Varg Vikernes - A Free Man


Varg Vikernes has in an interview with the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet confirmed that he has been released from prison.

He was released a couple a weeks ago after 16 years in prison, and is now living at a small farm in Telemark with his French wife and 18 months old son as planned when he was granted parole (see here).

Good. So I'm not the only one. 16 years still seems like a short sentence for the things hes done...relatively speaking.

...lol, his son was conceived on a conjugal visit.

What good news? Why do people even care? He's not someone to idolize, and I'm thinking he's not gonna do much of any interest in the future anyway.

The only good thing he could possibly do in this day and age is more Burzum, and I'm quite sceptical as to what the end result of that would be.

He's not gonna revive the black metal scene or something. Get the fuck over it.

I think that's what will happen, indeed. And I believe it's the wisest thing to do in his case.

It will be good if he stay out of the public eye [as BitterCOld said]. That's the best thing, to stay with his wife and son.

I hope that he has learned something form this.

Well that's not for you to decide. When the man himself says he's married my guess would be that he is

It's funny that so many people wait for some sort of a magical album coming from Varg. An album that would end albums, so to say. Like he's a messiah or something... IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Burzum's last albums were crap, anyway.

I personally have nothing against the guy and wish him all the best.

I don't think he ever said he's married. I think that is something the media has made up. Varg says on his website that he is unmarried.

Black metal scene does not need reviving. It is very much alive. There are a lot of promising Ukrainian BM bands.
And yes, if his release means that there's a slight possibility he might continue with Burzum, I'm happy with that.

well he's had 16 years to write the damn thing, his pretty lazy if he doesn't lol.

i agree, if he carries on with burzum, it'll sound shit. If he makes a new alum, it'll sound shit. If he fucks off and lives quietly, it can't sound shit 'cus theres nothing to hear!

Im hoping for the last one.

Why do people think he would make metal again? Varg has said he will never make metal because the guitar is a "nigger" instrument. And actually his last couple of albums were majorly crap anyway and even his so-called good albums are average at best and totally overrated.
