Interview With Burzum

Fritt Forum / Norsk Blad Zine 97

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------The following interview was translated from the Norwegian Nationalist magazine "Fritt
Forum / Norsk Blad" (or FF/NB) by Vidar Ermesj.
ILA(FF/NB): He is convicted for murder and church arsons. He is 24 years old and will do
time for ca. 10 more years. We met him at Ila national prison. The Odinist and National
Socialist, Varg Vikernes, is probably one of the most talked about men in Norwegian history.
He has managed to become a respectable musician and book author. The book he has written
is entitled "Vargsm?l". Musically he is most known through Burzum, which is sold over the
the whole world.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Varg Vikernes, when was your band, Burzum, started?
"Burzum was started on a serious level in 1991 (A.Y.P.S), but at that time I had already for
four years been working with the same thing, as a side project under the name URUK-HAI.
This name basically means something like "Race with creative thoughts", while Burzum
means "darkness" or "light" all depending on the viewer. Both words are borrowed from a
fictional language based on old Norse, constructed by J.R.R. Tolkien."
How would you characterize your music and lyrics?
"The music on the five first albums are quite varied. Some aggressive, some dozing, some
depressive, etc. The music on the sixth album, Burzum "Balders Dod", is totally different
from the others, like some "new-classical" way. It is a musical interpretation of the myth
about Balder's death, with classical instruments. About the lyrics, I can say they are right
through anti-Christian, pro-Germanic and bitter?", Vikernes answers in a questionable way.
Say that Burzum is Black Metal. How do you react to this?
"People may believe what they want. The new Burzum is not "metal" at all, and I will newer
create any "metal" in the future either, so I give a good Fuck in what people may believe
about the old Burzum. If they walk around calling Burzum Black Metal they might as well
call the Sun for the Moon. There will always be people who don't know what they are talking
about. Ignore them - simply."

- NOT A SATANIST Are you a Satanist, Vikernes?

"No, and I have newer been a Satanist either. I have on the other hand used the term in the
meaning "opponent to all Jewish religions" - I might name Christendom - in a short period in
-92. I quickly stopped using it when I found out that no one else interpreted the term in that
way. I'm on the other hand an opponent of Satanism, just as I am a opponent to all other
variants of Judo-Christian antireligions."
"Christendom - Satanism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism etc. - are all foreign religions, which
have nothing to do with our race at all! We always have been, and will always be Odin's race",
Varg Vikernes answers, and ends with "Heil Odin" to put a line under his spiritual belonging.
Varg Vikernes became as know a celebrity after he was arrested and later convicted for
murder and church arsons in the beginning of 1990, something that led to a violent mediainterest in the "Satanism" - society in Norway. In foreign countries, Vikernes has become a
cult-person to many thousand followers.
His records are being sold in the biggest record shops all over the world, and he has just
released his newest record named "Balders Dd". In April this year, a handful of radical
nationalists where arrested by the surveillance police. They where accused for having planed
an armed burstout of Vikernes.
- 150 KG DYNAMITE AGAINST BLITZ During your trial you were accused of planing to blow up Nidarosdomen, Is this true?
(Nidarosdomen is a big cathedral in Norway)
"It is true that my accuser said so, but this was not the case. That I and some of my friends had planed to blow u Nidarosdomen is a lie. It was also stated that the 150 kilos of dynamite
was to be used to blow up the Blitz house and Stortinget (the Norwegian parliament building,
found here www.stortinget.no), but this probably did not interest the Jewish press, because if
people would have known, then I probably would have become directly popular , said
Vikernes while smiling. Neither their politicians nor their offspring - the Blitzrubish - are
widely popular to the folk, you know.."
What thoughts do you make of today's politics in Norway?
"The only outcome of today's politics in Norway is the destruction of our folk and race, we
are drowning in what I call genetical garbage. In the Judo-Christian Norway today they
worship everything that is sick, weak, cowardice, ugly, non-fertile, foreign and destroyed.
Useless human beings are kept alive at every cost - all in the "humanists" or the Jewish
"Gods" name. There is also shown a disrespectful way against Mother Nature, which basically
is being raped by capitalists."
"It's like a thousand years of Judeo-Christianity has broken our races will for survival. There
looks like the spark of life has disappeared, exhausted by the dream of a "Heaven". I can not

see any other reason to this, that our race is committing collective suicide through a Jewish
dictator", states an engaged Varg Vikernes to FF/NB. He continues
"My total loss of respect for everyone who agrees with this kind of politics, and who therefore
contributes to the destruction of Odin's holy race, Jarls ?tt. A folk who does not resist against
the ones who is trying to destroy it, does not deserve to live."
Have your political position made your stay in jail heavier than if you for example had
you been a communist or antiracist?
"It depends on what you mean with "a heavier stay". My meanings and ways makes me
capable of carrying any burden of any weight on my shoulders, and therefor the effect of my
extra burdens that I carry will disappear because of my beliefs. There is no instrument of
might in this sickening, weak "democracy" we live in, that is capable of changing "a
Norwegian soul in a Norwegian body" in any negative way. Whatever they might do, we can
smile and say: "Gelobt Sei, Was Hart Macht" (promised be, what makes me hard(er))."
- HAS WRITTEN THE BOOK "VARGSML" You have written a book named Vargsmal. What is it about?
It is about Norwegians, Norwegian culture and Norway. But it is also a defense statement for
me.The Book is meant to enlighten people, make them more enlightened about their history
and race, and make them more enlightened about what is happening to our "civilization".
Some last words to our readers and to the nationalists of today's people?
"Heil!" We thank Varg Vikernes for the interview.
