История Блэк Металла от Mankubus'a

-----------------------The Norwegian Neo-Vikings are toying with the idea of ending Xpuctuhctba on
Earth. They burn down medieval churches, killing their ministers, and
play black metal, pleasing themselves with the hope that in this way they
bringing the rise of the dark gods closer...
The sky is overcast with gloomy gray clouds. Here, an hour away
from Oslo, there are the remains of the Holen Church - only the foundation from
pink granite and several stones. In the middle of the ruins of the fire they fly
Burnt pages of chorale hymns floated through the air. Forged nails
are scattered mixed with the bones of ministers buried in hundreds
years ago under the temple. Holen Church burned to the ground by the past maem
the most recent on the list of this national Norwegian
disasters: 22 churches, and several other monuments
medieval Christian culture were destroyed by arson for
last four years.
A short, fair-haired man kneels before
the grave of his mother, who, together with others, is located nearby
from the place where the church used to stand. When I ask him who
did this, pointing to the ruins of the church, he answers
broken English: "Satanists."
To a casual visitor, Norway will seem like a fairyland.
wooden red-bearded houses, lacecurtains and bottles
blue glass on the window sills. Fir groves cover the fjords,
and almost all the people around are fair-haired, high-cheeked handsome men.
Oslo, the capital of Norway, is filled with pastel-colored buildings and
gift shops selling toy trolls,
bukuhrckumu amyletami and warm cbutepamu from Norwegian wool
deer.
Crystal purified water streams flow through the fjord.
The sky here is blue, such as there is nowhere else on earth -
perhaps because this person has a completely conquered
paradise on the west coast of Norway. Norwegians call this
The area around Bergen is the gateway to the fjords. It's several hundred
kilometers to the Northern Cape and further the northern regions lead you,
leaving civilization behind. Behind Bergen people were drilling tunnels
through the mountains that lead from one fjord to another. And here you are
You reach the last outpost of civilization in this paradise - the prison. She
resembles a youth hostel: white houses with red roofs.
They are built low so as not to attract too much
attention.
The young man who arrives here and comes through to me
the corridor in one of the buildings looks very calm. He
shakes my hand in a friendly way: Christian Bukephec,21 years old, very
slender rock star in Norway. His hair is cut short, he
wears a worn-out shirt and combat boots.
When Bukephec, the only member of a metal band
Burzum looks out the window, then through the trees he sees a high wall
with search lights and an observation tower. Bukepheca
sentenced at trial for robbery, illegal possession of explosives
substances, serious arson. But the main thing is why he sits in
prison is for murder. "The man I killed was mine
enemy,” reports Bukephec, “What else should I have done?
him? “Enemies must fight against each other,” he thinks, and
only the strongest must survive. We must kill
old and sick, but unfortunately democracy protects any life
and that is why he is against democracy. Bukephec sits on his
motionless in his chair, his hands folded on the table. He speaks to
cold, without any intonation in the voice. "The greatest
number of people are stupid. They shouldn't have the right to speak. "
, he reports. "And only they will allow me to become a dictator
Scandinavia. "But first the soft-faced youth must wait
of its time. He will spend the next twenty years in
prison
It started in the spring of '73, when he was born inBergen. His
Lene's mother was a secretary, his father Lars was an electronic engineer
a very normal family at first glance. But father very often
beat his wife when he was in a bad mood and often beat
his son. The Christian tried to avoid the beating by any means
up to running away from home. He was lonely at school. He loved at home
sit in your room and play soldiers. Later he started
play war video games, read Tolkien's book "Overlord"
rings." Of all the creatures listed in the book, emy is the most
I liked the evil and bloodthirsty Orcs.
When Xpuctuahy was 14 years old, his mother divorced his father.
She made up for the lack of love for her son by buying an emy guitar. He became
play it often, sometimes for hours, sometimes for
days. The more he played, the more emy liked it. He founded
his first group called Uruk-Hai. He got it
name from the book "Lord of the Rings" - it was the name of the race
demons. He left school in order to have more time
spend giving himself over to the music, but he was still the only member
Uruk-Hai, because in a small town like Bergen there is no
it was very easy to find other young people who did the same
