    You’ve got it all wrong, those bands just love traditional Slavic symbols

    Varg is the ur-black metal nazi though. Though I guess at least the murder he committed wasn’t a hate crime but some dumb beef with another nerd

      I’ve mentioned it before but Varg is such a dumbass he got his wife to film himself trying to swim across a river while wearing a chain mail hauberk and he almost drowned. He is a clown man without the makeup.

      Funny thing about that Aarseth guy he murdered, he called himself a communist because he believed all the western propaganda about how evil commies are lol, there’s pics of him from either his apartment or his office with portraits of Mao and (iirc) Tito on the wall

        Yeah, he thought Communism’s bigger bodycount* made it way more evil than the Nazis and thus cooler michael-laugh

        I also seem to remember reading he said something similarly bizarre about gay sex

          I clearly remember he once said that he only did anal with his girlfriend because vaginal intercourse was symbolic of the creation of life lmao

          Edit: A lot of the quotes from these guys back then was just them trolling the media though. Some dipshit “journalist” from a tabloid shows up at your door and asks you if it’s true that you sleep in a used coffin or whatever, you go “sure, why not”
