    Kakophonix - Metal Cellist Extraordinaire

    Season 1 Episode 8 - If you're an accomplished cellist who really understands metal, you can have a fascinating and varied career, and that's exactly what Kakophonix has done. He's a core member of the dark neofolk project Osi & The Jupiter, which has played numerous metal festivals and tours. He also has a solo project called Hvile i Kaos, which he describes as "black ritual chamber musick." Links to those projects are in the show notes below. In addition to these projects and his work as a music teacher, he's done guest and/or session work on the cello for many metal artists, including Abigail Williams, Vale of Pnath and many others. He sat down with me on a rainy afternoon at Cascadian Midsummer festival in June of last year to tell me his story. I hope you enjoy the conversation!    Projects Kakophonix is actively involved in:  Osi & The Jupiter: https://osifolk.bandcamp.com/album/cedar-and-sage-riders-of-the-gallows-vol-1 Hvile i Kaos: https://hvileikaos.bandcamp.com/track/vessel-333 Kakophonix at Metal Archives: https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Kakophonix/446992 We also discussed these two bands, which are not his projects but that some might find intriguing: Antestor — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forsaken_(album) Admonish - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admonish_(band)   Theme music for this podcast is by Tauntaun: https://tauntaun.bandcamp.com/ The Metal Gateway Podcast is a production of Studio Portcullis - Copyright 2024
