I watched that NRK documentary about 2/3 years ago about how
Euronymous wanted to work with South Africans in the early 90’s already,
and wished that such collaborations would happen soon.
Of
course back then (the 90’s) the scene was still young and there was
profuse controversy because of the church burnings, suicides and
eventually the murder of Euronymous (Mayhem) by Varg Vikernes (Burzum).
Because of all that publicity, Black Metal has spread throughout the
world and now, with the internet, such collaborations are finally
possible.
I am thrilled to announce that I was asked by
Norwegian Black Metal band Wrath Passion to do guest vocals on one of
their tracks entitled ‘Black Hole’. Wrath Passion is one of Norway’s
fastest growing new bands and currently number 5 on the ReverbNation
national metal charts for Norway. The final version of ‘Black Hole’ was
uploaded by Wrath Passion yesterday (1 Feb) and as far as I know this is
the 1st time ever South African and Norwegian Black Metal musicians
have worked together in creating a Black Metal piece.
Listen
to the track here on the Verkag myspace or go to the Wrath Passion
myspace or ReverbNation pages.
