🔥 JACKASS x Norwegian Black Metal?! Chris Pontius & Jarle Reveal the Wild Story Behind “Loving The Dead” 🔥
You’re listening to the Mike James Rock Show with Dann & Mike — and this one is seriously unexpected.
Dann sits down with Chris Pontius (yes… THAT Chris from Jackass) and Jarle Kvåle of Norwegian black metal band Vreid to talk about their mind-bending collaboration on the new track “Loving The Dead.”
From a random supermarket in Sweden… to a Scandinavian metal festival invite… to a full-blown creative partnership — this is one of the most unlikely (and coolest) crossovers in heavy music. 🤯
🎥 In this interview, we dive into:
How a black metal vinyl clip accidentally connected Chris & Jarle
The Scandinavian festival moment that sparked the friendship
The upcoming documentary on Nordic black metal
The surreal, David Lynch-inspired concept behind the “Loving The Dead” video (yes, think Twin Peaks vibes 👀)
Agnetha from Järv co-writing and performing on the track
The birth of their side project “The Flying 69s” (and the legendary Jackass stunt that inspired the name 😂)
Whether we might see Vreid on Jackass… or Jackass in Norway
It’s underground creativity at its finest — no commercial rules, no expectations — just artists saying YES to wild ideas and making something unforgettable.
If you love black metal, creative chaos, or just unexpected collaborations that shouldn’t work (but absolutely do), this is the interview for you.
