We sit down with The Merchant, a member of the 90s death metal phenomenon DeathKids and current member of music project/YouTube channel/Twitch channel Carl Delinden. We deep-dive into fantasy, talking everything from LOTR to Dark Crystal and how the genre has changed over the decades. They also discuss Wintersun, their discography, delays, funding and controversy. The Merchant regales us with tales of being a child in a successful death metal band that shared the stage with just about every OSDM legend imaginable. He also talks about being a successful content creator, running a YouTube and Twitch channel and owning a pet Capuchin monkey.