wanted to play intensely, but that didn't bother him. At least
at least no one could interfere chis musical direction.
But the man his mother married soon after
divorce tried to intervene. The Christian had to cut his hair
hair and try to find a job. But most of all he shouldn't
was taking the music he played so seriously, although
it remains the most important thing in the world for Bukepheca.
In 1989 he met a young man from Oslo,
who was 4 years older than Bukepheca. He had long
black hair, he wore black clothes and the man's name was
Oistin Orseth, but he didn’t like it when his friends called him that
should have called him Eypohumoycom, a name borrowed from
from Greek mythology: Euronymous - prince of death. Euronymous
had a record store in Oslo called
Helvete (Hell), and a small recording studio, Deathlike Silence.
Euronymous also released an album by their group called
Mayhem. This group took as a prototype the evil music they played
English group Venom, a group that sang about the Devil and
death, played intensely and quickly, regulated in 1982
standards for a musical genre called "Black Metal"
(Black metal). But it wasn't enough for Euronymous - emy
I wanted something more. He had badges on his clothes
National People's Army, ahe was also a supporter
communist party. Bukephec didn't understand what this was for
was Orzet, but at that time he listened with rapture to his speeches on
account of the Devil, curses of Christians... They decided that they should
spread the correct - evil faith, but Bukephec is not completely
understood Orzet, but he, in turn, had no idea about it
disagreements between them. Bukephec understood what he was wearing
wrong name for being part of a gang and that's it
so he started calling himself Baprom, which is according to Tolkien's book
means "wolf". Bukephec began to travel to Oslo more and more and
more, visited Euronymous in Helvete. Customers rarely
arrived here, but musicians from other Norwegian
Black metal bands often came here. They
stayed there for hours, talked, drank beer and
finally found out that in their movement the boss had to be
Euronymous. He thought Bukephec from Bergen was just good
comrade, admittedly a little young, but he didn’t drink beer or smoke
cigarettes and camoe, most importantly, - Varg admired Orzet and seemed to be
prepared to go along with everyone and, in addition,
he played the guitar well.
Meanwhile, Bukephec found two musicians in Bergen,
who also played Black Metal. Together withwith them he founded the group
called Old Funeral. They regularly
rehearsed, but during this they drank too much
alcohol. Bukephc thought this was idiotic and soon left the group
he wanted to make music on his own. When Bukephecy
turned 18, his mother rented a house specifically for
son. He covered all the windows with blankets, lit candles,
guitar or read books on Norwegian history, sagas and Tolkien. B
them he unearthed two names that most emy
liked: Burzum is the name of his new group c
the only member and pseudonym of Grishnakh, which he became
call yourself an artist. He was also interested in the history of it
ancestors - the Vikings, who conquered Scandinavia and part of Europe,
worshipers of Odin - the god of war. Bukephec decided that his new
the group must make a lot of noise in order for the Scandinavians
began to worship their real god - Odin. He started
collect old weapons and decorate your home with them - axes, daggers,
swords...Battle scenes and fascist swastikas.
A few weeks later, the satanic circle began to lead
a small war against English magazines and musicians.
The English often laughed at the Norwegians because they desperately
took an example from the group Venom, whichtreated my
creativity is much less serious. Euronymous was furious and
along with him were members of the satanic circle - they promised death
to all the Englishmen coming to Norway on tour. When
English group Paradise Lost came to
Norway, their bus was attacked by hordes of black fans
metal Paradise Lost singer Nick Holmes later said:
"Suddenly our bus was surrounded by ten and twelve year olds
teenagers who started throwing stones at us."
The satanic circle declared war not only against the English
bands, but also against Swedish and Finnish ones such as Therion
for example. Their singer Christopher Johanssen woke up one morning
because of a strange noise and saw the front door on fire. Also
an inscription was carved on it using a dagger: “Grishnakh was
here and will return again." Police arrested an 18-year-old girl
named Suuvi Prurunen. She admitted that she started the fire.
When the police searched her house, they found her diary, from which
they learned that Bukephec ordered the girl to do this, but
during interrogation, he said that he was seeing Prurunen for the first time. Varg was
released. Prurunen was sent to a mental hospital for a year.

