Joining a sub-culture, any sub-culture, for whatever reason, is as I see it never a legitimate self-expression. It is always a result of sheep mentality; a wish to belong somewhere.

I don't make music for any other reason than me enjoying music, and I am also glad that I am able to make a living of this.

My musical ambitions are not that great. I make music I like, and thankfully - for my ability to make an (fairly...) honest living - at least some others like the music too.

Personally I don't understand why the metal press even bother, but I guess it is good they do.

I do feel we live through what I like to call The 2nd Renaissance, but although I foresee a widespread return to the European religion I don't foresee a return to the past. The world has changed, everything is different today, and so will Paganism be.

The metal press has a certain type of audience, and I think most of them support the magazines' negative focus on me.

To a large degree I don't even like most metal music I hear.
