Issue 3 - January `95
Tell me something about your work with Darkthrone.
- Mutual respect and honouring by hailing each other
through our arts.
Did you do anything else on 'Panzerfaust' except some
lyrics? Did you contribute to 'Caravans to emire algol'
in any way?
- All my contributing has been lyrical, both on 'Transilvanian Hunger' and on
'Panzerfaust'.
Nay, no Vargish work on 'Caravans...'
Do you have any idea when these records are to be released?
- Early 1995 A.Y.P.S, I do believe.
What about your own material? When can we expect to hear 'Filosofem'?
- In the winter of 1995 A.Y.P.S, I March perhaps.....
I heard that your latest stuff were some kind of techno. Ambient perhaps?
Does 'Filosofem' yet fall into this category?
- Nay, 'Filosofem' are as metal as shining blades. HLIDSKJALF, a second
project, will be, not exactly techno, nor ambient nor house, but something like
ritualistic trance-music for Ecstasy-magic and tribal dance.
Is it true that you originally played bass on Mayhemīs 'De mysteriis dom
sathanas'?
- Aye, unfortunately.
How did Euronymous get into Black Metal Mafia anyway? And how is it possible
that he became the leader?
- First of all, Euronymous never was the leader of our movement, although he
desperately tried to give people the impression that he was. Secondly, the term
'mafia'
taste sour on my tongue. We had and still have, a movement - something like an
anarchistic (dis)order - without any organization or leaders. Itīs all based on
following a heathen symbology and ideology, not leaders. Still some persons has
become symbols themselves, symbols of our struggle.
Is the Black Metal Mafia still working after all these imprisonments?
- Still the same.
I hail you for killing Euronymous because you acted in the spirit of the
ancient true Norse warriors. Have you received much "fuck off"
letters or any death threats for this great deed of yours?
- Not many, but some. Only some puerile kids too bored to find anything
sensible but sending letters to people they do not like.
I think it is astonishingly ridiculous that bands waging war on Christians
(and just about on everyone) are now screaming because you killed Euronymous.
Do you find this amusing too?
- Itīs proof of their stupidity. Self-contradicting idiots. First they scream
about "survival to the fittest" next they mourn over some loserīs
death.
Aye, amusing it is.
On the other hand, would it be better if all the "true" black
metallers joined together and crushed the Christians before any inside
quarrels!
- Of course, but thatīs fantasy as the vast majority of the Black Metallers,
"true" are but inept losers incapable of even stealing candy from
children. Big mouths, but no courage nor any wits to even plot anything. If you
want to find true Vikings search amongst the ranks of non-musicians
short-haired "normal" people, and amongst the skinheads.
Kerrang once stated that you planned to blow up certain church during Sunday
mass, and that you worked with some neo-nazis on this one, is this true?
- First time I heard this was when forwarded with that article that you speak
of.
Are you, by any chance in the same prison with Faust?
- Luckily for him, Iīm not.
Samoth says that you are very insane and that you change your views very
often... I donīt quite follow his statement, so could you shed some light upon
it?
- I changed my opinion on him when he turned everybody he knew to the police,
of course I change my view on people who turn out to be weak and cowardish police-informers!!!
If Iīm so God damned insane he should be more careful with what he is saying, I
wonīt be in jail forever......
Tell me something about the order of Dungeon of Darkness. Is it led by you
and Mr. Ray Williams?
- Ask Herr Williams himself! His address is: Blood-Axis, 5 Rue Gabriel Pierne,
57000 Metz, France. Heīs doing a zine for our movement called Filosofem which
costs 5 U.S.D. Good reading.
In Burning Ground # 2 you stated that you donīt drink or smoke (very wise
choice indeed), but in the end of the paragraph you wrote: "Hail Methylene
dioxy, floating in a dream of X.T.C". What on earth does this mean? Is
Methylene dioxy a narcotic drug of some kind?
- MDMA (Methylene Dioxy Methamphethamine) is LSD, acid, I support the use of
hard drugs as it kill people, the weak people. Death to weaklings, log live the
strong!!!
Reading many BURZUM interviews I have gathered that you donīt really like us
Finns.. In ancient Norwegian legends the lands of east (mainly Finland) are
described as the dwelling place of wizards, demons and giants. Is your negative
attitude based on this age old enmity or are there more reasons?
- I have nothing against you Finns except some idiots amongst you. The ancient
Norwegian legends speak of the East as the home of trolls. It is not Finland we
speak of here. The laps come from the Cola Peninsula, so I guess the legends
refer to them. Ugly little stupid beings. The legends also speaks refer to the
Huns which invaded Germania from the coast. Again ugly, little and stupid beings!!!
Hail all norsemen, fuck the rest!!!
As you are a son of Wotan, do you find Loki and the rest of the norse
"evil" gods negative in some way?
- All the Aesir and Vanir have their good and bad sides. Nobody is perfect!!!
Please name your favourite author of literature...
- F.W Nietzshe, A Hitler, Goethe, Snorre Sturlason and more authors worth
honouring. Fave literature is norse mytology.
