Carpathian Forest
Carpathian Forest一直被誉为少数捍卫原始黑金属的挪威乐队，这只乐队创立于黑金属开始风靡的九十年代初，论资历，也算是与Immortal、Darkthrone同代齐名的黑暗金属元老。
这算是乐队改签法国著名极端金属厂牌Season of mist之前的一张精选加未发表作品，有兴趣的朋友可以看看重型音乐杂志第7期对他们主唱的采访。我节选几段这家伙的语录：
“这个乐队成员之间的沟通和友谊一直很差。我们玩的是黑暗金属，而这种音乐风格就不需要和友谊扯上任何关系。这是一个以自我为中心的个人的音乐旅程，每个人都是极度自我的，就他妈的应该如此。”
“有些采访和提问实在是太愚蠢了，蠢得不值得我们去回答。我可不想和一些猴子、绵羊、母牛什么的打交道，哈哈。至于宣传推广那要看那些让我们厌烦的唱片公司如何决定了。我也讨厌过多的巡演，但有时我们也不得不这么去做。我真的非常憎恨巡演，但有时这是必须的。每年几场的演出我还可以接受，太多就不行了。我憎恨公开场合，宁愿独个呆着。独自一人让我觉得很舒服，我讨厌人们的嘈杂声和他们的看法。”
“我们的现场可以说是好坏参半吧。这要看演出那天大家的心情如何。有时我们的沟通很差，这会很大程度影响到我们的演出。我讨厌排练，我们一般每年只排练一到两次，这对于我来说已经足够了。我们也许会参加一些金属节。我想一到两个吧，已经足够多了！”
“我不想对我喜欢或讨厌那些乐队这个问题做出回答，这是很显而易见的。最重要的是什么？我不知道对于其他乐队什么是最看重的，我也毫不关心。我觉得保持反基督的态度，做一个憎恨人类的人，不要看起来像个同性恋，已经足够了！”
“我不跟随任何的形式，我们以前所认为的朋克已经不存在了。同样的情形也发生在死亡金属和任何一种音乐形式上。当我听到有人把Slipknot称做死亡金属，我就知道有些地方出问题了。我不想再听到任何新的音乐，我不想听任何东西。”

Emerging like ghoulish demons out of the depths of Norway's darkest woods (at least, that's how they would have dreamed it), Carpathian Forest centers around the fearsome duo of Nattefrost (vocals/guitar/bass) and Nordavind (guitar/bass), who first teamed up to compose their dark musical sorcery in the early '90s. A textbook example of so-called "true" black metal in the old-school Scandinavian definition (serious devil worship, pagan rituals, corpse face paint, criminal record recommended), Carpathian Forest recorded a set of fittingly appalling early demos, beginning with 1992's notorious Bloodlust & Perversion tape (reissued on CD in 1997). Quickly becoming a hot item on the underground tape-trading network thanks to its incredibly primitive, lo-fi contents, the demo garnered the new group almost instant cult status, starting them on their path to black metal infamy. After showing a vast technical improvement with the next year's Journey Through the Cold Moors of Svarttjern, the duo scored a deal with the Avant Garde label, for whom they recorded 1995's Through Chasm, Caves and Titan Woods with the help of some local scene friends. The release couldn't have arrived at a more propitious time, as the recent imprisonment of Burzum's Varg Vikernes for the murder of the legendary Mayhem and "Inner Circle" leader Euronymous had left thousands of black metal fans searching for new heroes to worship. Carpathian Forest was as poised to capitalize on the situation as anyone, but the band vanished from sight instead, not be heard from again for nearly three years. The reasons behind this disappearance remain as mysterious as the band itself, but 1998's Black Shining Leather proved to be a surprisingly powerful comeback, making it seem like the band had never been gone at all and featuring a stunning cover of the Cure's "A Forest." Nordavind left the band under reportedly amicable circumstances shortly after the recording of 2000's Strange Old Brew, but Carpathian Forest still plans to forge ahead with its career.
