Best band ever …. Ever
All of the musicians in all of the metal and rock interviews refer to Event 2020/Plandemic/COVID as "The Pandemic". No inventive mockery, but rather safe, normie, compliant language.
In order to rise from Hell, you must first fall from Heaven.
Love the Doctor Butcher project as well
I love it when people crying about fascism use fascism to promote their flawed ideologies, but its ok when they do it because they measure the strength of arguments by the level of outrage expressed and not by facts...
Beautiful Sonia Anubis.
Decade Of Aggression was and still is one hell of a double live album. Lost in the 1990s or not.
Excellent interview thanks to the both of you very much.
That is so kind of you to say, thank you so much
At least Slayer were consistent with staying true with their sound and doing what they like to do whether the fans stayed loyal or not, but why wouldn't you. Been a fan since '87 thanks Kerry!
I loved this interview especially when you talked about balancing family life with the life of a performer. Even more things to love about Tomi, the band, and the music
Thank you for that! I think questions about family are rarely asked to men, so I like to throw some when the opportunity allows. Thanks for watching!
@@MetalBlast you are so right! Thank you for doing these interviews and asking interesting and intelligent questions!
When the stillness comes is such a badass song!!!
As a middleaged guy who is a massive metalhead, i loved slayer and merciful fate, when you choose the path of the "adversary" you have to know that on the average you will have animosity toward you.i adhere to libertarian views myself i dont wish you harm, i support your right to be as dumb as you want to be or as smart. How can you look at the world today and blame christians? Your whole premise is that you are fighting the "establishment", you are not. If the ACLU has your back you are part of a controlled demolition of a moral society. Why have a satanic church if you just get together with like minded people and complain about a baphomet statue? If you in fact worship satan why? Is it because you hate good? Is it because you choose the adversary to be subversive? I respect your right to think freely. I just dont see where your beliefs beyond being your right does any good as it is just throwing evil any chance you can. Go for a long walk in the woods, look at the nature around you,and know satan did not create that.
I think I mention in the first minute that no, they don't worship Satan. The ACLU has supported free speech rights of many people, including far right supporters marching in Charlottesville, or even the Klan. Christianity, right now, has a lot of problems. Look into Christian Zionism, for example, and how their end-of-the-world cult is, quite openly, rooting for Armageddon by pushing for more and more support for Israel. Or how, by endorsing Christnianity as part of the state, reproductive rights are taken away. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and any other fairy tale, should not be part of the government. People should be free to believe whatever they want, and they should keep that mythology to themselves. Satan does not exist. Neither does god. Nobody "created" the nature that you see in the woods.
You are certaon of many things. It doesn't matter if you think something is real if there are many others that do. All religions including Satanism or Christianity have a code somewhere it may feel great for some to praise a statue of a hermaphrodite goat, but the list of 10 ways to not be a shitbag seems like a better idea.
@@jasonpelto1164 Again, nobody is worshipping a statue. This isn't a theistic religion. Which of the 10 Commandments do you like? The one that says not to covet your neighbor's wife, ox, or donkey (i.e. women are property), the one about not having bad "thoughts", or the prohibition against other gods (i.e. a theocracy of 1 religion only). It's fine if other people think that god is real. Some people think fairies exist. They're both wrong.
@@jasonpelto1164 it's obvious you spent far more time typing up that long-winded dipsh!t drivel than you did actually listening to the interview. *Yawn*
Thanks!
Christian fascism - driven by christian nationalism - is on the increase in most Western nations. Sponsored and funded by Russia - it puts democracy at significant risk. It is now the most critical point in history, to force separation of State and Church.
Christian nationalism is not the responsibility of Russia. It has been a threat for decades
Спасибо за глаток свежего воздуха маэстро 🙆🙆🙆🙆🤟🤟🤟🌞🌞🌞🌞🦾🦾🦾
Thank you for bringing these viewpoints and perspectives forward for the masses to digest and educate themselves. <3
He is always the well spoken voice of reason.
I think there's a strong argument that someone saying you can't have meaning in life without God or theism is projecting their own nihilism onto others.
Ave Satanas
Lucien is such a well spoken dude. I always enjoy listening to what he has to say.
Lucien is so god damn hot ;)❤
Newton's 3rd for every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. As Lucien says rise of radical liberalism has indeed created the the rise of the extreme right. It also works in reverse and is true of any political or social movement. However as you say starting a Satanic church to oppose extremist Christianity is one of these reactions. Also is it always negative? The starting of Grindcore as a reaction to Hair metal seems a positive.
