Quote

I think the dawning of a new era sounds a bit pretentious, and to me it's simply a step closer to my roots, and thus yes - I do feel liberated by this. I know many dislike this move, and I suspect that it is not really the dawning of a new era, but rather a move to a style which sells less records

The ‘black metallers’ will probably continue to ‘get loaded,’ ‘get high,’ and in all other manners too behave like the stereotypical Negro they will probably continue to get foreign tribal tattoos, dress, walk, talk, look and act like homosexuals, and so forth.

The more I got to knew about Paganism the more Pagan I became, so to say, but I didn't really know enough until after the creation of Burzum.

Words and ideas can change or influence the mind just like music can - yes, like a spell. Regarding the effect of my spells I think it varies my music communicates with some, and I think it has had a positive influence on the minds of those who like it. I hope it helped them see the world from a different perspective.

The problem is that mainly the metal press has an interest in Burzum, and the rest of the world... probably hardly even know Burzum exists, and those who do shy away due to my fairly (:-))

Unless you already have a name well known in at least one stratum of society, I don't think trying to do things yourself will be easy - if at all possible.

My musical ambitions are not that great. I make music I like, and thankfully - for my ability to make an (fairly...) honest living - at least some others like the music too.

The divide between me and the modern world is growing further because I to a larger degree manage to rid myself of my dependence on the modern world. If the modern world collapsed tomorrow I would be fine, and I see so many others who would not be.

Out of pure spite we pretty much always said the opposite of what the other said, no matter what they said, only to mark distance. That's how we ended up calling ourselves Satanists, despite the fact that we absolutely were not. There was not a single Satanist in the whole Black Metal scene in Norway in 1991-92.

Being a man with a conscience I simply felt that I had to do something - anything! - about the world we live in.

Being attacked by the press is not something I see as a problem, but rather a confirmation that I am on the right track. It is even better when they ignore me completely, like the Norwegian press does that means they are really afraid.

A man can only grow to a certain point when alone to grow further you need some irrational shocks, like a wife and children a dramatic change to your own life.

Europe really needs to wake up, cast aside the lies and get rid of the Jewish yoke we live under - once and for all.

With the risk of being accused of quoting the wrong person I can say that [Adolf] Hitler wrote that the more the press attacks a person the closer he is to us.

I wish I could say differently, but I really don't think so. There are too many musicians already for probably anyone to be noticed without some sort of commercial support. Even the most talented ones drown in a sea of mediocrity, and only the politically correct ones will ever be promoted (willingly...) by the press anyhow.

I have a fairly well known name, so for me to do things my way is not that hard.

Being a Pagan without knowing much about Paganism is a bit silly, in the sense that you would probably have been a Pagan had you known more, but you could not really be because you only knew so much about it.

If I like the music then at least some others will too, and that is all that matters in this context.

To a large degree I don't even like most metal music I hear.

My own growth is a part of a group evolution, definitely. It does feel as if the changes in the group are meant to be, and that I am not as much a catalyst, so to say, but rather a result of this.

Joining a sub-culture, any sub-culture, for whatever reason, is as I see it never a legitimate self-expression. It is always a result of sheep mentality a wish to belong somewhere.
