I agree that the music is separated from the makers. Just thought I'd add some interesting facts about the band. It was such a big thing back then in Norway -- however, I didn't really take an interest as I thought the whole culture was kinda ridiculous. There is a strange sort of apathy in many Norwegians, so I can see how things like these can just get out of control very easily. The small-town syndrome; I grew up with it. People offing themselves like flies in a highly oppressive religious context. So much alienation, hypocrisy and resulting stupidity. I never wish to go back there.
I have friends in that music scene from back home, yes. So I like some of their stuff. Check out Borknagar and Arcturus, if you aren't already familiar with them. Although, the recordings are generally poor, which is a shame. Arcturus is more avant-garde, so perhaps a little bit out there for many.
