by Vidar Ermesjø.
IN
THE CELL WITH VARG VIKERNES
From FF/NB NO. 7-8 / 1997
ILA(FF/NB): He is convicted for murder and church arsons. He is 24 years old
and will do time for ca. 10 more years. We met him at Ila national prison. The
Odinist and National Socialist, Varg Vikernes, is probably one of the most
talked about men in Norwegian history. He has managed to become a respectable
musician and book author. The book he has written is entitled "Vargsmål".
Musically he is most known through Burzum, which is sold over the the whole
world.
FF: Varg Vikernes, when was your band, Burzum, started?
-"Burzum was started on a serious level in 1991 (A.Y.P.S), but at that
time I had already for four years been working with the same thing, as a side
project under the name URUK-HAI. This name basically means something like
"Race with creative thoughts", while Burzum means
"darkness" or "light" all depending on the viewer. Both words
are borrowed from a fictional language based on old Norse, constructed by
J.R.R. Tolkien."
FF: How would you characterize your music and lyrics?
-"The music on the five first albums are quite varied. Some aggressive,
some dozing, some depressive, etc. The music on the sixth album, Burzum
"Balders Død", is totally different from the others, like some
"new-classical" way. It is a musical interpretation of the myth about
Balder's death, with classical instruments. About the lyrics, I can say they
are right through anti-Christian, pro-Germanic and bitter?", Vikernes
answers in a questionable way.
FF: Many say that Burzum is Black Metal. How do you react to this?
-"People may believe what they want. The new Burzum is not
"metal" at all, and I will newer create any "metal" in the
future either, so I give a good Fuck in what people may believe about the old
Burzum. If they walk around calling Burzum Black Metal they might as well call
the Sun for the Moon. There will always be people who don't know what they are
talking about. Ignore them - simply."
- NOT A SATANIST -
FF: Are you a Satanist, Vikernes?
-"No, and I have newer been a Satanist either. I have on the other hand
used the term in the meaning "opponent to all Jewish religions" - I
might name Christendom - in a short period in -92. I quickly stopped using it
when I found out that no one else interpreted the term in that way. I'm on the
other hand an opponent of Satanism, just as I am a opponent to all other
variants of Judo-Christian antireligions."
"Christendom - Satanism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism etc. - are all foreign
religions, which have nothing to do with our race at all! We always have been,
and will always be Odin's race", Varg Vikernes answers, and ends with
"Heil Odin" to put a line under his spiritual belonging.
Varg Vikernes became as know a celebrity after he was arrested and later
convicted for murder and church arsons in the beginning of 1990, something that
led to a violent media-interest in the "Satanism" - society in
Norway. In foreign countries, Vikernes has become a cult-person to many
thousand followers.
His records are being sold in the biggest record shops all over the world, and
he has just released his newest record named "Balders Død". In April
this year, a handful of radical nationalists where arrested by the surveillance
police. They where accused for having planed an armed burstout of Vikernes.
- 150 KG DYNAMITE AGAINST BLITZ
FF: During your trial you were accused of planing to blow up Nidarosdomen, Is
this true? (Nidarosdomen is a big cathedral in Norway)
- "It is true that my accuser said so, but this was not the case. That I
and some of my
friends - had planed to blow u Nidarosdomen is a lie. It was also stated that
the 150 kilos of dynamite was to be used to blow up the Blitz house and
Stortinget (the Norwegian parliament building, found here www.stortinget.no),
but this probably did not interest the Jewish press, because if people would
have known, then I probably would have become directly popular , said Vikernes
while smiling. Neither their politicians nor their offspring - the Blitzrubish
- are widely popular to the folk, you know.."
FF: What thoughts do you make of today's politics in Norway?
-"The only outcome of today's politics in Norway is the destruction of our
folk and race, we are drowning in what I call genetical garbage. In the
Judo-Christian Norway today they worship everything that is sick, weak,
cowardice, ugly, non-fertile, foreign and destroyed.
Useless human beings are kept alive at every cost - all in the
"humanists" or the Jewish
"Gods" name. There is also shown a disrespectful way against Mother
Nature, which basically is being raped by capitalists."
"It's like a thousand years of Judeo-Christianity has broken our races
will for survival.
There looks like the spark of life has disappeared, exhausted by the dream of a
"Heaven".
I can not see any other reason to this, that our race is committing collective
suicide
through a Jewish dictator", states an engaged Varg Vikernes to FF/NB. He
continues
"My total loss of respect for everyone who agrees with this kind of
politics, and who therefore contributes to the destruction of Odin's holy race,
Jarls ætt. A folk who does not resist against the ones who is trying to destroy
it, does not deserve to live."
FF: Have your political position made your stay in jail heavier than if you for
example had you been a communist or antiracist?
-"It depends on what you mean with "a heavier stay". My meanings
and ways makes me capable of carrying any burden of any weight on my shoulders,
and therefor the effect of my extra burdens that I carry will disappear because
of my beliefs. There is no instrument of might in this sickening, weak
"democracy" we live in, that is capable of changing "a Norwegian
soul in a Norwegian body" in any negative way. Whatever they might do, we
can smile and say: "Gelobt Sei, Was Hart Macht" (promised be, what
makes me hard(er))."
- HAS WRITTEN THE BOOK "VARGSMÅL" -
FF: You have written a book named Vargsmål. What is it about?
-It is about Norwegians, Norwegian culture and Norway. But it is also a defense
statement for me.The Book is meant to enlighten people, make them more
enlightened about their history and race, and make them more enlightened about
what is happening to our "civilization".
FF: Some last words to our readers and to the nationalists of today's people?
-"Heil!" We thank Varg Vikernes for the interview.
