ABORTMag.com has issued an interview with Norway's RED HARVEST guitarist Ketil Eggum (aka TurboNatas). The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by John Norby:

Q: Did you ever think when you started the band that Red Harvest would still be going 20 years later?

A: "I joined in 1994, and I wasn’t even sure if I would be alive in 2009. And, like back then, I am still not able to plan 15 years ahead in time. So I guess the answer to that is no."

Q: How have you noticed the scene in Norway change over those 20 years?

A: "Norwegian bands have developed a lot. Confidence and success goes hand in hand. When some bands got recognized and started touring abroad, it opened up for other bands and, of course, the way black metal became famous it eventually opened doors to other kinds of genres in the Norwegian metal scene."

Q: Red Harvest has changed a lot since Nomindsland in ‘92. Indeed, there’s been a progression with every album you have released. Has this always been a conscious decision or do you see it more as a natural development over the years?

A: "I hope it is a natural thing to develop in a twenty year period. You know, some bands get away with sounding the same, like AC/DC (Laughs). Seriously, I believe that we get so many influences and new ideas in between albums that it would feel strange to look backwards. We have only followed our hearts and tried to find all the guys in the band enough space to suggest and arrange. In this way we are kind of unpredictable."

Red Harvest recently recently confirmed a 20th anniversary concert, in Oslo at the Spacebunker, on October 24th.

Says the band: "Regarding the Red Harvest 20th anniversary gig, we have about six oldies but goldies "in the bank" so far: 'No Next Generation', 'The Cure' (with Cato Bekkevold on drums), 'Acid' (with Jan F Nygård on guitar), 'The Art Of Radiation', 'Sadness' and 'Resist'. More info to come."

Red Harvest recently posted more live clips, featuring four songs and filmed back in 2003. The new footage, as well as previously posted performance footage of the song 'Beyond The End', recorded at the With Full Force festival in Germany in 2005, can be viewed below.
