LOITS Lembetu interview METĀLKĀSTS LV #170 [ENG]

ENG (LAT BELOW) - In this episode, we have a chat with Ahto-Lembit "Lembetu" Lehtmets of the legendary Estonian black metal band LOITS! We get to know what LOITS is, how they sound, their creative process, how they started and evolved, and what the future holds for LOITS.

We explore the Estonian metal scene, try to understand how it works, and how LOITS has been involved in it and at the top of it for almost 30 years!

Since METĀLKĀSTS LV podcast is based in Latvia and Latvia is close neighbors with Estonia, we dive into LOITS' history with Latvia and why they have not played here since 2005 — almost 20 years ago at the time of this recording!

Crazy gig stories, music collecting from late Soviet times to today, and many other subjects are touched upon in this conversation.

LAT - Šajā sērijā, runājot angļu mēlē, mums ir saruna ar leģendārās igauņu black metāla grupas LOITS radītāju Ahto-Lembit "Lembetu" Lehtmets! Uzzinām, kas ir LOITS, kā viņi skan, kāds ir viņu radošais process, kā viņi aizsākās, attīstījās un ko nākotnē varam sagaidīt no LOITS!

Mēs iepazīstam Igaunijas metāla scēnu, cenšamies saprast, kā tā strādā, kā LOITS tajā ir iesaistījušies un kā viņi noturējušies Igaunijas scēnas augšgalā gandrīz 30 gadus!

Tā kā METĀLKĀSTS LV ir bāzēts Latvijā un esam tuvi kaimiņi ar Igauniju, sarunā noskaidrojam LOITS vēsturi Latvijā un uzzinām, kāpēc viņi nav spēlējuši šeit kopš 2005. gada, kas ir gandrīz 20 gadus atpakaļ šīs epizodes ierakstīšanas laikā!

Traki Latvijas koncertu stāsti, mūzikas kolekcionēšana no vēliem padomju laikiem līdz šodienai un citas tēmas tiek skartas šajā sarunā.

Un, dārgie tautieši! LOITS jūs aicina iesaistīties zemāk pieminētajā FB grupā, lai radītu interesi un labākas iespējas viņiem uzspēlēt pie mums Latvijā. Klausāmies un dalāmies!
