That is true, but the majority of people lump the two together.

bear in mind norway is a country with a strong viking heritage. in 800 AD olaf Trygvasson, introduced christianity to norway,and many people converted. samoths motive (who who was involved in the burning of skjold church in Rogaland, with count Grishnakh) was in fact to remind people of their VIKING roots. nothing satanic there. the norweigians are a proud bunch ye know...:D

Just because someone burns a church doesn't mean they're satantic. They could be a disgruntled atheist or agnostic. 1

Another thing: Emperor's lyrics seem, to me, just as Pagan as Satanic.

Lots of people hate the shitty production in black metal...but I like it here, it suits the darkness of the song well. It sounds almost like a crack opened up in the earth and someone recorded the sounds coming out of hell. Creepy.

Judging by this song alone, there is nothing Pagan or Satanic.

One important thing you should consider, when talking about Black Metal and Satanism, is that Satanism does not necessarily meankilling chicken and raping virgins. Positve satanism is just a way to say that everyone should be his own master and not the follower of some self proclaimed greater authority like the church, telling the people how to live their lives. Thus satanism is a way of rejecting chsitianity which was brought upon the people (by force in many cases) 1000 years ago and reminding people of their pagan roots, as someone already pointed out. The fact that Bard Eithun killed a homosexual might not be so much connected to his "satanistic" views but more to his national socialistic tendencies which were also introduced in the scene (much to my dismay) by stupid morons like aforementioned Count Grishnak aka Varg Vikernes. Considering that the man was not only homosexual but also an immigrant (iirc), it bevomes clear that this murder had nothing to do with Satanism. Oh, and the song? I love it, the whole album is brilliant. The lyrics are great and Ihsahns screams are hauting. A masterpiece of Black Metal.

Emperor's music is semi-Satanic (points to Inno a Satana), but not as extremely Satanic as say, Mayhem or Gorgoroth. Their later albums mostly drop the Satanic elements.

satanism and church burning do not go hand in hand. you can burn churches just because you hate christianity and its oppression too ya know.

I think Tchort also burned something; I know he was arrested for some crime. That and you have Faust's "indescretion" in turning down a guy's advances.

"it just smashes the whole satanic cock rock stereotypical image thats stuck with black metal " And that statement just falls apart when you consider Emperor's church burnings etc.
