I'm pretty sure it was Fenriz
I also think that's pretty dumb, just playing 'what you want' is what all music should be in the first place. But maybe it's just poor ESL wording, I'd think he's referring to how there's a certain intention/spirit behind making 'black metal', and when you have that you can create it how it suits you. That's the common thing that keeps the genre together, between the intricate symphonic BM and the raw noisy BM

I feel like a lot of these new bands I don't like that call themselves 'black metal' adopt the lo-fi sound as an aesthetic thing, and that's it. There's nothing convincingly metal about them, idk why. Maybe not enough genuine anger/angst? That boring Draugveil album that's been posted everywhere recently (because of its album cover) sums my problems, just some forgettable derivative hyped up for its aesthetics more than anything else

>I get the feeling he's obsessed with sounding tight and perfect in the studio so he triggers up
If that's the case, I wonder how he feels knowing his magnum-opus was recorded while he was ill and playing sloppier than usual