Hail Satan 🤘
Hail Lucien!

Living in Las Vegas is not cheap lol
She was fundamental for her contribution on Crypta's debut album as well as backing up band consolidading its sound from the beginning.Although she is not a guitarrist of extreme metal,like Crypta is. I think she fits perfectly being in bands similar to Cobra Spell where she is playing right now.
Why didn't you give them the option to remove the photo before asking them for money? You straight up told them they owed you just for innocently sharing it, which isn't very professional. If you want my opinion you're a loser who is using the band's success to try to make money for yourself, which is pretty despicable. They're the ones that everyone is paying attention to, and you're some slimy little rat trying to get your piece of the pie. It's really pathetic. Anyway how did all this turn out? Did you end up getting paid or did they remove the photo?
It's easier to be a young musician than an old one. I 🎉 not complain.
Another Ukrainian metal UA-camr?
Haha, not even close! I'm not originally European
@MetalBlast Ah. Well, it sounds like you have a Ukrainian or Russian accent.
@@dmitryowens Fascinating! Not at all, my native language is Spanish! :D
@@MetalBlast Strange. There's a Swedish dude with a metal channel who sounds more Spanish or Italian - lol
@dmitryowens it's the result of nerdy kids learning English watching movies and video games. They (we) develop bizarre accents I guess
In 2024 they are really great on stage. They always were but now the live quality and energy of the band is out standing.
Keep going for another 20yo! Become a bigger household name than lemmy or ozzy or mettalica!!!
Bro thanks for contributing an intelligent interview with one of the absolute best in the game. Thanks so much for bringing up relevant questions that effect music fans all over
Thank you so much for that thoughtful comment. It means a lot! ❤️
When did this interview take place?
June 15, 2024!
My favorite band and vocalist 🎉
See you in Seattle! Haven't missed a show since 2005, when I was like, who's this guy? Oh, he's way better. Favorite band for years.
Sooo... if Therion is Christofer's baby and Thomas' wife, does that make Thomas Christofer's son-in-law..? Is Linnéa Therion's step-child? So many questions.
Therion's daughter and Christopher's grand daughter
@@MetalBlast It's a family business!
Hell Awaits and God Hates us both my favorite lps. GHUA came out on 9/11/01. 🤯
How do you feel about other events from that date?
another great example of how evil religions are fucking up the world...Kerry and many others have written about this stupidity...@@MetalBlast
He feels great because toxicity also came out that day
Tomi Joutsen is one of the best death metal vocalists in the world, I had the opportunity to meet him at summer breeze Brasil 2024 in São Paulo, a simple and humble person who gave new horizons to the band Amorphis, which has become one of the best bands in the world today its sound is unique. ❤🤟 
Great interview, congrats and thank you! 🤘🙂
Kerry King is bad ass his new vocals man is no bueno album is awesome with out the singer Tom was the man
I thought BLM and ANTIFA supported HAMAS so why are they bothered about "antisemitism?"
Massive hypocrites and bandwagon jumpers.
ABSOLUFUKINLUTLY!!!🤘💀🤘 CONGRATS ON THE NEW ALBUM AND I LOVE IT!!!
Metal has become the most normie friendly garbage ever. Hating a band like slayer who use NS imagery as an image, or hating an NSBM band who believe in everything AH said is no different from a punk fan listening to songs about obeying the law and upholding establishment views. In general metal heads are probably the most annoying group of music fans, and I used to be one. Imagine listening to the most edgy metal band with songs about killing babies and then gettting angry about a band named after a German gun
It's a normal part of something becoming normalized within society. The edge is lost. Having said that, NSBM is remarkably stupid (not only because they're Nazi morons, but also because the Nazis themselves would have not been OK with black metal); the point is that it's bizarre to see people clutching their pearls at the offensiveness of some racist idiot, as if metal hadn't been offensive from the very beginning. Without mentioning the idiocy of blaming "metal" because of the ideologies of the handful of mouthbreathing imbeciles who are into nazism.
Great interview, love the new album. I completely agree with Kerry's comment about the '90's and all of the stupid, disposable bands that were popular then. I like all of Slayer's albums, especially "Diabolus", great tunes and production (mix, I wish "God hates..." sounded the same as...). I'm looking forward to hearing some more from this band...\m/
Loser
only king by last name.. the slaying ended with jeff. he should practice his guitar chops.. weedily weedily solo with antichristian lyrics got old after reign in blood
Jeff was slayer
@@mikem.7921no, Kerry and Jeff were Slayer! They both fed off each other's musical angst. That's the sad truth.
