    It's crazy to hear Mortiis talk about spending unreasonable amounts of money on his Venom collection while I have also spent unreasonable amounts of money on my Mortiis collection! And I wouldn't doubt the Venom guys also have bands that they collect records of too. If you follow the chain of influence, it just goes on forever.

    "Ånden som gjorde opprør" was the first album from the scandinavian environment of black metal that I ever heard, I used to listen to it so much. Even my parents used to like it. When I sometimes still listen to it, it takes me back immediately to that feeling of deep fascination for the norwegian scene that I felt at that time. It's just like turning 25 years back in time all of a sudden. And it makes me think about how I used to fantasize about travelling to Norway, to see all the gloomy landscapes all those bands always talked about. It was 1994 or 1995. I finally made it in 1999, when I went to Oslo for 6 months as an exchange student. I used to go to a pub called Elm Street, where quite a few black metal musicians used to go very often. There I met Fenriz, Hellhammer, Astennu from Dimmu Borgir, some guy from Aura Noir. They were kind of weirded out when they were approached but this drunk Italian who could speak norwegian. :D While being there, I also found out that Norway is just another country, very charming, but with very ordinary and friendly people, and not the gloomy, demonic "vinterland" that all of them chant about. Well, winter over there can be quite harsh, but I did like it. After all, I'm a black metal fan, ain't I. :D

Also there was a anonymous letter from some musician who knew Varg very well in early days and met him often but never liked him circling around exposing him that what a jerk and and liar he is.

      Well, his BM adventure is limited to one demo and one split with Enslaved, and just writing credits in the first Emperor album.

    Its kind of funny. Because of his association with Cold Meat Industry he was kind of on the Dark Ambient scenes radar in the early 90s but not really? He didn't sort of fit but I did love his tune "The Devil Must Kill" on the CMI double CD compilation. Makes sense that he made more waves in the metal genre. Good to see he has not sold out even now.

    I’m surprised I didn’t see him pull out anything by White Zombie or Rob Zombie. I mean he praised the production of Robs first album and on his later stuff you can hear a few tracks with some heavy Zombie influence. Although I grew up listening to the same stuff as Mortiis I also listened to a ton of EBM/Industrial and I could say Mortiis Era II and Era III are very distinct and stand on their own.
