Varg's gone metal again...

Varg Vikernes (a.k.a. Count Grishnackh), the BURZUM mastermind who was convicted of murdering MAYHEM guitarist Oystein Aarseth (a.k.a. Euronymous) in August 1993 and setting fire to three churches, has finished writing nine songs for BURZUM's new album, which he hopes to release next year. He tells Norway's Dagbladet that several record labels are interested in issuing the band's first LP in eleven years. "I want take my time [with the album], so that I can get it the way I like it," Vikernes says. "It will be metal and the fans can expect to hear some real BURZUM."

Dagbladet has posted several exclusive excerpts from Varg Vikernes' as-yet-unpublished book which he wrote during his nearly-16-year prison stay. The book contains Varg's personal account of of what transpired in the years from the Norwegian black metal community's inception in 1991 until he was convicted for murder and church fires three years later.

"I am not the 'Count' that has been portrayed in the media," Vikernes tells Dagbladet. "That is just sad. Those who have known me a long time know that what was written about me was not the complete truth. But I am partly to blame for how things were presented in the press. That's why I wrote this book, which I hope to release via a publisher. I will lay this issue to rest and put what happened behind me. I will begin a new phase in life."

Dagbladet: Do you regret the fact that you killed another human being?

Vikernes: "I cannot regret the fact that I took the life of somone who wanted to kill me. I felt threatened by his plans, but it was never my inention to kill."

Dagbladet: Do you think that you can kill again?

Vikernes: "Everyone is capable of killing. But there is less chance that I will kill again, because I've been in that situation before, and so I know better how to deal with it. It is not possible to know how to behave in threatening situations before you even end up in such a situation. Had I been in the same situation today, I would have contacted the police first."

Although his parole application was denied four times — most recently in September 2008 — Vikernes received word in February that he would be released after serving almost 16 years in prison. He was finally allowed to leave this past spring, according to Dagbladet.

Vikernes currently resides in Bø, a municipality in the county of Telemark, Norway. Varg purchased the farm sometime last year and lives on the property with his French wife (whom he met while he was incarcerated) and son.

"It was completely random that we ended up buying a home here," Vikernes tells Dagbladet. "We wanted a quiet and peaceful place with beautiful scenery outside the city. It is so beautiful up here. Here we can be by ourselves. But there is a lot of work that is required to maintain the house, lawn and garden."

"Drugs are to a larger degree used and misused. Either it is considered to be an 'adult' with coffee or 'cool' with pot and cola."

Still dying over this.

For what it's worth, it's pretty common in Norway to call cocaine "cola".

If the new album has 2 seconds as awesome as "this is HØHHH! WAUH!" it will be a triumph. Dear Varg, please do more stuff like that - you know random shouts and grunts are the main reason Celtic Frost is the greatest band ever.

tom gabriel warrior's syndrome

dude in Corvettes on the west coast used to refer to cocaine as cola in the seventies, I know because my dad was dating their moms & I would hang around in their bands' practice rooms eavesdropping

Did not know this about "cola"! Feelin mad naive tbh.

If the new album has 2 seconds as awesome as "this is HØHHH! WAUH!" it will be a triumph.

SECONDED!! Btw, is this his only recorded English!? I haven't slept in a long time and may be forgetting something obvious

Life Story of Varg Vikerness to Become a Film

o_O

Ugh sorry, false alarm... Everyone already knew. Looks like I've been living under a rock.... :-|

No worries. Now that you mention it, I don't think anyone's linked this interview with the director:

http://www.3ammagazine.com/3am/channeling-chaos-an-interview-with-sion-sono/

Darn it. Adult Content filtered.

"This article is giving me bizarre thoughts of say, scenes of Varg killing Euronymous being made into lowbrow comedy."

As opposed to Varg's descriptions of the murder of Euronymous which play like. . . lowbrow comedy.

Interesting interview. I will see this Lords of Chaos movie no matter how bad it is. That's the sad thing about being a sucker.

I think the movie will actually be pretty good. Whether or not it anything to do with the actual story (whatever that is) is another thing altogether.

SS: Yes. Almost all the money is prepared for this picture but we need a little more, because in this movie many churches burn. It costs, it’s tough, maybe five churches will be burned.

LOLOLOL

Someone needs to do a quick cost analysis of real churches burning vs cgi churches burning.

Low brow comedy, murder, and couple of church burnings, this sounds awesome...

I'm just hoping everyone gets dialects like in Fargo.

is varg seriously threatening to butthouse dude over this movie

Probably not seriously, but it makes for great copy, doesn't it?

yeah if anything varg's definitely proven he's all talk

Hah well not ALL talk.

Time to start that PR campaign for the new album already:

http://www.dagbladet.no/2010/01/26/nyheter/innenriks/brann/honefoss/10112981/

(Dagbladet): Hønefoss church is on fire.

- It's full guy, confirming operations manager at Nordre Buskerud Police District to Dagbladet.

Hønefoss church is a church. The church was consecrated on 10 December 1862, according to the homepages Ringerike kommune. Read more about Hønefoss kirke here.

The pastor of the church Hønefoss, Tor Magnus Amble, was informed of the church guardian of the fire.

- I threw myself in the car and drove down here. Now I stand outside and watch the church burn down, "said Amble to Dagbladet.

According to parish priest, the church was burnt when the fire department came to the place. He does not believe that his work and the meaning meeting place could be saved.

- Now it's only fire fighting that remains. The entire building is going to burn down. It is to cry out, "said Amble.

it's really sad that a bunch of beautiful buildings had to die for all this shitty metal

it's kinda disgusting all these self pitying adult man-children flinging their poop at the world, you know? like seriously they should all shut the fuck up and die

(sorry y'all actually cuz i know some of you cool peeps dig this music but something about this morning at the gym one of the trainers was playing all this nu-metal/post-nu-metal woe is me rock and it was juxtaposed with the news on TV and i kinda was just like god i am so sick of all these dumb fucks with stupid beards and shit yelling shit over super compressed guitars) (ugh)

(varg may be a genius i've never heard his stuff)

is this particular burning black metal-related?

I mean I <3 Burzum a lot and stuff but I'm with ya Matt, and those churches probably had a lot more meaning to some people than say guys like you and I and whoever who think old historical buildings are neat.

Can't read Norwegian, but this was in today's paper, so I'm guessing they're not sure yet about the how/who/why. Sad tho. Black metal is the antithesis of nu-metal, btw.

Yeah black metal isn't exactly very woe is me.

i kinda was just like god i am so sick of all these dumb fucks with stupid beards and shit yelling shit over super compressed guitars

dude, get your facts straight! black metal is a bunch of dumb fucks with stupid makeup and shit screaming over super trebly guitars.

It's not gym music.

xp

black metal is more like woe is you

i dunno i read all this shit that this varg dude says and he sounds like a coward and a loser like most racist ppl like skinheads and shit

i know the lyrics aren't woah is me, i'm talking about these guys worldview

varg is a pussy

"he sounds like a coward and a loser"

I can't disagree with that at all.

i mean he really is a weasel.

Or that.

I dunno, a lot of those lyrics are about being sad and the night is a pretty lady and oh darnit I might as well go to hell, what! Also, crying orcs.

No news here about the cause of the fire, btw.

Woe is orcs.
