I increasingly find extremities quite dull, if that's all they are. That whole association of extremes with some kind of 'truth' when in fact the 'truth' is usually a lot greyer, more subtle, and as such FAR more interesting.
I find Burzum interesting in this respect because while the music is this quite bombastic Wagnerian stomp, Varg's vocals have this weak, wounded, defeated, almost pathetic sense to them. The genius is found somewhere in the grey area of that conflict/contradiction.
