The problem with so-called Black Metal is that it is clouded with blatant lies, and so many of these lies don’t even make any sense. So it is hard to understand what Black Metal was, what it was supposed to be and why it turned out the way it did. Most of the veteran people in the scene are either dead, ignorant, permanent drunk and/or retarded, so getting any sensible information out of them is very hard.
Black Metal personified? Or maybe not…
I was there and I know what happened, and why it happened. Most of those who think about it understand that, and I am neither retarded nor permanent drunk, nor dead (yet..), so hardly a week passes by without some journalist, student, film maker or writer sending me an e-mail and requesting my participation in this or that project regarding Black Metal. As you might have understood, judging from just how rarely you see me talking about this anywhere, I turn their offers down. I am sick and tired of this subject and would like it to go away. Forever.
At the same time I guess I should speak about this more than I do, to shed some light on it, and banish the darkness that surrounds this subject. Rather than speak with some person who doesn’t have a clue, and who just want their name in the paper or on some book or DVD cover, and who in the process twists everything even more and gives birth to a dozen more lies and misconceptions, I will speak about this myself – and I do on YouTube.
My movie maker skills are limited, and my oratory skills too, so bear with me, but we can assume (or at least hope) that I will learn as I go.
Join me into a World of Darkness, of recklessness and black humour. Enjoy...
