I remember being at a Mayhem show nearly 20 years ago wearing an Arcturus shirt...Hellhammer came over to me to check it out...turned me around so he could see the back design. Super nice guy. I think he was surprised to see someone in the rise/fall Aspera era shirt in Minnesota.
this dude is just a legend on his own.. i love that he can be so versatile.. i mean... Mayhem, Covenant/Kovenant, Arcturus, Dimmu borgir, Winds... and still being creative, and most importantly he's totaly musical.. not just playing some standards beats like most drummers... there are times i am thinking "how lese this song could be played in terms of drums?" and actualy this guy is never OVER or UNDER playing.. every hit, every move, every single thing he does has actually some meaning and adds something to the song in it's way... unfortunately there are no many videos of him playing, and it's actually delightful watching him playing the drums....
Mr Blomberg is truly a magnificent drummer. Bringing such creative jazzy style of playing drums into black metal is unique. There's a clear musicality in his playing that complements the rhythmic functionality in a very balanced, yet remarkable way.
Right? And he doesn't beat the crap out of them either. I noticed that right away when I saw him with Mayhem last year. He's definitely a seasoned pro.
Wow... A good quality drum cam from the legend! I think he doesn't have many drum cams with a resolution as good as this nor this close and clean. Finally, after so many years!
@@jccross76 yupyupYUUP, Frost and Hellhammer are my top two choices. ferocity and stamina aside, the parts they both write have so much unique yet inextricably genuine and uncontrived flare to them. I'm specifically enamored with what both drummers do on the ride cymbal.
over the years he stills getting better and better! his technique unique, its not easy be on the road for more than 20 years .. and still kicking respect for this drummer
And this is why Hellhammer is one of my fav drummers. May not be the fastest nay more with George Kolias and the guy from Fleshgod apokolypse , but he's certainly one of the most creative.
Sarah Mixon ..Sarah miss mixon! "HELL HAMMER IS BEYOND AMAZZZING IN MAYHEM"!!.so fast hands and feet!!..lighting fast blast beats!..he looks very young for his age to!..😈..pure talent!!
Yeah, Varg certainly has huge respect for him. I also heard him saying that HH carried the band with his talent basically, referring to Mayhem of course.
👏👏👏lots of respect to this guy !! The infamous Jan Axel von bomblerg !! Had the opportunity to seeing many times Tru out my life. Here in the states and in Canada!! My most memorable in my opinion seeing him at NYC s Legendary CBGBS !! Everything went wrong for Mayhem that night , Specially for Hell hammer !! If I had a chance to ask him a question that will be one for him !! What truly happened that night !! Man I remember CBGBs Owner himself coming down and cursing the 💩out on them !! After like 90 minutes of waiting they finally came out. I'll never forget it There's a video flying around at one point MANIAC says We got a special guest tonight !! And I shout at him ATTILA ATTILA COME OUT ! He got Mad and said !! NOOO NO ATTILA TONIGHT !!! LOLOL.. Lots of people started laughing !! And I was really drunk at the time !! Such Good memories man !! 👍👍
I've been listening to Hellhammer drumming in Mayhem and Arcturus, all I can say is that he is one of the best drummers in this world, his drumming is very artistic, also fast. His cymbal work is fantastic and has no comparison in Black Metal (hello kiddy style and all), its delicious listening to him.
The grandmaster in action... Amazing song Kinetic, from Arcturus best album in my opinion, The Sham Mirrors, the intro with those semi-ghost notes on the snare is a classic...
As much as I don't really like his drumming/Kit tone I think his playing on The sham Mirrors, Grand declaration of war, and absolutely La Masquerade where all surprisingly creative, must have been something in the water for a few years.
Watch his interview on Drum Talk, he explains why, back then him and other members had a lot of inspiration for creating new stuff. Himself in particular had a lot of ideas about playing unorthodox stuff on the drums, plus his notorious jazz versatility. He says that going forward it's becoming more difficult since a lot of stuff has been done already, and you can't just repeat yourself or even improve on it. Coming out with new, groundbreaking material is harder these days.
this song blew me away when i heard it about 17 years ago. The drums are something else then you find out its a black metal guy. Who says they can't shred.
Carol Ewam ..Carol!!.."HELL HAMMER IS SO INCREDIBLY AMAZING LIVE WITH MAYHEM"!!...very fast hands and feet!..he looks awesome on his kit! a true legendary drummer!! 😈😈half of people these days don't even have half of this mans talent!
for me as i love extreme metal and i got most of my influence from there, hellhammer, inferno, dave lombardo, pete sandoval and kollias is great but he repeats himself much.
Barker and Hellhammer the absolute kings of black metal drumming! Any new comer should go listen to Nexus Polaris from Covenant and I Sorte Diaboli from Dimmu Borgir and then you'll know right there and then the caliber of this living legend!

