When I found out I was going to chat with Mattias Ottosson, of Swedish powerhouse Nekromant, I kind of lost my mind because I love his songs and I love the groove and sound of the band. It's not so much that I was starstruck, but I wanted to create a good show and honor this musician that I enjoy so much.

I think we accomplished what we set out to do, because Mattias and I had a great time. I'm pretty sure we just became friends, and you, the listener, get to hear how it all happened on this show.

Make sure you check out the latest release from Nekromant, Temple of Haal and dig into this heavy, chunky, groovy sound with a classic twist. The music is not to be missed, and yes, that rhymes.

This is my conversation with the visionary singer and songwriter, Mattias Ottosson of Nekromant, on Rockstar Superhero.
