- Interview with Woods
of Infinity
- Woods
Of Infinity ( WOI ) born
at 1999 in Sweden, by Melkor and Ravenlord.
WOI released 4 Full-length album and some
demos and split album. Interview between
Deineath ( Misty-Graveyard Zine ) with Woods
Of Infinity ( Ravenlord ) at 15 Jun 2008.
 Misty-Graveyard
: My greetings to Melkor and Ravenlord. To begin this interview,
please give us information about WOI’s history and music.
Ravenlord : Melkor
could not participate due to unwillingness. We started in April 1999
cause we were listening to a awful demo and thought we could do
better and so W.o.I was created, demo 1 - the northern throne was
recorded the same evening but is not serious enough for spreading,
two months later Skog was released and from that point, we
understood we had something going on and the seriousness was
injected into us. I'm not going to talk of all the things that have
happened to us, no book is to be written here. People obviously
liked us and we were receiving great response.
Misty-Graveyard
:
“Hamptjärn”, your last work, is a masterpiece. Please explain
briefly the philosophy, lyrics, and the idea behind this album.
Ravenlord : Melkor
wanted to to a concept album and I was not against it so we tried
but it was a bit tricky to make it all fit together; words,
feelings, music, arrangements.. but it turned out great even though
it only became half the album. The story is translated into English
on the LP version so buy it cause it's too lengthy to talk of now.
Misty-Graveyard
: We have seen unparalleled and incomparable works done by WOI
during the last 3 albums. “Hejdå” and “Ljuset”, in 2005, created a
great revolution in WOI’s and the entire Europe’s music. Also WOI
shone with “Hamptjarn” again. Tell us about the structure and the
idea of the works such as; “Iakttagen”, “Sakrament”, A Love Story,
and also the “Vid Kedjan Av Kommande År”.
Ravenlord : We
wrote the lyric to Iakttagen on Melkors bed whilst listening to
HEart of the ages with candlelight's lit, we fantasized and wrote.
Sakrament is about me murdering a close friend because the friendly
love I feel for him, I wrote it on the birthday of a friend but who
I thought of whilst writing is a mystery.. A love story was written
when I observed a playing girl outside my window in the early
summer. Could she be my wife? My child?
I don't think we are as revolutionary as you say.
Misty-Graveyard
: At the end of the year 2005, it was told by online zines that you
were preparing for a live gig in Sweden, and also that you were
looking for drums, and bass players. Did you perform this concert?
If so, please explain the details. Are you planning for any
performance in the future?
Ravenlord : I'm
too shy to perform live and to be amongst drinking hordes of
brainless shouting morons is not my pint of Samiclaus, really.
Misty-Graveyard
: You have 3 split albums with the bands “Armagedda”, “Joyless”, and
“Horna”. Each of these bands has an especial style. What was the
reason of choosing them? It’s told that you would have a split album
with the band “Hypothermia”. Please tell us about this.
Ravenlord :
Armagedda wanted to split with us after they've met us in 2002 and
they helped us to reach more die hard
undergroundians. great ep. I've been listening to Forgotten Woods
since 1995 and through e-mail Melkor got in touch with Olav and in
time a split with Joyless were discussed and made reality. Horna's
Shatraug told me that "Förintelse & Libido" was one of the best
demos he ever heard and later suggested a split between our bands
and we were all for it. cute cover. The split with Hypothermia will
come out this year and is fatally delayed, it's going to be a
fantastic release!
Misty-Graveyard
: In my opinion your music and lyrics are always different from the
previous works. Hateful and intact music which for sure performs the
best music of our nowadays Black Metal. The lyrics, in different
styles are very emotional. Tell us about this creative power. To put
in another word, how or where do you see your place in Black Metal?
Ravenlord : We are
a part of the black metal scene and I love each second of it.
Creative power? It's my feeling of unbelonging, hate and loneliness
that invoke my lyrics. a result of a mentally dying person.
Misty-Graveyard
: In your opinion what is an Artist’s mission?
Ravenlord :
Expression
Misty-Graveyard
: One of WOI’s best work is the cover of “Darkthrone”,
“Quintessence”. Explain the idea of choosing this song, and also the
reason of covering “Old Songs” track from “Barry Manilow”. It says
that “Moonlight Shadow” ’s cover was never released officially. Was
there any specific reason?
Ravenlord :
Quintessence was chosen cause as a Satanist I worship the lyric, and
the song is very appealing as well. It's a full feeling cover and
primitive. Old songs vere done cause Barry is the crowned king of
melancholia and grieving, got to know he is jewish too late, 88!
"Moonlight shadow" was recorded the same evening after "Det som
Hände" year 2000. It was a good song we
often listened to during beer
consuming.
Misty-Graveyard
: On of the most general things we have seen in WOI, are using of
bloody dolls and Quean pictures and images. Also, there are lustful
and sensual scenes through some parts of music and lyrics. I am very
curios to know the reason of using them.
Ravenlord : Every
one have dreamt of killing some innocents sometimes and we got a bit
further but still not all the way. blood has a nice colour and
dolls, as those we used, can be beautiful. Sex is
important and pornography enlights a decadent
living.
Misty-Graveyard
: What is your feeling toward the relationship with popular Black
Metal band members such as; “Diabolus” from “Black Funeral”, “Noktu
Geiistmortt” from “Gestapo 666”, and “Malefic” of “Xasthur”, who
worked with you in “Sick” project. What was the reason that Sick got
disbanded?
Ravenlord : We
have no relations to any of those men. the mainman contacted Melkor
and I wrote a perverted lyric. I don't know if Melkor did drums as
supposed. We never heard from him again.
 Misty-Graveyard
: Tell us about your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and interests.
Ravenlord : Again,
no book will be authored. But mainly negative thoughts, I hate to
much and that is not well for me. I carry allot of emotion,
unspeakable. I believe in Satan and the past reich of A. Hitler and
company. We will build a new empire soon and we won't fail.
I'm interested in sexual abuse, strong alcohol, black metal,
occultism, forest wanderings, pornography, self therapy and sauna.
Misty-Graveyard
: In a video clip which has released, there are parts that show
World War II. What were your thoughts behind it? Do you have any
special interest in Adolf Hitler’s goals, racism, and neo-Nazism
theories?
Ravenlord : Yes
We're burning for those matters! The swastikas on my walls welcomes
me home after exhausted days of work. Sweden is suffering allot by
non-european immigrants
and the government are trying to fool our people they have a worth.
Misty-Graveyard
: Among your albums within recent years, which one do you like
better? What are your favorite bands? Are you interested in any
other music style? Do you have any opinion about Persian Black
Metal?
Ravenlord : I
can't say I like one more than the other, there are perfect
emotional moments in all songs. Uppgivet Hjärta is an emotional
favourite. Some great bands are: Baptism, Ophthalamia, Varathron,
Hypothermia, Fleurety, Sturmtruppen, Diaboli and Gaszimmer. I listen
to many kinds of music; some country, blues, melancholy tunes,
industrial and some more. I know no Persian music, I heard Be
Persecuted from China and I liked what I heard, but so close to Iran
ain´t China and I know my geography!
Misty-Graveyard
: Your last words …
Ravenlord : Keep
on hating Israel! Expand the war against the real terror; Israel,
U.S.A, Zionism, Thanks!
