REAL NAME: Iikka Meriläinen
AGE: 19
COUNTRY: Finland
TRACKER & SONG YOU CHOSE TO COVER & WHY: Draugnim by Arcenzzraaath. Why? Because, despite its age, it's still the best metal orchestral I've heard. And first too, I reckon.
YEARS TRACKING: 5
INSTRUMENTS PLAYED?: None.
FAVORITE GENRE OF MUSIC & WHY: I can enjoy all subgenres of metal, and naming one above the others is difficult... at gunpoint I'd probably go for traditional heavy metal or power metal.
MOST DESPISED GENRE OF MUSIC & WHY: Rap, of course. The reasons should be obvious.
FAVORITE REAL BAND & WHY: Tough one... under hypothetical conditions similar to those presented in the favorite genre question, I'd say King Diamond. His genius is evident.
MOST DESPISED BAND & WHY: With all the rap bands around, the choice is beyond my capability.
FAVORITE TRACKER & WHY: Cadaver is the pro, Malekith reeks of quality, Tap rules by simply existing... but in the field of resolutely standing by one's artistical views and not letting other people's opinions hamper your vision, I must say the entity known as RobbFritt takes the prize. In my eyes they have reached the ultimate non-mainstreamness, and thus an eternal kvlt status.
FAVORITE INSTRUMENT & WHY: Banjo. Of course.
DO YOU RATE/REVIEW SONGS ON METALLURKY? IF NOT, WHY?: Occasionally.
IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT THE SCENE, WHAT WOULD IT BE? More people wouldn't hurt... I'd love to see a kickass release pop up daily.
FRIZZLEFRIED'S THOUGHTS: Arcenzzraaath's original "Draugnim" is an excellent balance of synth and metal styles of music. Y'golonac has managed to improve on the originals quite decent sound. The retrack is very authentic in sound and as an instrumental has enough variance to keep the song from becoming boring. The guitarsound is very nice as well as the synth sounds. Overall the production and sound is very much improved over the originals. This is an enjoyable song.
