Well, they're not that neutral. In an interview from Metalhead: A Headbangers Journey Grutle states that he fully supported church burnings back in the early '90s.
@zaczes999 Thats what he said word for word? "I support the church burnings"? Or did he make reference to the fact that he didn't care either way but seeing as the christians forced themselves into the country it seems that what goes around comes around?
Well, Grutle said something about heathen burial ground being desecrated by late christians, so for him it was ok to do the same for churches with historical meaning.
@InSuchSkull Yeah it was something along the lines that historically, Christianity had it coming. Type "Norse Mythology & Black Metal" here on Youtube and you will be able to see the clip from "Headbanger's Journey."
Ah, pseudo-intellectual dogmatic atheists who present assumptions denouncing assumptions as facts. You're no better than a religious person who blindly assumes.
All of these people assume they know if there is a god or not, and you assume you know what God is or what he may want... You dont know shit about God, all you have is your own faith (beliefs), and others may not have the same view as you, that gives you no place to hate them because they only know as much as you. You are no better than those you accuse... thus making you a hypocrite.... So shut up assholes and listen to the fucking music
why on earth is there an argument about christianity. Enslaved is one of the only bands that don't have religious content in their lyrics. the don't sing about burning christians or slaying jews, they are a neutral band. so stfu and take your fights to a forum not a video! thanks for your patience
i agree with you completely enslaved is a band thats lyrics associate with nature, vikings, norse mythology, etc. if you want to hear some shit about fuck god christ ect. listen to deicide cryptopsy gorgoroth the berzerker you get my point...rock on enslaved you guys are sick
Dude, watch "Headbangers Journey". Maybe it's not the best movie out there, but contains Grutle's statement I'm talking about. So, while their lyrics are more metaphysical etc, they have a strong bond to their viking ancestors...or smth xD
They do not use such topics in their lyrics, that's true. However, check out the interview from "A Headbanger's Journey" - both Grutle and Ivar say that they have pretty anti-christian beliefs.
fuck christ,fuck god,fuck those uptight prissy religious bastards that say satan and metal are the cause of the internal destruction of our society they can burn in hell with the rest of us we are all sinners NO ONE IS PURE!!!
God is a cruel bastard who cares for us as much as a sadistic kid cares about the ants he burns for amusement. Christ came to liberate us from that tyrannt above and taught us to rebel against god. Read the Gospel of saint Judas or Thomas if you don;t believe me. That being said, Enslaved rules! \m/

god is freedom? If I remember correctly the entire old testement is god saying to the people under him 'Do what I say or I'll burn you off the face of the earth' Follow what religous old virgins in dresses tell you or be tortured forever. Some freedom.
Hitler was also known as FREEDOM to the desperate people in the depression. Hitler, like god, gave them hope. Hitler attempted to eliminate JEWS. Like christians try to eliminate Pagans by burning our temples and holy ground. Also like Hitler, Christianity is based around death, punishment and reward. Die a sinner and suffer for eternity (kill jews). Die in favor of Jesus and live in bliss for eternity (not be poor in depression). So there you have it. I don't care for nazi or christian beliefs.

hitler was a human ...dont vompare hm to the divne or maybe you cant differentiate the two and hitler was a nihilist ...he didnt believe in the christian god and he was punished thats life buddy punishment and reward but go ahead and continue on the path of the weak the ones ......the ones that blame god....he offers love and love is a hard road to walk my friend a lot harder than the road of hatred
Your saying I am weak for not following the christ god. Hitler would call me weak if i was a jew. You don't see the connection I've made? I didn't blame your "supreme" god for the evil in this world. you obviously didn't thoroughly read my comment. What you've done is add a generic comment spreading propaganda for jesus. Also i don't understand if god is all forgiving, why does he make people suffer after death? i mean, he does LOVE everyone right? Blah Blah Blah.
Religion aside, you are nothing. You are just a mindless puppet used for the representation and glorification of christ and nothing more. You are NOT metal.
You do realize that the Christian bible was edited by a group of Roman "Pagans"? Also read a biography of Hitler, he was raised a Christian and held Christian beliefs. Also a loving "god" would not condone nor encourage mass genocide, read any part of the bible regarding the rise of Jerusalem and that is all that your "loving god" did.
Now THIS is Norwegian black metal!! But i do like the evil shit, but i do not agree with the satanic hate message thy love. Viking roots is they hairetage not satan!!
Christians destroyed their roots, Satan is the natural Christian adversary. They don't embrace that side because its their roots, they embrace it because their vindictive.

I've said this before,somewhere..But the truth (fact) about god,heaven or hell, organized religion,etc.. It's shit.
God is consciousness. Something we all have as humans.
THUS,we are *ALL* god. Because we are. Yah-we?
Rules never prevented anybody from doing anything,thus it's foolish.
The purest form of God on earth,is in it's children,who in return is traumatized and brainwashed in society's sickly embrace.
There is no law. There is no death. There is only continuation and the unknowing.
