The Swedish metal scene’s resurgence and why live shows there are stronger than ever

Balancing creativity, family life, and day jobs while keeping the fire of heavy music alive
How authenticity and live energy matter more than perfection in modern metal production
Building a visual universe to match Odjur’s Viking and death metal-inspired storytelling
