Episode Nine! Late summer 2019 Mork got to live out a dream. To have the music pave the way to Los Angeles, has been a longtime ambition of mine. Last year it did. Join Mork sound-engineer, Espen, and yours truly as we tell the tale about «Mork Do America». A «Beavis & Butt-head» reference, for those who didn’t get it. California dreaming, baby. Or, «Californian Hunger». Enjoy! Merch: morkisebakke.no Check out the pictures by PunkRockPhoto of the trip...

Episode eight! Still going strong! I had the pleasure of including my good friend and name-brother, Thomas “Sarke” Bergli, on this episode. Tulus, Khold and of course, Sarke. These are all great bands most of you should have been listening to. We talk about the history and about Thomas’s journey. With Sarke being one of my fave bands out of Norway, this was a privilege for me. Enjoy! Merch: morkisebakke.no Thomas "Sarke" Bergli...

Number seven! This time I am joined by my good friend Dirk Verbeuren who happens to be the drummer in one of my all time fave bands, Megadeth. This guys resume is vast and impressive, so we did not even get to scrape the top of it in this chat. However, we talk about his background, life and involvement in Megadeth, Cadaver, Satyricon and so on. After the fact, I noticed that I totally forgot about his involvement in Soilwork, which also has been a big part of his career. Always a good time...

Here we go! Episode number 6. This time I am joined by one of the founders of The True Mayhem and therefor also a huge part of Black Metal and global music history. My good friend and original Mayhem-drummer, Kjetil Manheim drops in for a cup of black coffee and a long interesting chat. We talk about the very beginning, Mayhem and the post-Mayhem years. Enjoy!

5 episodes, special guest number 3, not bad! My good friend and Black Metal-icon, (Erkekjetter) Silenoz of Dimmu Borgir and Insidious Disease joined me recently over a beer and a history lesson. This is a long one filled with interesting tidbits spanning a whole impressive career, so stick around throughtout untill the end. On another note; Silenoz's Death Metal venture Insidious Disease recently dropped news regarding a new label and upcoming album, so we need to have another beer and...

Onward we go, to episode 4. The first official outside guest appears. Anders Odden is a personality that's been around for a long while, within the Norwegian music scene. He is most known today as the bassist for Satyricon, main-man of the death metal-band Cadaver and as guitarist in the Black Metal-band Order. I have a phone-call conversation with Anders where we talk about the early Black Metal days, Cadaver, Satyricon and more.

Third episode, we are obviously on a roll here. First guest ever happened to be Rob Sax, the bassist of Mork. We go back and reminisce about our trip and show on the Canary Islands in 2016.

So, a second episode, who would have thought. In this one I go back and talk about the first tour the band did. The year was 2016 and Canada was the destination. Enjoy!

A late Friday night after the outbreak of the Corona-virus, I decided to speak for half an hour into the mic about nothing and anything. Will this be the first of several episodes, I don't know yet. It was just something a wanted to try on the fly, and here we are. Keep in mind that english ain't my native tounge as I am a born and bread Norwegian. Enjoy! Thomas Eriksen Halden, March 2020
