This interview with Tena was conducted by metal monster for issue #19
Hello
Yes?
Is this the fat guy?
Yeah, of course.
You’re a big fat slob, and I think it’s great that there are still bands like Triumphator.
Excellent
Didn’t you go by the name Deathfucker?
Yeah.
Now you go by the girlish Tena?
Exactly
You do realize that Tena is a girl’s name?
No!
Do you consider yourself the Dom Deluise of black metal?
What?!
Do you consider yourself the Dom Deluise of black metal?
I don’t know who he is.
He is a famous fat American comedic actor.
Well, I don’t know who he is.
You bear an uncanny likeness to him.
OK.
According to christian law there is to be nothing in excess, gluttony is a sin. So I guess you are being true “evil” black metal by being a total fat ass.
Tena: yeah sure, but how do you stay slim in a wheelchair?
Is it hard to find a bullet belt in a 47-inch waist size?
What?
Is it hard to find a bullet belt for a 47-inch waist?
No, we have to buy two.
Seeing you in your corpse paint reminds me of a little chubby kid who faked an illness to stay home from school and amused himself by playing with mommies make up kit while she was out buying comic books and ice cream for her spoiled little Twinkie thief. Is the visual aspect of your band important to you?
Of course it is important. Why shouldn’t we use corpse paint?
A lot of the older bands have stop using it. They feel it has been done to death and they don’t use it anymore.
But not using corpse paint is dumb also.
I can see you are not addicted to Dexatrim.
I am addicted to Percocet.
I heard that you used to play guitar but as you gained more and more weight your fingers became too pudgy to accurately hit the guitar strings so you were forced to switch to bass because you needed an instrument with a wider fret board to accommodate your fat fingers. Is that true?
A least I don’t jerk off to pictures of Fenriz.
Do you have any comments on Fenriz?
I hate people who jerk off to pictures of him.
Have you ever…
I hate you.
I hate you too.
Yeah?
You have big floppy man tits.
Of course
Were you fat as a child?
I am not fat
Your not!?
No. I am big boned
Do you date fat chicks?
No.
Is the girl in your pictures your girlfriend?
Mmm hmmm
Is she blind?
What?
Don’t you think kool aid stains on the sides of your mouth render the visual effects of corpse paint silly?
What is this kool aid?
Did you know that Seth Putnam was a Jew?
Yeah. I guess he was. So what?
Does the black metal scene discriminate against the obese?
Against me?
I understand how hard it is being morbidly fat in the extreme music scene. The editor of the Grimoire is a big fat ass. He gained a lot of weight in the last year.
(laughs) I guess Bill Zebub is big boned also.
