Talking BIG RIFFS with the man himself, Ted Skjellum/ Nocturno Culto from Darkthrone. We discuss the new album "It Beckons Us All," (out now on Peaceville Records), the steady evolution and thrillingly diverse eras of Darkthrone, how to conjure riffs from the depths of our souls with no regard for rules or expectations, the key to writing music that lasts for decades, breaking the chains of genre constraints and studio rental rates, developing an evolved black metal vocal style in order to withstand the cruel force of physical aging, hiking as a fuel source for riffs, the first-ever FOUR-PART Darkthrone guitar harmony, the subliminal power and mysticism of Fenriz lyrics, and MORE...
