In a brand new interview with Jaimunji, Nergal admitted that he is nonetheless method large on the basic bands in rock and steel, and sees all of ’em each likelihood he will get.
“Each time Weapons N’ Roses are on the town, I am up and I all the time go and test it out. With all these legacy bands, be it Weapons, be it AC/DC, be it fucking Metallica, [Iron] Maiden, within the first place I am a fan of their music. I accumulate their data. I’ve all the time been a fan [of those bands], so far as I bear in mind. And I all the time inform whoever I speak to, man, simply go and see these bands.
“Purchase tickets and go and see [them play], as a result of the time is flying. And it is gonna be in a blink of the attention that Metallica is now not, fucking Maiden is now not. You’d be, like, ‘Oh, shit. I ought to have gone and gone and seen them.’ Yeah, you fucking ought to. So each time these bands come throughout Poland or wherever I’ve an opportunity, [I] fucking go and embrace that as a result of this period is attending to an finish.”
Nergal then touched on the way forward for rock and steel headliners, saying he feels that pool is shrinking. Which is attention-grabbing, as a result of then a couple of sentences later he says he isn’t tremendous into numerous new stuff.
“It is gonna be one other few years, hopefully good years for the [afore]talked about bands and others — there’s extra, however there’s lesser and lesser. It is shrinking, [the list of] large enviornment rock-star bands that I look as much as. I imply, I do know Parkway Drive might be an enviornment band now, however it does not inform me something.
“I do not know what Parkway Drive is. I do not know what Avenged Sevenfold is. I do not know what — who’s Sleep Token? It is not me. It is not my DNA. I imply, I do not fucking get it. It is in all probability good music. It is all nicely performed and massive productions and stuff, however as soon as these giants go away the earth, go away the stage, let’s put it that method — I am lonely. There’s nowhere to go.”
