"And what comes to Christian Vikernes' ideology, the guy simply is a moran."
He's the closest thing to a genious in metal, and along with Mayhem, Immortal and Darkthrone most embodies the spirit of black metal philosophy (and is the most copied). But I guess any talk of pride in your race is a sin for most Americans now so you don't offend your black neighbours. I'm confused as to how you can like cold/dark black metal and fail to appreciate Burzum more than having a few OK albums. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is the most meloncholy black metal album I have ever heard and in short, a masterpiece of classical scale. His two synth albums divide opinion a lot of the time but I enjoy Hlidskjalf, Daudi Baldrs just sounds too much like it was written on a SNES for me to enjoy.

There are some very intelligent metal musicians, but after reading/watching a few Vikernes interviews I'm confirmed that he's not one of them.
He has obviously read a lot, but reading and quoting stuff doesn't make you intelligent. If you quote nonsense you might even look stupid.
His "ideology" has went from tolkien to satan to paganaziwhatever.
I don't mind if someone moves forward, but to me Vikernes is just a confused kid who wants to be different and rebel against something.
What comes to his music, he doesn't have enough talent to write or play a masterpiece. Burzum is far behind the real masters like Darkthrone.
And I'm not American or politically correct. I don't think being proud of your race is a sin as I don't believe in the concept of sin.
I just think being proud of your skin/eye/hair/whatever color and supporting inbreeding is stupid.
