Good for him on being released. I don't care whether or not he releases a new album. He can do whatever he wants. He's a free man.
He's served his time I guess... but he did brutally murder a relatively innocent person, and people don't just stop thinking like that. He has some serious mental problems, as evidenced by his involvement with the neo-nazi groups, church burnings, and you know... the brutal murder and what not.
Bet he's back in within 5 years for something or another.
Yeah, all he wants to do is sit on his farm with his wife and write music and books. His appearance, actions and statements recently all reflect this.He said he just wants to live on his farm and be with mother Earth and be away from this "hell on Earth"
So did Bard Faust and Jon Nödtveidt, and they had less defensible reasons for doing so, yet people hardly mention either of them compared to Varg. They also served less time, yet there was more controversy over Varg's sentence than either of those. Norway's legal system would have had Varg out in a few years anyway, so this isn't really a big deal and there's no reason to punish him for crimes that he hasn't committed yet when there's no real indication that he'll commit them at all.
For someone who constantly berates people for taking their posts seriously, you sure don't know how to judge when someone's serious; either that, or you like to reply unnecessarily to obviously joking posts.
But I agree with you, obviously.
The fact that he hasn't associated himself with his old political beliefs and white supremacist groups for years reflects that he is no longer interested in those things. He's shown a lot more interest in being with his family and children and minding his own business, and has made these things the focal point of every one of his leaves from prison for the last few years. I think that the skeptical people will be eating their own words later on when they discover how much of a normal person he really is.
He was an impressionable teenager who was part of a culture of group mentality and was spurred on by the attention that he received.
Varg should be happy he didn't murder anyone in America, or I think he would've been executed by now. It's interesting how vastly different the Norwegian justice system than the American one, but Europe is generally ahead of America in terms of social devlopment so maybe its for the better.