Fucking lucky to have a legend so close
Love it. Aspera ... is my favourite.
I watched Arcturus with Hellhammer live on stage yesterday. Full concert here.

@@V3ntilator Thank you so much for this link!
I have the longsleeve of that in Massachusetts!
The internet needs more videos of this legend!
Dimitrios Georgouvelas i feel the same way.
Got too many videos of him
@@bongmaster799 Not nearly enough Mr DrumTech.
So chilled you cant even see him breathing
Arcturus has to be the one of the most underrated metal bands every album takes the listener on a journey with memorable riffs the entire way
His drumming is so fluid it's relaxing ❤️
this dude is just a legend on his own..

One of the great masters. Glad to see Arcturus active.
Truly... How many great bands has he been in? 30? How does he write and remember so many songs? I'll never know...
Richard Aaron well I guess this is the point of rehearsals
Too bad his brain doesn't work as good as his hands
Me too! Arcturus is simply an amazing band! Hard to pick just one favourite song,since they got so many great ones!
Fantastic playing by a legend. Love that ride cymbal- wish i could get my hands on one of those.
"The Sham Mirrors" is one of my all-time favorite drum albums. Jan Axel really is one of a kind.
Never seen a drummer with these art of passion, and specialy Hellhammer the master of all
Mr Blomberg is truly a magnificent drummer. Bringing such creative jazzy style of playing drums into black metal is unique. There's a clear musicality in his playing that complements the rhythmic functionality in a very balanced, yet remarkable way.
what i love about hellahmmer is that hes incredibly versatile, the amount of grooves he comes up with is phenomenal
His cymbal work is just awesome.
Right? And he doesn't beat the crap out of them either. I noticed that right away when I saw him with Mayhem last year. He's definitely a seasoned pro.
Because he hits them too much?
Wow... A good quality drum cam from the legend! I think he doesn't have many drum cams with a resolution as good as this nor this close and clean. Finally, after so many years!
I want to see a clear drum cam of HH playing In Sorte Diaboli.
Hellhammer and Nick barker (for me) are the greatest drummers in Black metal
i agree
Frost from Satyricon
Trym from Emperor is up there as well

and David Gray of Akercocke
It is great to see this guy in action up close. It was hard to get any information about Arcturus in the 90s. Thank you internet.
over the years he stills getting better and better! his technique unique, its not easy be on the road for more than 20 years .. and still kicking respect for this drummer
Woww that's the Groove, Nice to see that kind of Groove in extreme music, especially from this master.
The sound and playing style of a master.
hard to believe this guy is almost 50 years old
50 is the new 20
@@strangeskills then im the new 8. Sweet
its because hes fucked enough young women that he' sucked their lifeblood to stay young
Whats hard to believe about it?
Yeah and he looks like in his 30th but now he plays even better
Kinetic is my favorite track on that album! Great drumming too of course! Hellhammer is a beast!
so much groove and authority in his playing, he's scary!!! evil drumming!!!!
I need to see more of this guy! Why am I just now hearing about this band? Incredible
This guy is so good he could pull a sandwich out of his back pocket and eat it without skipping a beat...
Great flow....so underrated. He's amazing.
One of the greats in heavy metal drumming....together with frost, trym, lombardo, barker etc.
And this is why Hellhammer is one of my fav drummers. May not be the fastest nay more with George Kolias and the guy from Fleshgod apokolypse , but he's certainly one of the most creative.
I just love the tech I think it is, just swaying around with the music
Por favor pero que genio. Es un maestro como domina la batería, su estilo y como maneja los platillos que gran creatividad tiene.
Так. Технічний і креативний)
One of my favorite songs from Arcturus. The vocals and the drums style are truly amazing
Saw Mayhem a couple years back here in Nashville for the DMDS tour. Hellhammer killed it.
that compass change at 0:25 is magistral
Class and elegance, amazing
His symbal work is amazing so calm and composed.
^*cymbal, not symbal, and ^*drum work, not just cymbal work🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤡🤡🤡🤷♂️💩
Cymbal
De mais, Hellhammer é o melhor baterista de todos os tempos do black metal.🇧🇷
elegancia, técnica, velocidad, virtuosidad, agresividad, es lo que encarna el maestro hellhammer!!!!!!!!!

You should hear him in Winds, Age Of Silence or Andy Winter's records, or even with Jorn Lande's Worldchanger...
There are two actually, Acceleration and Complications-Trilogy Of Intricacy, and the third should be ready to come out according to Andy Winter.
what's the title of this song?
