An infamous figure in the black metal scene
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes
He’s a gigantic neo-pagan nazi weirdo with absurdly baffling beliefs even for a nazi, initially got famous for church arson and murdering another black metal musician in the 90s
Good thing black metal isn’t known for having many Nazis besides that guy
You’ve got it all wrong, those bands just love traditional Slavic symbols
Varg is the ur-black metal nazi though. Though I guess at least the murder he committed wasn’t a hate crime but some dumb beef with another nerd
It’s the most infuriating thing about the genre. It’s one of the only genres of music that helps my mental health because the anger and fierce riffs calm me down and then I find out one of the band members is a nazi. And suddenly I’m right back to being mad and uncomfortable.
black metal, black sun, basically putting “black” in a name is a good way to make white supremacists latch onto it
And he tried to publish a racist Viking tabletop role playing game. It sucks.
According to another commenter he’s still shilling it to this day on this Twitter account
