I did see a interesting Varg interview on Blabbermouth. I gained alot of respect for the guy after reading it. Apparently he says he is through with black metal, and his last albums were meant to be electronic albums, not black metal albums. He tore apart the whole scandinavian black metal scene as well. So perhaps through many hours of self reflection he has come to the understanding that yes he presented himself as a ridiculous image, and black metal in general has become a parody of itself.
Oh and after reading about the prison system in Norway, jesus, many people in america dont live that good. He has fucking cable tv in his room. As well as his musical instruments. And they dont mingle with other prisoners. Damn, havent they seen Oz over there?
