Bolt the door, Varg is loose!

(^Sheesh.)

I bet Ole Grishnach's gonna cool out for a long time when he gets out, but then he's going to do something completely out to lunch.

yet another dodgy electronic album?

I hear actually he's gonna bring back eski

Who ate all the pies?

kind of depressing apologetics for Varg in this thread.

seriously.

you're right, when you disagree with someone you must not, ever, discuss the content of their beliefs or allow that some points may be interesting, even if repellent.

I wonder what his parole conditions will be? Hopefully there'll be a clause about not being allowed to collaborate with Stephen O'Malley.

He has to work w/ David Stewart. And eno.

you're attributing too much to Varg's 'beliefs' here. it's not really interesting or compelling at all. i could very well throw a Jew on a cross and say 'they did it first, they deserved it'.

i have no problem discussing his philosophy, i just find it unfortunate that we're giving it some amount of credence when it's so obviously idiotic and heinous.

OMG, he's like the lovechild of Elbow's Guy Garvey and iLiKETRAiNS' Dave Martin!

what understanding would come from discussing something that you think is obviously idiotic and heinous?

not to be a pedant but that's not what apologetics means

also, you're wrong

your analogy is also miraculously inapt also though if this were an imageboard "I could very well throw a Jew on a cross" would certainly reach legendary macro status

i'm still amazed at how different he looks in those before and after shots.

marc singer made a similar transformation after Beastmaster.

we'll always remember the tragic incident where he burned down the christian science reading room in van nuys...

Thread needs Momus.

Varg refusing to post anymore to teh internets, according to his webmaster, due to purported copyright infringers. He also said something like "I was going to sink into obscurity anyway when released, so I will just go ahead and start now."

He's eligible for parole in April.

He was jailed in 1993 and according to customs here, he will probably be free soon. As it is unusual for Norwegian prisoners to serve more than about two thirds of the sentence in jail. He got 21 years, which means those 14 years have passed soon.

Then he will serve another six months for each of his last two albums.

Some crazed junkie claimed he saw varg driving around here a month ago. He got scared and hid behind a tree.

True story.

Did the junkie have brown eyes? I'd be scared, too.

He's kind of cute.

"I was going to sink into obscurity anyway when released, so I will just go ahead and start now."

As if...Varg loves TEH DRAMA whether he admits it or not.

He should totally go on The Hills or whatever the hell that show is, and out-drama queen the girls on that show. Or just eat them.

Maybe his eyes were brown? I don't really know. He's not the only one who's seen him so I guess he's on his way back into society(hah!)

And I suspect he's quite the drama queen. The tales of his adventures around here in the early 90's are almost too good to be true.

I think he's making a blond hair-blue eyes Nazi joke.

As if...Varg loves TEH DRAMA whether he admits it or not.

maybe "sink into obscurity" is aryan for "buy a couple of assault rifles, 15 lbs of ammo and some plastic explosives."

He always makes vague threats about what he will/won't do when he gets out, if he ever gets out.

Has he made threats about making bad electronic albums yet?

in case u want it

He should join this band

God, get one new joek!

You haters realize, of course, that his albums have only gotten BETTER over time, right? And that his experiments with MIDI are GENIUS?

Hopefully he will committ some minor crime like a church burning or something at first. Because, in Norway you may become sentenced to internation in an asylum for life if the patient doesn't seem to recover. However, this opportunity didn't exist at the time Vikernes was in court, so when he gets out he is free. They will probably take the first possible opportunity to sentence him to internation though.

I actually like a lot of the material on "Hliðskjálf." It'd sound better if it weren't performed on whatever lousy keyboard he's got access to in prison, but there are some nice little melodies on there. I'm thinking of "Die Liebe Nerþus'" in particular.

He's no longer allowed to have a synthesizer in prison. They made him pick, and he chose his computer.

Oh.

You know, keeping in touch with the Norwegian neo-nazi movement is a lot more important for him than making music anyway.

He actually thought he would be able to still make music using the computer, but they won't let him have any discs now, so he can't upload any music-making software or anything.

Varg's former webmaster claims that Varg has never used the internet, though! Does having a computer in prison in Norway also mean having internet access?

I should say, rather, the current webmaster of burzum.com (whom I think is Prozak, though I don't really know).

Yeah, I've emailed back and forth with that guy.

Varg does not have internet access; he dictates everything to the webmaster.

He writes it on a piece or rock cake and throws it over the wall.

a piece, or rock cake! cute!

he writes it in a letter, duh.

He's no longer allowed to have a synthesizer in prison. They made him pick, and he chose his computer.

This should be a condition of his parole too, along with the Stephen O'Malley thing I mentioned earlier.

He constantly petitions for more things, and has them given to him by certain officials and then taken away by others.

Can't wait for our next conjugal visit this Thursday.

(jk!!!!)

In August 2005 Vikernes married "Golden Girls" actress Bea Arthur, whom he met through prison correspondence, fulfilling one of his sect's ancient prophecies.

who in metal is the antifa varg?

Barney Greenaway maybe?

Greenway sorry https://thequietus.com/articles/29091-napalm-death-interview-2

Metal BLM compilations are now a thing fwiw.

why isn't the racist stuff called white metal?

White masses are a no-no.

the blackness=darkness=evil thing is another whole can of worms tbh. it’s not completely unrelated

do we have to do #notallmetal every time with this? is there another thread for the good antifascist stuff?

who in metal is the antifa varg?

Barney Greenway — and indeed Napalm Death more broadly, since there's never been a story about one member disagreeing with the others on politics. (Their late guitarist Jesse Pintado was also a member of Resistant Culture, a Native American grind band whose albums Welcome to Reality and All One Struggle are excellent.)

do we have to do #notallmetal every time with this?

Yes.

He's against burning leaves?

what if you burn down a church but accidentally scorch some shrubbery?

Fuck you, imago

metal is my favorite genre and yet I have no trouble saying it has a major problem with racism/nazism/fascism/misogyny that I've basically had to spend almost the entirety of the time I've been listening to it fighting against this element.

yeah, liberal/antifa/BLM/progressive/good people metal is also a think and it exists, but I don't think we need to tiptoe around the fact that we have some real lowlifes in the genre. fans and bands both.

*thing

i also love metal and i don't listen to very much black metal, and i feel like i am more likely to find ppl who would punch nazis than ppl who would be nazis at things like maryland deathfest and etc. this is my experience of the genre. i'm not really trying to express "#notallmetal" here, all of this stuff deserves to be interrogated and the racists and fascists need to be rooted out and deplatformed, obviously. i'm sort of sorry i even said anything
