First thanks for the time you spend for this interview!
Thank you for showing interest and having me on your webpage
When did you start your project Rutthna?
I started making and recording the songs in the spring of 2003
Is it an one man band or are there any other Rutthna members?
If there are other members: who plays which instrument?
On this recording i played and recorded everything myself but hopefully
another guy will do the drums on
the next release. He is a god friend of mine and a very skilled drummer.
I also just want to concentrate
on the guitar, bass and vocals as i already play drums in Thyrfing
Did you release something before "Decomposing Eve"?
No. Not with Rutthna
what's the meaning of Rutthna?
Rutthna (without the h) means rot in Swedish. Rutthna is like a cheap
therapy session. Releasing
some anger upon modern life and it’s structures which I am forced to be
part of. It’s just some healthy
self loathing and hate towards human stupidity
do you plan any new Rutthna
releases?
Yes. I am planning to compose another 4 or 5 songs and release them together
with the songs on
"Decomposing Eve" It might be released by a label or as
another demo. It doesn’t really matter as long
as I enjoy the songs myself. I think it’s economical suicide for a label
to release music like this
nowadays.
do Rutthna have a website or are there
any plans for one?
Not yet. I have asked Patrik of Thyrfing who is the master of that kind
shit to make one for me. A simple
website just for downloading the songs or something like that
with which
band would you compare Rutthna?.
gah...bllaaa...I don’t know...Hard question...Eminem maybe! I leave the
comparing to you if its OK.
how can people get your demo CD
"Decomposing Eve" ?
Send 4€ to the following address
Joakim Kristensson
Myggdalsvägen 98
135 43 Tyresö
Sweden
Can you tell me something about the lyrics?
I only know the song titles "The Fifth Angel"
and "Evolution's End", but i wasn't able to
understand
the lyrics.
"The fifth angel" is inspired by the book of revelations. The
fifth angel is one of seven angels who where
sent here to bring damnation upon us. He was sent to earth to torture
mankind. To torture those without
the seal of god.
"Evolution’s end" deals with disease, the plague if you wish. The
plague in the form of a godlike person
created for the purpose of depopulating and helping nature prevail
Now a maybe difficult question: What's your favorite genre of Metal
Viking-Metal like you play with Thyrfing or Black Metal like Rutthna?
I haven´t heard that many so called Vikingmetalbands exept for Enslaved
so the answer is Blackmetal.
But if Thyrfing is considerd to be a Vikingmetalband and i had to choose
between Thyrfing and Rutthna
the choice is obvious. Thyrfing is a big part of my heart and the guys
in the band are good friends of
mine so i guess i´ll have to change my answer to Vikingmetal then...haha
Will there be a chance to see Rutthna live at a concert or is this
impossible?
Probably not but you’ll never know.
In the
last line you can write whatever you want to:
