00:06 | Good evening, how are you doing?
00:13 | We're here at the Jorvik Viking Festival, have you ever been here before?
00:26 | Had a look around?
00:32 | How do you think the show will be? There might be people who have never been to a metal show before...
00:52 | Do you think that England celebrates its Viking history more or less than other countries?
01:07 | Getting onto the band, firstly can you tell us how to pronounce the band's name...
01:25 | Can you explain the connection between metal and Vikings, why is it such a popular theme in metal at the moment?
02:15 | Last year you released The Lay Of Thrym, how would you compare that to the rest?
02:40 | It is less progressive, why are you moving away from that?
03:00 | Is it important to get radio time?
03:12 | How much of your soul are you willing to sell then?
03:21 | It's your sixth album, does it get harder to keep putting out album after album... the inspiration...
03:53 | You are from the Faroe Islands, how did you get into metal with presumably no metal scene there?
04:19 | Why aren't you another Iron Maiden? How did you end up how you are?
04:49 | With the first few albums you did more metal versions of traditional songs, you haven't done so many recently, so are you running out?
05:45 | As well as being a Viking-themed band, you're also an anti-religious band - where did this come from?
06:21 | So where do you think the glass ceiling is for a band like this? How big do you think a band like this could get in the world we live in?
07:10 | So next month you're off touring in Germany and Europe, what's next for the band after that?
07:36 | Any thoughts towards a new album or live album, etc.?
08:00 | You've got stuff written then...
08:09 | Last words...
A review of the show can be found here.

Hopefully they do those things one day soon, perhaps with the new label. Not the most talkative guys in the world but Baz you did a great job and keeping it going! And thanks for asking how to pronounce the band name, lol, I didn't even realize I was saying it wrong.
