The definite MORBID release. 100% official.

For the first time. For the last time ...

20 years after the sad demise of Per Yngve Ohlin (better known as „Dead“ of MAYHEM fame) Century Media Records are proud to announce the release of „Year Of The Goat“, a historical anthology of the work of Swedish death and black metal pioneers of MORBID. www.morbid.nu

WONGRAVEN WINE Satyr Wongraven, the singer and founder of the Norwegian black metal band Satyricon, launched his own Italian red wines into the Norwegian wine-market. In cooperation with the Italian wineproducer Luca Roagna, who is situated in Barolo in the Piemont district north in Italy, he released the two wines Wongraven Alleanza Langhe Rosso 2009 and Wongraven Unione Barolo 2006. This unholy union with a Italian winemaker and Norwegian black metal pionèer Satyr Wongraven, both highly respected in their own fields, can only be called a success. We had a chat with Satyr himself and here are some of he’s thoughts about winemaking. o Satyr, for most Satyricon fans it’s known that you have a wine interest that transcends the know-how of average wine drinkers. What catapulted your interests into wine?

- Every new experience with a new mind-blowing wine recharges my passion for wine. Whether it is at a tasting for professionals where you taste and spit while approaching the wine analytically, or just enjoying a prescious bottle with friends while listening to some vinyl records. I have always appreciated good food and with Satyricon, I have travelled the world, met people, seen things, tasted

food and tasted wine. You could say it’s been growing on me!

Why did you start out making wines in Piemonte, Italy and what is it with these wines that fascinate you the most?

- Piemonte is one of my favourite regions for wine and home of my partner, wine maker Luca Roagna. In terms of a wide variety in red wine, Piemonte is paramount! Here you can find everything from easy drinking every day wines in a wide range of styles, made from local grapes like barbera, dolcetto, freisa, to highly complex Barolo or Barbaresco made from the nebbiolo grape. There are also some really good off dry wines made from moscato or brachetto and of course good rosé made from nebbiolo.

What would you say is the link between the raw and extreme expression of these wines, and the expression in black metal?

- Both things have to be considered a niche. Despite the enormous rise of Black Metal in popularity, it is still a niche. You don’t see Black Metal bands headlining football stadiums or arenas for that matter. You could argue that a wine like my Alleanza is broad in the sense that it can reach many with it’s fruitdriven, fresh and uncomplicated style and it’s modestly priced. My Unione Barolo is a different animal. Unione is a wine from a single vineyard and therefore a wine made only in small quantities with a matching price tag. The Barolos are not difficult to taste or drink, and they can be enjoyed without any experience. However it does require experience to understand and appreciate why they are so good at their best! I don’t consider any of my wines to be extreme, but they are very traditional and true to their origin. We only use native grapes, no new oak barrels, we don’t manipulate them during the vinification and we don’t use cheimcals in the vineyard.

8

W W W.I NFER NOFESTI VA L.NET

The way I shape them when I blend is finding a balance in the component that brings out the potential elegenance and finesse that lies within. Alleanza should be aromatic, fruity and fresh. Unione should be elegant and refined. Both of them should also say something about where they come from. In my book, even powerful wines needs to be in balance, and my palate is drawn to wines with brains, rather than power. Power is easy. Anyone can hit hard, you just need to train. Elegance and subtleness requires fingerspitzgefühl. The different elements in the wines already have the potential to become elegant and refined.

I am just there to assist in making it come out.

This year you will host a wine-tasting at the IMC and your Wongraven wines will be sold in the bars during the INFERNO festival. Any thoughts on making the average beer drinking metal head a wine lover and will we see a wine revolution in the metal scene ?

There’s some really good beer out there, but for me beer and spirits completely fail to achieve the same level of sophistication as a really good wine. Beer full of character or aged spirits can be really good, but it cannot be sublime! Wine can.

I rarely drink to get drunk, just as I don’t put on a record to have some noise in the background.

I listen to music and I appreciate wine. I think it’s easy for metal fans to relate to this mentality in music and don’t see why it should be any different when it comes to wine.

The interest for wine in metal is already established and it will continue to grow. Look at people like Frost, Nocturno Culto and Gaahl.

Pretty serious about their metal and pretty serious about their wine.