In stonebuilding standing alone in the suburbs of Oslo,
The group Mayhem took refuge, choosing this place for their rehearsals -
in a komahte, decorated with a bleached tapestry and flags
cbactukamu, stretched under the ceiling. Viking swords and
inverted crosses hang from the walls. Now lives here
Hellhammer is the only remaining member of this glorious team.
Norwegian black metal emerged in the late eighties and became
a product of the union of death metal and the Viking passion for
bloodshed. This style combines classic trash
the sound of guitars and all sorts of nonsense crap, ranging from gloomy
symphonic synths and ending with a solo on a medieval flute.
Vocals of this style prefer to squeal like a poor woman possessed
evil spirits little girl (see film The Exorcist), screaming
listeners of stories about "evil forces", "Satan", "night forests,
trolls and northern gods." Some time ago members of Mayhem
lived together in a medieval castle with two high towers in
a tiny town called Krakstad.
“The people there were very superstitious,” he recalls with a smile.
Hellhammer. "When we entered a store, all these
old ladies ran out screaming. At Sunday school they
They told the children that our castle was bought by the devil."
Mayhem doesn't eventried to dissuade them from this. On stage
lead vocalist, Dead, wore rags that were specially
buried in the ground so that it would thoroughly rot and accumulate
on itself worms and grave beetles. He was tall, very thin
a man with skin so white that it seemed blue. Even in
During rehearsals, this guy managed to wear the so-called
"corpse mask robe", consisting of black and white colors,
obviously inspired by the idea of the plague. Before execution he
inhales deeply from a plastic bag containing a dead
crow. "Emy needs to smell the stench of death before every
song,” Hellhammer readily explains.
Dead, as his nickname should have implied, became
literally dead - the first of the group. In 1991 he committed
suicide by blowing his head off with a shotgun. "I wasn't even
surprised," Hellhammer said about it. "He was a strange guy
all the time he was chatting something about kapnatckux castles and the fact that his
life is just a dream." Hellhammer and Euronymous, guitarist of the group,
they found Dead lying on the floor, and he was dead, like that crow,
the smell of which he is accustomed to inhale. The walls and floor were painted
his blood and brains. Euronymous didn't look much
concerned about this. In fact, according to Hellhammer, he collected
pieces of a friend's brain, mixedthem with ham, vegetables, paprika and
prepared a stew in this way. He always said it was good
it would be to eat flesh, so he considered it Dead's suicide
a wonderful way to implement this idea.
Hellhammer dressed in official black metal fashion: high tops
boots, jeans and a leather jacket. Everything is black. Amulet in
the shape of Thor's hammer and a pentagram hanging from his neck. He assured
that I haven't tried said Dead brain brew, "I would
I just vomited." A minute later he told what he had done to himself
medallion from a piece of the skull of their vocalist.
Black metal was not always so black. In the early
eighties, British bands like Venom saw themselves
only as a musical component of the horror industry and played their
the role of Satan's followers with a certain amount of humor. But something
happened when black crossed the northern mope. For Norwegian
black bands, their style is something more than stage
action. They believe that through their activities they are helping to expel
Christianity from Norway and bring back ancient paganism. Special
the revival of bukuhrckux customs plays a role in their creativity
all the ensuing delights in the form of bloody feudal
Inter-fighting and blood feud. Other teams quickly appeared
followingMayhem on the black metal scene, including Darkthrone, Burzum,
Immortal, Enslaved and Emperor. Each of them released several
albums on studios such as Head Not Found and Deathlike
Silence.
Euronymous is that fat spider in the web of black metal,
much more interesting being angry than depressive,
like Dead. As he told Hellhammer, he had no sensations
as such; pain for him was the same pleasure. In the corpse
coloring book, with long black hair, a devil's beard and
mustache, waxed so that it curled like a pig's
tail, it was something demonic. His interest in chemistry
led him to create a laboratory in the basement of the castle, where she lived
the team he filled with distillers, Bunsen
burners and toxic fumes. He usually appeared in black
cloak, but in this laboratory he wore exclusively white
medical gown with gold buttons and a high collar.
He spent hours in the basement, laughing like an idiot and mixing
all kinds of chemicals. An unexpected explosion of one of the
such mixtures splashed the devilish brew of emy right on his head.
“He lit up like a torch,” Hellhammer recalls, “even under
With water, this thing kept burning!"
In the early90s Euronymous acquired `Hell` - store
sound recording studio in Oslo, which served as the main hub for
black movement.. Members of the self-proclaimed Inner Circle
they piled matpacob in the basement, damp and black as a mine.
The parties held at Hell have become legendary: huge,
chaotic orgies, medieval candlesticks illuminated members
Circles painted to look like dead people, in black hoods c
various bukuhrckumu gadgets in hands. Many people cut it themselves
themselves with knives or broken bottles. More often, started as
should the feast set out to desecrate cemeteries, split
gravestones and using aerosol cans of paint
draw pentagrams and numbers 666 on the walls of public toilets.
Some, as Hellhammer recalled, even fired at the walls of houses.
One guy drove a huge nail into his own head.
Euronymous beat himself with a bull whip until he bled
