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.

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

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

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.
― roxymuzak, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 19:44 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 21:15 (sixteen years ago) link
Then he will serve another six months for each of his last two albums.

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.
― Jeff Treppel, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― MRZBW, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 21:46 (sixteen years ago) link
I think he's making a blond hair-blue eyes Nazi joke.

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.

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.
― Geir Hongro, Monday, 20 August 2007 22:07 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― novaheat, Monday, 20 August 2007 23:46 (sixteen years ago) link
He's no longer allowed to have a synthesizer in prison. They made him pick, and he chose his computer.

Oh.
― novaheat, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 00:06 (sixteen years ago) link
You know, keeping in touch with the Norwegian neo-nazi movement is a lot more important for him than making music anyway.
― Geir Hongro, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 00:07 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― roxymuzak, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 00:10 (sixteen years ago) link
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?
― J0hn D., Tuesday, 21 August 2007 00:27 (sixteen years ago) link
I should say, rather, the current webmaster of burzum.com (whom I think is Prozak, though I don't really know).
― J0hn D., Tuesday, 21 August 2007 00:30 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― roxymuzak, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 01:09 (sixteen years ago) link
This should be a condition of his parole too, along with the Stephen O'Malley thing I mentioned earlier.
― Matt #2, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 01:13 (sixteen years ago) link
He constantly petitions for more things, and has them given to him by certain officials and then taken away by others.

Hihi, I think that this might be correct! In older times of Burzum.com I saw Varg discuss about predilection for older women, for dating. I will try to find.

Last news I heard is that his case for release on parole would be re-examined in April. Apparently he does not want a big media exposure about the whole thing so whatever is happening it's not made public, he just wants to 'disappear'.

Varg Vikernes (a.k.a. Count Grishnackh) — the former BURZUM mastermind who is currently serving a Norwegian prison term for the August 1993 murder of MAYHEM guitarist Oystein Aarseth (a.k.a. Euronymous) and setting fire to three churches — will soon be a free man.
In September 2008, Vikernes's fourth application for parole was denied, but a couple of weeks ago he finally received the message he has been waiting for: after almost 16 years in prison, he will be released.
"I will have to report [to the parole officer] for one year — initially every two weeks, and then once a month," Vikernes told the Dagbladet newspaper.
Varg's mother, who last year wrote a letter to Dagbladet in which she argued that her son was being unfairly treated by the justice officials who repeatedly denied his parole application, is very relieved that her son will be able to join his family in Bø (a municipality in the county of Telemark, Norway), where he recently purchased a small farm.
"I am very happy that he has been so strong and that he held out," she said. "It will be good for the family that they can be together every day."
For the past couple of years, Varg has been allowed to leave the prison regularly to walk around Tromsø, Norway (where the prison is located) and visit his family: his mother, his wife, eighteen-month-old son and sixteen-year-old daughter.
"I'm ready for society — and I have been for many years," Vikernes told Dagbladet last July . "I have learned from my mistakes and become older. Now I just want to be together with my family. My mind has never been in prison; I think all the time about what I should do on the day that I am released." He added, "I have barely seen my son since he came into the world. Even though I hear his voice on the phone almost every day, it is very tough to not be present while he is growing up. I miss my family. And I look forward the day that I could work on my farm, create music, write books and be with the wife and kids around the clock — and live a normal life. I have received tremendous support from my family. It means a lot."
Last year it was reported that case workers at the Justice Ministry feared that Vikernes would be unable to adjust to life on the outside after his years in jail.
In denying his parole for the second time, the Justice Ministry emphasized that Vikernes escaped from prison in 2003 and that he has ties to neo-Nazi groups.
"I haven't been in contact with them for a long time. Police security services know this," Vikernes previously told the VG newspaper.

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.

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
