In an interview from August 2005, Guitarist Ritual Butcherer had this to say about Satanism and Black Metal: "I have always felt that composing music is strongly related to your ideology as well as whom you really are deep inside and to me black metal means BLACK metal. I could not think of composing any kind of different music than raw black metal. Firstly comes the philosophy and after that the music. Black metal is more philosophy and ideology orientated music than any other kind of music and my whole reason of existence is based upon Satanism and Occult, as is also my music. Music was the way that led me to my path, because when I was a young kid I read the lyrics of Venom and Hell Hammer and wanted to know the deeper meaning of the things they sang about. And on that same path I today walk%u2026"

According to the lead singer," Nocturnal Grave Desecrator and Black Winds" [that is his band name!] " A lot of bands call their music Black Metal, but they sing about paganism, mythic and so on.

Beherit- the very name means "Satan" in Syriac. They are a wicked black metal band from Finland. Formed in 1989, their music embodies what the lead singer calls, "...the most primitive, savage, hell-obsessed black metal imaginable." Band members, Holocausto, Black Jesus and Sodomatic Slaughter are known for their ambient style, their raw metal sound, deathcore and black metal. They are also known to have live shows which include pig heads and goat heads upon their stage. In they released three demons, Seventh Blasphemy, Morbid Rehearsals, and Demonomancy. Beherit's first full length album, released in 1991
was titled "The Oath of Black Blood".

The Lead singer denies any claims that their band is Satanic, and they disassociate with the Death Metal scene, stating instead that they are true Black Metal."Satanism, well... there are a lot of bands about who think they're terribly Satanic because they play Death Metal and love using inverted crosses. We use some Satanic symbols, but only because they are evil. We're a Black Metal band, our music is dark and evil. When I'm on stage or when we're surrounded by nature miles from anywhere it's like a journey hundreds of years back in time, when people still had to fight to survive. That's how I live today... There are many people who attack us for what we do, but that only makes us stronger."

Burzum- They are one of the most infamous bands of the black metal scene. Burzum was created by Varg Vikernes, in 1991 in Bergen, Norway. In 1993, Burzum became famous for something more than their dark music style. The lead singer, Varg was convicted and imprisioned for the murder of his bandmate and guitarist Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth. Varg was also convicted and tried for the arson of churches in Norway. Not wanting to be held back by this Varg also recorded two albums while he was imprisioned: Dauði baldrs (1997) and Hliðskjálf (1999). During a prision release in 2003, which was supposed to last for a week, Varg was found with a stolen Volvo, handgunds, maps, a fake pasport, a GPS sytem, and several large knives.

The music of Burzum often involves mythc, pagan and anti-christian themes. the lead singer had this to say about the pagan influence on his music: "Witchcraft is all about Paganism. The word "witch" itself derives from the celt culture, and is, as far as I know, simply a title for a type of healer/magician. Later it has become a very negative word, and has been associated with "Satanism" and the likes, probably because the celts worship the Horned God (Pan), a male symbol for certain forces in nature (the celt Horned God and the greek Pan are, by the way, the same as our Vidarr). Witchcraft is white magic, but of course everything natural, healthy and sane is "satanic" in the eyes of the judeo-christians."