appeared through his clothes in scarlet stripes.
From this hellish basement, Euronymous became the leader of the scene. He
I always cherished the hope that black metal would incite youth to violence.
While studying methods of torture, he conducted long experiments on how
pain can be frightening for victims. “It was an exciting time,” says
Samoth, guitarist from Emperor. - we were all obsessed with
reasoning about ourhatred of Christianity and how
bring back the Viking religion." All members of the Inner Circle
despised Christianity for its love for the weak and weakness,
That's why we came up with the idea of setting wooden churches on fire
Norway. This would remind our compatriots that they are all
more sons of Odin.
Fantoft Church was built by Nordic carpenters in
early medieval period. It stood from the 12th century until
was burned to the ground on June 6, 1992. Another fire
destroyed Holmancollen Chapel, the church founded by the king
Harald the Fifth. Then there were other arson attacks. In September Samoth
wrote his name in history by burning down another church. His
colleague Count Grishnackh, who had already participated in the burning
of the churches mentioned above, helped Samoth in accomplishing this
heroic act. “It seemed to me that I was a prophet,” describes
your feelings Samoth. "There was a small door under the altar, in
which we poured out several gallons of kerosene and threw a match
and then run to the car." The couple drove all night,
fleeing from Pogland, where they started the fire, to Oslo.
“A strange feeling came over us in this car,” says
Samoth with its soft olocom. His long black hair is almost
hide his facial features. There was a storm with thunder and rain. We were driving
along a narrow village road with no light except the fire of our headlights"...
Varg Bukephec sparkles with his blue eyes, like
electric welding. Equipped like a Viking dandy with boots,
a hood hung with chain mail and amylets, it is cold and
arrogant, his emotions and actions are based more on
ideology rather than on something that may end up in his soul. He
believes that the Inner Circle has every right to use weapons
and fire as a means of achieving their vague goals. "In camo
in fact, didn’t the patriarchs of Christianity exterminate the pagans with fire?
idols?"
Spilling kerosene on the ancient wood of the walls of the Fantoft Church,
Varg lit a few matches to get the fire going.
Coming out of the burning church, he turned around at the exit and felt
how his hair stood on end when he saw how tongues
flames lick the base of the cross.
After the police got to him and he appeared on
pages of all Norwegian newspapers with all bukuhrckux regalia,
Euronymous predicted that Varg would soon commit
something even more “great” to get into the newspapers once again.
He had no idea that he foresaw his own death. Less
thantwo months later Euronymousa's body was found in his
room. Bukephec was accused of his murder.
Varg had many reasons to kill Orzeth -
he stole y Bukepheca a 16-year-old girl from Sweden named
Ilsa, besides, Varg paid him 40,000 kpohh for the publishing house
his new album, but he had no intention of doing this.
Varg's presence at the trial was as outrageous as
comical. His long hair was braided in braids like
slanderous tails, and he constantly kpetuhcku laughed at
throughout the entire court ceremony. However, the facts were
unyielding and terrifying. August 10, 1993 Varg and another guy
nicknamed Chop (leader of the band Blackthorn) traveled for six hours by
Volkswagen from Bergen to Oslo. Back in Bergen they dropped off a guy
named Andreas Nogelset so that he could create an alibi for them,
umutupobab noisy rehearsal. Varg had a copy in his hands
contract with the recording studio, which was the reason for the visit
in Euronymous's abode. They may have discussed a way in advance
who were to kill their unfortunate colleague. First
Varg suggested simply hacking the victim to death with an axe, but later
I came to the conclusion that it would be stupid to hang around with such a thing
among residential buildings. According to another plan, it was necessary to lure
Euronymoussupposedly to show emy something on his
computer and then stab him in the neck when he
sit with your back to them. In the end they gathered, equipped
primitive arsenal: Varg hid three knives in his clothes, a
an ax, a bayonet and a
just in case, a baseball bat.
Euronymous took the call in his underwear. As he says
cam Varg, the victim looked sick and weak. After the greeting
Euronymous turned and went to the kitchen. Bukephec took out a knife and
followed him. Chop was waiting on the stairs when he heard a scream
victims o help. The door flew to the side and Euronymous fell out
emy towards me with his face and shoulders covered in blood, which
gushed from the severed arteries. An autopsy showed that the poor guy
died from 23 stab wounds - two in the head, five in the neck and
sixteen in the back. (!)
Returning to Bergen, the friends stopped at a lake. Varg
took off his clothes and washed the blood from his hair, hands and face. He also washed
his knife, tied the soiled clothes to a stone and drowned the knot in
water. But he was still depressed and worried since he left
contract signed this afternoon in the house of the murdered man. Besides this
obvious stupidity, he forgot to put on gloves... He didn’t even know
did he killEuronymous, or is he still alive...
The next day he suddenly became bolder. In almost
in an unimaginable fit of pride, he rushed into the Voices of office
Wonder Records in Oslo, decked out like a Viking warrior, chained up
in armor and chain mail and laid out his knife. Meanwhile, the police
We have already interrogated more than a hundred black metal musicians. At the end
In the end it came down to Varg's fingerprints, and he turned out to be behind
lattice...

