Robert Williams of Metal-Rules.com recently conducted an interview with WATAIN frontman Erik Danielsson during the band's recent Black Metal Magic tour.

The following is an excerpt:

Q: How did you originally come up with the idea of using a cauldron onstage and nailing dead rats to an inverted cross as featured in your stage show?

A: "To be honest, it has grown on us. In the beginning we went on stage in the same clothes that we wear today. It's just that over the years they have decayed and decomposed. That eventually became our thing...our way of doing it. Everything on stage, is in the stageshow is in a state of putrefaction. That in turn corresponds very much with the energies that we invoke on the stage. The energies of death and the afterlife and the downfall of creation seen in dead (animal) parts or a decomposed body. Within that carrion that we have onstage, in magickal context, there is a lot of death energy inside of it."
