faust murdered a gay man because he kept making pases at him, so did someone from dissection (jon?). Mortiis wrote the lyrics before he was kicked out of the band.

I'm not even going to try to explain this one. I believe it's simply an evil fairy tale about an all powerful sorcerer who controls evil wizards who live in the mountains. Note of interest: My band does a decent cover of this song. If anyone wants to hear it, the MP3 is located at http://www.purestmetal.com/blackwizvocals.mp3

The reason why the churches were burned was, in my opinion any rate, retribution against Christianity. If you look at how Christendom finally enternched itself in Scandinavian culture it wasn't pretty. They did everything they could to avert a beautiful culture from it's roots. In the end they could never fully succeed so they adopted some of the pagan customs. They built churches over Nordic holy sites. In fact Fantoft church, one of the churches that was burned is over ancient holy ground. Also if you look at how the Catholics "cross" themselves that's actually a variation of an old Norse prayer.

i think its interesting to know that they were all about 18 years old when this album was recorded. amazing, considering its one of the best, if not the best black metal album ever recorded.
