just want to say that I sent a mail to the one and only Nocturno Culto, asking him what the fuck is going on on the Black Metal scene in Norway. I didn't expect an answer, but he indeed answered my question and answered.. funny...
my mail:
what do you think about the new and more open black metal scene in Norway today? I can't fucking stand it; watching what is so close to my heart being ripped apart by the mainstream and pop-culture! Someone should put a stop to this nonsense! Black Metal is not to be side by side with lame pop-artists (Eminem, Britney Spears etc.) on the billboard charts. Well it hasn't really comed to that day yet, but sooner or later it will! Some bands say that Black Metal should be out there, in the mainstream, exposed to the rest of the world... should it? I'm interested in knowing what you, the pioneers of true norwegian black metal, feel... Well, keep up with the old-school,
fill your music with the mystical atmosphere of the norwegian forest and the cold grimness of winter! LA TAAKEFERDENE KOMME!

the answer:
I must say that I don't understand the needs for exposing so vast that a few
bands has. In my opinion, black metal is the fiend to the glamourous
christian society. I support the theory "less is more".