Everyone in black metal tells the same story that everything
they were drugged, but never enslaved by the church that their
my parents never believed in God. Mandatory religion course in
They found school boring and mind-numbing. The teachers forced them
memorize stupid prayers that they never believed in.
This attitude, however, is not new. Norwegian attitude
There has always been ambivalence towards Christianity. In 995 AD
Olaf the First Tpurrbacoh brought Christianity along with gold and
silver into the Norwegian wilderness. He forcibly introduced a new faith in
Norwegian people, burning pagan temples, offering a simple
choice between a new religion and death.
Lutheran reformation in 1537, although notwas like this
bloody, but was just as messy. Lutheran
priests arriving from Germany did not even know the local
language. Their main doctrine was that paying tithes and
corvee was the only reliable passport to heaven. In Norway
The Lutheran Church is part of the state, the government
includes bishops, and King Harald is the official
head of the church. However, only three percent of the population considers themselves
convinced Christians and attends church on Sundays.
"Satanists are right in their denunciation of the hypocrisy of the Norwegian
spiritual life,” notes Trond Viggo Torgerson. - This is
a turning point in the history of our country. Daily life
shines with stupidity and is focused on consumption. Many people
They would rather worship MacDonald than the church." Torgersen

the burning of churches is evidence that the official church
mired in bureaucracy and lost its vitality, he answered with
with dull anger: “these arson attacks didn’t even cause much harm

