Metalion: "Tell me how you feel about releasing a CD on DSP without the earthly existence of Euronymous?"

It: "I do not give a fuck about if people say that VOW* is a bunch of fuckin' peace lovers. If Euronymous could work with them I can as well!!! Euronymous stood behind Abruptum up to 100% all the time and he worshipped our 2nd LP. In his last letter he wrote to me that: 'Now that the cunt and his fuckin' Burzum shit is not on my label anymore we'll start to work for Abruptum real hard'. He would have been honoured to release our LP, just like he was when he released our first. Our 2nd LP belonged to DSP and with the release of it DSP went to its grave, in my heart. You know, DSP was going to release our first album before Burzum's first, but the cunt paid his LP himself and that's why it came first. Just like I admired him and Mayhem he admired me and Abruptum. We had big plans for live shows where Mayhem/Abruptum played together. Mayhem as support to the headlining Abruptum. That is proof of how much he believed in us and how his way of thinking was. Not "I'm the best" and "My band is the biggest". He blew life into Abruptum and gave us something to believe in. We were much the same and we shared many things, that's why I feel a bit splitted up nowadays. I do not have the same support from anyone that I got from him. I would like to say our 2nd LP is fully dedicated to his memory and I guess I have more reason to it than many others. So Grishnack must know he is dead as fast as he puts his face outside the prison walls."

Ophthalamia - Ophthalamia / The Eternal Walk, Pt III

Extremely weird band. It’s definitely a black metal band, but it often veers into a riffing style that sounds like a combination of prog rock and traditional doom metal that I haven’t heard really any other band attempt. 

Did I mention the project is entirely concept albums about a fantasy world created by a half-Swedish half-Native American midget named “It”? 

OPHTHALAMIA “II Elishia II” (Superb compilation of cult classic tracks from 1990 to 1994 of the only one Swedish Black/Doom answer to Black Sabbath, the unique Ophthalamia)
