Out of pure spite we pretty much always said the opposite of what the other said, no matter what they said, only to mark distance. That's how we ended up calling ourselves Satanists, despite the fact that we absolutely were not. There was not a single Satanist in the whole Black Metal scene in Norway in 1991-92.

If I like the music then at least some others will too, and that is all that matters in this context.

My own growth is a part of a group evolution, definitely. It does feel as if the changes in the group are meant to be, and that I am not as much a catalyst, so to say, but rather a result of this.

Being sociable is a sacrifice, as I see it. I really don't like to be, but it is necessary and worth it.

If I had the money I'd pay people to have them read accurate books or posts about our own religion. It is very important not only for their self-image, but also for the future of Europe - as a biological term.

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

I grew up with classical music, and to a lesser extent electronic music, and that's where I belong, so to speak.
