Varg Vikernes To Be Released...

A while back I posted a bit about Varg Vikernes being up for parole, in September to be specific, and as with most murderers/arsonists he was denied. But if this link is accurate Varg will be released any day now...

Convicted Murderer VARG VIKERNES To Be Released From Prison

(Jolly lookin fellow aint he?)

You'll remeber that Varg has been incarcerated for the 1993 murder of Mayhem guitarsit Oystein Aarseth aka Euronymous, as well as setting fire to 3 churches. "In September 2008, Vikernes's fourth application for parole was denied, but a couple of weeks ago he finally received the message he has been waiting for: after almost 16 years in prison, he will be released.

"I will have to report [to the parole officer] for one year — initially every two weeks, and then once a month," Vikernes told the Dagbladet newspaper."

Apparently in Norway the maximum sentence you can serve, no matter what the crime is 21 years. Interesting. Well hopefully the Count learned his lesson and will be keeping his hands to himself as well as providing us with some brooding tunes.