shook his head: “There’s something medieval about this,
confrontation between pagans and Christians, both sides are too
literal in their interpretations." He believes that Norway
we need a religion to fill the spiritual emptiness of this
people. "These bukuhrckue ideas about blood feud, honor,
senseless cruelty... We must remember that the Vikings
disappeared with the advent of Christianity. These rapists
transformed by the ideas of the New Testament - humanism,
forgiveness, the overwhelming power of love."
Nebelhexa, Samoth's wife, met her future husband when
Emperor opened Cradle Of Filth's European tour. A friend asked
her to dress in black leather kopcet and boots. "I went on stage
and saw the band’s guitarist.” The novel developed quickly.
One winter midnight last year Nebelhexa in a long dress
of red velvet and Samoth in his bukuhrckom cloak and c
with an amulet depicting Thor's Hammer, they went to the snowy
mountains not far from where his parents lived. Having found
Samoth cut a clearing surrounded by trees using his
ritual knife palm of Nebelhexa, and she also did the same thing with
with his hand. "We pressed our palms together and our blood, mixing,
fell on the white snow." Theymade promises to the mighty father of heaven and
to all tree spirits, then exchanged rings with
with prayers to the Torah engraved on them.
Nebelhexa preferred her own research in magic to any
organized religion. She concocted potions from herbs, bones,
feathers and sexual fluids, casting spells to
protect those she loved and ee camy from her enemies. In the past she
collected the roots and wove them together in an attempt to strengthen her
relationship with her husband, who received two years in prison for arson.
"Magic is closer to the body - you create your own harmony. This
not Christianity, in which you belong to some god."
When they remembered the burning of churches and the participation of Samoth himself in
this, she was upset and tried to convince everyone that Samoth was
under the strong influence of the much more persistent Grishnackh. "Language
it is suspended well. He told Samoth that by burning churches they
will push Christianity back to the Middle East and become
kings." Another of Grishnakh's many plans, according to ee
According to him, he raped King Harald's sister Princess Astrid,

take into account that Samoth was only 17 at the time. What are you
what else would be expected from brats whose idiosyncrasy has played out
to the society in which they lived? Nebelhexa then tells o
how all her friends started to think she was crazy for having this relationship
with Satanists who burn churches."But my friends are just the same

Faust Prison is equipped with a high degree of security and
is the most strict in Norway, however flowers and neglected
the green lawns surrounding this building made it look
more like a hospital. Like everything in Norway, the prison is clean and
well-groomed. A caring, pretty security guard guides me through
metal corridor... she politely asks me if I want
leave your bag in a special locker.
Faust flies into the visiting room with the energy of a fly,
he is wearing grey-white prison pajamas, suggesting such
dear emy winter forests. This guy with well developed shoulders
a hefty man has the same childish view of his surroundings,
which I noticed in Hellhammer, but the psychology of the unconscious
owns him much more, he looks more like an angry boy from
"Lord of the Flies". Plopping down in a chair, he begins eagerly
tellthat I have always been fascinated by the idea of murder,
collected books, magazines and everything that contained notes about serial
killer maniacs. After he moved out of his little
villages in Oslo, his interest in violence increased. He started
invent an entire moral universe built on the principles
black metal. "I began to think about macro and mukpokocmocax,
comparing life to the dust of a distant planet, God knows what
there is nothing in the middle of the galaxy. In my reasoning I deprived the fact
human life has any value."
In August 1992, when Faust was walking around just
a completed park in Lillehammepe, some guy approached
him and suggested that we go together to the grove to have a good
have sex. "I didn't drink or do any drugs that day. I was just very
wanted to take this dude's life. Maybe my subconscious
told me I was right because this guy is gay."
Faust agreed, and they climbed far into the forest. As soon as
the guy approached Faust with the intention of stealing it from the latter
pants, Faust thrust a knife straight into the unfortunate man's guts. "He screamed
“No!”, but I was beside myself, as if mad, I stuck a knife into him
over and over again. When he fell and the light of life faded from his eyes,
I kicked him to check that he was really dead.
Then I went home ccompletely empty-headed, like a zombie."
Two days after this murder, Grishnackh, Euronymous,
and Faust arrived at Holmencollen Chapel, not far from
Olympic ski jump. It was a symbolic act
katapcuca for Faust. First they put a homemade bomb on
altar, but when she refused to explode, they piled
prayer books and Bibles on top, doused the entire pile with kerosene and
lit a match. "We climbed the mountain to see from above
how it burns. The fire was very beautiful and exciting, and when we
returned to our lair, to Hell, with great difficulty
forced myself to sleep."
After his crime became widely known, Faust
looked through the newspapers every day, but after a few weeks
Not a single line about the murder in the forest appeared. "Time has passed,
and I had almost forgotten that I was a murderer." Now he earned 14
years in prison. If you think he's discouraged that he
put behind bars, you are mistaken. A man lives by his sword
proclaims Faust, society must return to nature
order of survival with the help of force. He sees himself as not a criminal,

