf. he's using make-up. In metal you are suppost to look dirty, especially in Black Metal, shitty corpsepaint, shitty clothes.

  • and corpsepaint is not make-up, i take it....and he would not look "dirty" under stage lights, he would look washed out and sick. stage lights show off all the wrong features.

  • wtf?! Because I think womens make-up shouldn't be used by men and I think that this fucker Blasphemer ruined alot with the band I deserve to die? Euronymous would have pissed his pants if he would have known who was going to replace him and what would happen with his band.

  • then you'd be very glad to learn that there is some evidence that euro was gay. WHATEVER, i dont care. the fact is that euro's death was the best thing that could ever happen to mayhem. with blasphemer they did something NEW instead of raping the same old fucking schemes. they fuck you and other fucking idiots in the ass by breaking all the stupid fucking limits of this stupid fucking genre FUCK YOU. sorry im drunk btw,

  • 'Replacing a dead guy's shoes is NEVER easy' lol

  • they'd get raped in prison...such bad asses...what a joke.

  • why does blasphemer look mexican!

  • because he dyed his hair black, has brown eyes and a foppy goatee at that time. he should not have used the dye at all-he has beautiful blonde hair.

  • rune is the coolest musician!

  • he shouldnt use a stage name,his real name is even cooler!

  • Hails The Gods of Black Metal !!!!!!!!!!!

  • great great band!
