“There have been a number of books coming out lately about the years 92-93, like for example ‘The Lords of Chaos’ - is there basically any truth in these books?
Samoth: Well I mean, ‘The Lords of Chaos’, there is some truth in it of course, but I think that book emphasizes a lot on (the) right-wing side of the whole thing - there is a lot of V.V in there and also the author [Michael Moynihan], he is very interested in the political thing. I think he made the black metal thing look much more political then it ever was. Yeah, I can understand that to the outside world, it nearly sounds like mythology, of course - for a young teenager who gets this book it's like: "Wow, this is amazing..", but to me it's like no big deal. I don't think that much about it. People expect me to wake up in the morning and think about this stuff all the time, but I mean it happened many, many years ago...”