Ihsahn, Emperor's lead vocalist, was the only one

trousers and a silk shirt, with long dark hair,
falling over the shoulders and back. This dark prince prefers

When I asked him why he wasn't with Samoth and Grishnackh
on the night they set fire to Skjold'e church, he explained that
he was not at home when these guys specifically came to pick him up,
otherwise he would willingly join them. Christianity is for
those who live in the desert and wear sandals, so he thinks. "They

“Pop music is built on weakness,” she argues, “but black
does not value sacrificing oneself for the sake of others at all, as
Jesus bequeathed. Vikings are strong enough to live by the sword."
Ihsahn considers vampires a great symbol of Satanism.
He also sees a connection between vampires and Vikings. "Vikings
they come and take what they need, by force and with blood. They
feed on others like vampires." When I asked Ihsahn o
the fascist tendencies of black metal, about the atomic massacre, about the fact that
weakness is an internal quality of even the strongest person,
this vampire immediately became boring. "Listen," he said, "you never

dens on the sites of church altars. But like little children,
followers of black metal do not see the difference between a fairy tale and
reality, visible and invisible, real evil and stage

happily riding their fucking skis, could anyone
assume the emergence of such a style as black metal? He's just
only exposes the dark side, deep melancholy and
the endless winter night of the Norwegian soul...
Black Metal continues to scare idyllic Norway with its
primitive pagan ideology and terrorist acts.
Last spring, Bishop Aarflot recommended that any church
acquire security on the eve of the sixth of June at six o'clock in the evening,
explaining that "666 is the most important number for
Satanists, and no one will vouch for any church in
mentioned time." Churches continue to be a tasty morsel

Our fire hasn't gone out yet."
Count Grishnackh, Norway's most notable criminal,
is now the center of a kind of cult of his followers.
More than a hundred nucbmob fans come to his chamber a week.
He was recently transferred to another prison from Bergen. In the past
interview from behind bars Count said he no longer wants
his name was associated with black metal. Now he definitely

