Burzum's Varg Vikernes Publishes Letter From Euronymous' Friend

Burzum's Varg Vikernes has issued the following update:

In 2005 I published an article called "Euronymous" (in "A Burzum Story"). I did this in an attempt to stop all the lies and false rumours put out by journalists, reporters, my enemies, my "friends" (!) and indeed even by the legal system in Norway. I heard dozens of different theories regarding the "true" reason why I ended up killing Aarseth, and they were all nonsense.

In early 2006 the department of justice was supposed to consider my application for a release, and "by chance" the press in Norway, at the exact same time, decided to write about this "Euronymous" article, and told their readers that I was "bragging" about the killing. They also interviewed the prosecutor in my case, who according to them said that my story was "new", "different" from my 1994-story and "not correct".

They seem to forget about the fact that I described the killing of Aarseth in "Vargsmål" too, a book I wrote in 1994 and published in 1997. All those who have read both this (poor) book and my article about "Euronymous" will know that my story has been the same all the time, and I think the prosecutor must have mistaken his 1994-theory for the truth. Well, I'm sorry to say so, dear prosecutor, but Your theory was nonsense.

My story is the truth, but of course I can say that a million times and it won't change anything. So I have decided to instead publish a letter I received from a former friend of Aarseth, after he read my article. For now he insists on being anonymous, because he fears media-prosecution, so I have blacked out his band's name, a date and his signature.
