No mention of the great DISSECTION?!? Jon Nodveit killed a guy, and killed himself in a satanic ritual not long after getting released from prison. That guy was really about satanism. Oh and they put out the best black Metal albums ever.

Yeah Lords of Chaos is a good story. But that’s all it is. Only about 10% of the movie is accurate. Varg was played by some fat guy, and they painted Euronymous to be a good guy bitch. The guy that was stabbed outside of the bar had nothing to do with Mayhem in the slightest. They Hollywood-ed a LOT of that movie. But like I said, it’s good if you know nothing about Trve or 2nd wave Black metal. Also I feel that Immortal should have been mentioned a bit more. After all, Abbath has literally become the face of black metal. Thank you gor listening to my TedTalk

There is strong link to Burzum and national socialism and so I can understand why it’s been left out – within black metal there was the occult angles of Euronymous that was some kind of extremist communist and then national socialist ideas that went on to influence people like breivik – there are dangerous racist ideas in this scene too that thankfully shot itself in the foot on time

This article is very interesting! I remember reading about these incidents in popular metal magazines back in the 90’s. On the tail end of the 80’s Glam movement and the newer grunge sound from Seattle Washington, the Black Metal Genre was very engaging and refreshing. Everything from the corpse paint, long black parted hair, unconventional song structure, and medieval weaponry was all so appealing to me. The only thing I didn’t really understand at the time was the Stave Church burnings in Norway. Here in the U.S. church burnings has a different connotation relating to terrorism during the Civil Rights Movement and some recent incidents in the south. Now years later, it’s clearer to me after some research what the intentions of the Black Metal Circle were. Emperor, Mayhem, Dimmu Borgir, and Immortal are still my favorite Black Metal acts. I also like Enslaved which started off as Black Metal music but morphed into Viking Metal to Prog Metal. Thanks for the article!!