develop into an organization called the Norwegian National
Front. It is clear from his prison photograph that
hair dyed black regains its original appearance
Norwegian whiteness, but hypnotic blue eyes
have changed. "Son of Odin", "pagan prince of the North" spends his
endless prison time studying Nordic history and
occultism. He plans, using mail and computer networks,
directly from the cell to master the still raw brains of your young
adorers, directing their virgin strength against society, whose
consciousness has been washed clean by rotten Christian ideology.
Led by his Viking hand, as he dreams, the young hordes will bring
a new pagan era using whatever means are needed, in
best bookstyle.
And here is a recent interview with Count`a Grishnakh`a after
transfer to another prison from Bergen:
Josef Terboven: What is it like to be behind bars?
Varg Vikernes: At the moment I am in isolation, so
as he told one of the guards that he “could do a favor
hanged himself to society." The staff regarded this as a death threat and
He put me in a separate cell. I usually read and answer
letters, watching TV shows. Prison life is more
restless. Reading 30-40 pages daily requires considerable
effort. But I force myself to read. Lately I haven't
very intensive correspondence, I write one or two nucmba a day.
Here you also need to either work (assemble lamps from parts), or
go to school. Since I refused work, I have to go to
school. I would never work for the government! Actually I live from
10 other prisoners. We have a shared bathroom, toilet and
kitchen. At 9 pm we are sent to separate cells, where we
We spend the rest of the evening. Rise at 7 o'clock in the morning, and half an hour later
We stand in a line to go to work, to school. Now I
I am in a cell from the outside, and therefore at night it is very
cold. You have to sleep in clothes and boots. Iasked
heater, but the guards said I could light a fire and
set fire to the cabinet in the cell. In prison, a person quickly gets used to such
nonsense.
Josef Terboven: What is your biggest concern right now?
problem?
Varg Vikernes: Last week my computer was taken away.
They found the newsletter I prepared and confiscated it
reason that I could have a bad influence on other prisoners. A lot
my letters disappear for unknown reasons.
Josef Terboven: Can there be early release?
Varg Vikernes: Most prisoners serve two-thirds of their sentences
of my terms, so I should be released in about 9 years.
Next year I will get 12 hours of "vacation", and in subsequent years
years it will be possible to leave prison for 18 days annually.
Josef Terboven: Do you regret the murder?
Varg Vikernes: The only thing I regret is that I
I didn’t kill the person who was with me. In court he
made an idiot of himself. I told the judges that he has nothing to do with

was horrified that he was testifying against himself. Only
a sick person can dosomething like that.
Josef Terboven: If we talk about the camom process, what about it
do you think?
Varg Vikernes: It was just a show. Chief Judge
I was so stupid that I could barely count (laughter). Bench
the jury consisted of two macohobs, a Christian healer, a

he did not react to his hatred of homosexuals). One
one of the psychiatrists was a Jew, and the other a communist. All this
reminiscent of a circus - a bunch of monkeys perform for the press. I want
so that the case was sent for further investigation, since I
convicted for pure murder, and not for self-defense.
Josef Terboven: What do you mean?
Varg Vikernes: I killed him because I knew he would
try to kill me until emy succeeds. I have
proof that he wanted me dead.
Josef Terboven: What do you think about the Norwegian black scene
metal?
Varg Vikernes: Honestly speaking, there is no scene and never
it was. It was just Euronomous's stupid dream, picked up
press, and it consistedprimarily from long-haired
teenagers who love to shock their parents. Never
was "Satanic Inner Circle"! Euronomous wanted to create
lie to really evil people, but no one listened to him, not even
other members of Mayhem.
Josef Terboven: What is Satanism for you?
Varg Vikernes: Satanism is one of the varieties
paganism. The word "Satan" itself means "adversary." One
is the enemy of the Christian god - the one-eyed Satan.
If we talk about Satanism from the point of view of mediums, then here we are talking
First of all, it's about sex. This is something for average guys
age who have watched quite a lot of porn and
they demand something new for themselves, go and rape children, etc. Yes
or otherwise an ordinary Norwegian Satanist is a 14-year-old
a teenager who rebels against his parents. The rest -
they are scum, garbage, trying to look serious while playing
into Satanism.
Josef Terboven: What will happen to Burzum now?
Varg Vikernes: Another album "Balders Dod" will be released
Varg Vikernes: When I was in prison in Bergen, I had
four-track tape recorder and synthesizer. I composed an album on
guitar,but recorded it on a synthesizer. That's all I can say
on this topic.
Josef Terboven: What about the future? What will you be doing in 10-12
years?
Varg Vikernes: I hope that I will be released and continue my
work until death, and besides... I have enough time,
to think about all this. The only thing I know
for sure: Burzum will never die...
