Haha, well it's fair to say you'll hear Burzum influence with any music involving Satan to emerge within the last 20 years...
That's even farther removed, potentially. Any music involving "satan" owes influence to Varg Vikernes, you said, really? Come now. Aware of his presence, well, most will be, but it doesn't make it an influence.
Absolutely. Although I should have narrowed the label to "atmosphere-heavy black metal", as most people wouldn't immediately recognize the contextual main force and message behind a band such as Christicide. As your quote relates, Varg does not stand behind the modern wave of black metal, doesn't mean we can't site him as a proto-influence to this type of music (again, not all black metal..
HIS type!).
Any black metal band that adorns a baphomet in their log or album over owes a little, however small, homage to something like Venom or Bathory; as does any black metal band with a song over 7 minutes and involves a long, drony, 2 chord melody owes a little nod to Burzum.
You're right many of them did, for the most part they were daft little boys trying to kid on they were evil. They weren't all trying to get books about their stance on blood pollution and the Aryan Front published in their 30's though. The new record, the one with this press release?
"As you might already know, my dear ladies and gentlemen, and others individuals too, I am no friend of the modern so-called black metal culture. It is a tasteless, low-brow parody of Norwegian so-called black metal anno 1991-1992, and if it was up to me, it would meet its dishonourable end as soon as possible. However, rather than abandon my own music, only because others have soiled its name by claiming to have something in common with it, I will stick to it. The 'black metallers' will probably continue to 'get loaded,' 'get high,' and in all other manners too behave like the stereotypical Negro; they will probably continue to get foreign tribal tattoos, dress, walk, talk, look and act like homosexuals, and so forth.
Hmmm... is this suppose to convince me that he's a Nazi? Cuz, i'm not sure throwing the word 'Negro' around constitutes anything more than it's intended context, saying he thought modern black-metallers were full of shite party fag frat dudes... Sounds like fairly typical cynicism to me; if you're lookin for "PC" thoughts to come out of any strong-voiced, opinionated black metal band, then you're feelings are gonna get hurt pretty damn bad!!! If any central theme is shared between all those associated with this music, it's alienation, which he summarizes here pretty well.
As to not completely saturate this thread i'd please ask that you continue this debate in PM, as it seems we've gone way off topic. Although Primordial might just have a slight bit of Burzum influence (just a nibble, snack-size, maybe....hahah.)
