Terminus Interview - Moulderyawn and Robes of Snow

In a Terminus first, the Black Metal Guy interviews both sides of a recently reviewed split- that of Moulderyawn and Robes of Snow, two artists likely familiar to listeners as stalwart members of the Old Mill cohort helping to bring folk metal into a new era. TBMG sits down with Charlie Aldersop and Damian Winter for a conversation about black metal, paganism, and the hidden truths of nature beyond mere adoration of rocks and roots.

With good humor and equally good philosophy, both artists help to elucidate different views of nature throughout history, their own relationship with it, and how this continues to impact their music and other artistic pursuits. Fitting for the collaborative nature of their split release, both guests fill in and elaborate on each others' perspectives for one of our most well-rounded and intellectually stimulating interviews yet.
