As far as I know, you've got in serious trouble with justice lately; could you please give us more info on this subject?

- No! I'm not up to talk about it now... I have spoke of some of this in the past and I don't like to bring attention to it. American Jewstice is a fucked up thing! Whites have already lost there rights and so now we'll see what's in store for us in the new millenium. We must fight till the death!!!!!!

As the one playing the most significant role in PANTHEON, would you mind providing us with a short bio?

- I was officialy in PANTHEON in 1996, but we had jammed in one form or another for years before that... Official demos were 1996 demo, "Vincere Aut Mori Agnes" demo, 1997 demo, which all had our old singer Sorath and I simply did bass. Then in 1997 we did an instrumental audition tape and "Thangorodrim" demo on Anti-Human Productions where I began doing vocals and bass for the first time. This was later re-released on cdr with a new cover on Anti-Human Productions as well. Then after this we did PANTHEON / WAR 88 split for Posthumuous Records in Russia. Something happened to E.M. Sakharov of Posthumous Prod. so we had to re-release PANTHEON / WAR 88 on Anti-Human Productions.  After this we released an old raw rehearsal called "Ginnungagap" on Anti-Human as well as an instrumental demo of past rehearsals and the audtition tape called "Instrumentaryan". We then re-released PANTHEON / WAR 88 on CD-r for Anti-Human Productions... And also "Galdur Vikodlaks" CD out on  Fenris Wolf Records and COMMAND / PANTHEON split demo on Combat Records. "Pflichterfüllung" promo for friends was recently released on tape as a two piece since we kicked our drummer and keyboardist. I now handle drums, bass, guitar and vocals and Vautrin handles keys and guitar. We await more such as "Vargrstrike" cd to finally be released from ARR. The MCD version of "Pflichterfüllung" on Hakenkreuz Productions and the CD version of "Vargrstrike" on Tellurian Battleground Productions in Romania shall all be out soon as well. Also coming out will be "Draugrs Daug" LP and a new track exclusively for Night and the Fog pt.2 called "Prettanoi An Taranus" and a 7" with our new drummer Volkh.

You've put out "Vargstrike" and "Pfilchterfüllung" shortly after releasing a couple of demo works. What's your view on these efforts?

- Yes we've done a shitload... It sucks doing so much... I think "Vargrstrike" is an attacking LP, but I dont care for it due to personal reasons. "Pflichterfüllung" is a better release as far as
style... The new stuff we do is even better than these so I don't care for them that much...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but somehow I'm twice as sure that the CDs I've mentioned earlier feature few tracks taken off your old demo assaults...

- I think you're right!

"Pfilchterfüllung" and "Vargstrike"... Any comments on why these titles and what they stand for?

- Well they mean a lot to me. "Vargrstrike" was all part of my attacking thoughts and the whole LP is based on pagan battle. "Vargr" is old norse for "wolf" and we know what "strike" is.  I combined it to mean something personal to me. Strike of the wolf!! "Pflcihterfüllung" is what Hitler speaks of in Mein Kampf and it means "Fullfillment of Duty". We were going through a lot of trials at that time and so I must say it took a lot of work and dedication to our cause and to our music to complete certain tasks at the time of this recording. This is why it was titled as such as once we had completed recording we knew we had lived up to the name of the title.

Apart from spawning truly enrapturing music, you appear as a politically involved person. What made you enter this slippery ground? Have you always considered PANTHEON a kind of band with a political message behind?

- Yes we are fascist and NS. These are our politics which is very spiritual to us. Of course our paganism is above all to us. It was the right path for us to be on since we had it in our hearts and minds for so long. Yes we were always political just not always so in the face about it.  My first band was called HOLOCAUST and this was in 1989. This was a political death / thrash band with some racial songs and such. So now it isn't much new to me.

Taking into account the fact music is a tool of propaganda for you, what's your opinion on those who consider taking part in a certain band only a hobbie?

- I hate hobby bands unless they have great feeling in their music.  Mainly my music has to be political or ideological as it goes hand in hand. I don't like listening to bands without a belief in something.  It bores me cause people are fake all over... Yes our music is propaganda, but also a weapon... a weapon to be unleashed upon the perpetrators of inJewstice!!!

As far as I know, you're involved into plenty of heathen movements...

- Yes I am, but I'm limiting that to be more focused at my objectives.

What's your view on your fellow countrymen extremist politicians, such as L.Rockwell or D.Lane?

- Great guys... I agree much with Rockwell as he had some great ideas and people should have listened to. As for David Lane he is a great person for the movement, but I have to say I'm not the biggest advocate of 14 words. I prefer 88, but that's my choice!! I believe
quality is more important than quantity as the übermenschen are a rare breed.

And what about Malcolm X? Socially, his point of view is pretty similar to that of L.Rockwell's (as well as few other white racialists')?

- I know nothing of Malcom X except he was a communist and a nigger!! You can't compare a nigger to an Aryan like Rockwell! Yes he believed in segregation and I wish more niggers would listen to him, but I hate talking of this nigger because people can wear his shirts when he is anti-white, but curse us for wanting to wear a shirt of Hitler!! Fuck this hypocritical equality and democracy bullshit!!!

You name the country you reside in as "Vinland / Acirema", why?

- Vinland is what the Norse called this land. Acirema is our future plan!!

I suppose you're pretty much interested in Odinism and ancient Europe's pagan cults...

- Yes indeed. Nothing is more important to me than being in touch with my pagan Aryan past. Others should do the same!!

Probably somewhat stupid question, but anyway: what's your attitude to judeochristianity?

- Arghhhhhhhhhggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Do you get the idea?

Plans for the future?

- None I can disclose to anyone except PANTHEON releases coming out, but I've already stated this...

Thank you very much for your time...

- Thank you for taking the time to make this interview. I enjoyed this!! HEILS TO ALL BROTHERS IN CELTIBERIA!!! AVE VICTORIA AND HEILS AND SALUTES TO YOU!!! 88
