Håkon Aune: Guitarist - Isiliel & Incinerator: BALANCING MYTHOLOGY AND MAYHEM: BLACK METAL, BLACK MAGIC & BOSSA NOVA

Hanging out with Håkon is always a good time and today we are talking about everything across the board from heavy guitar riffs and solos, religion, littering, getting angry and mythology. This one truly has it all.

Håkon and I met while he was touring with Isiliel last year and became fast friends. It seems to be a recurring theme that he is called in for his expertise in writing blistering guitar solos that are sought after time and time again. He is making a name for himself in the metal world as a true shred master. One thing I admire about him is that he has great stage presence and is always seen to be head banging and having an absolute blast. In his own words “I wasn’t allowed to have long hair until I was “old enough to decide for myself” and since then, I’ve grown it out, and I love to headbang… Especially on stage… especially if I put a lot of products in it so it will smell good”

He may love his metal, but he shares his love of flamenco and Spanish guitar noting the inspiration it’s been on him across his musical career while also tuning into the love of classic metal and the eternal classic rock.

Here’s a few extras he wanted to share with you too!

“One time I got home from school and I plugged my guitar into my brother’s amp. All alone in the house I played Redneck by Lamb of God and felt like everything was SO amazing. It’s episodes like that that further inspire me and give me confidence that practicing music is something that never ceases to give me pleasure. It’s a bumpy road with great highs and artistic lows. That in itself for me is balance, with a little distortion”

“Leaning to understand and deal with your own emotions takes time, and it’s not easy at all”

“For new guitar players - if it hurts, stop and take a break. Give yourself time to relax and don’t beat yourself up all the time”

I was taking a walk the other day and I started thinking about that saying of being a wolf in sheep’s clothing and well - an assortment of other wolf themed ideas and thoughts. But it got me to thinking about having the wolf inside, the one that’s hungry and that’s fierce… and having to change who you are to make everyone else happy and comfortable. While maybe the regular connotation of being a wolf in sheep’s clothing is a negative one, in this episode, it’s about reminding yourself of your strength and power.

Whether it’s being “quieter” or less bold, excited, or passionate in your work or as I touch on, the requirement to be softer, more “feminine” more subdued and slowly stripping away who I was, it’s okay to allow yourself to take off that sheep costume and let the wolf that you were meant to be out. This is letting your strength speak for itself and all of the things that make you wonderfully and confidently you. So have you hidden your inner wolf away? How will you encourage the wolf to be seen and known again?

Sonny Lanegan is the frontman of the Italian industrial band Noir Addiction and comes from a vast musical background, including writing film scores and soundtracks. We met a few months back while we were working to get some shows finalised in London for Noir Addiction. The more I got to know Sonny, I was so interested in one - his extremely excellent work ethic, his drive to make things happen and how he is another that lives and breathes his art.

This episode is all about his work as a musician and following his instincts as well as finding the balance that works for him and his life. We spend a lot of time discussing the emotion behind music, the art of songwriting, connecting with the listeners and staying true to yourself. Sonny set out with a vision for Noir Addiction and it comes through in everything that they release. Check them out for a couple dates this October in London!

October 29 - Cart & Horses London with The Holy Mothers

October 30 - Signature Brew Haggerston, supporting The Darts
