So in this series of nicely shot videos, Vice goes looking for the lead singer of a Norwegian Black Metal band, a guy named Gaahl who supposedly tortured someone 15 years ago. The Vice guys proceed to scare the daylights out of themselves, like a bunch of school girls at a slumber party, cuddling underneath a sheet. But watch, and by the fourth and fifth episodes, the Big Bad Boogie Man seems like a libertarian without any friends—which is really what Satanism boils down to, once you strip away all the makeup and angst. (By in large, the commenters buy the ruse.) BTW, Black Metal is what inspired Banks Violette’s church made of salt—the New York Times piece about it, and Black Metal, is excellent.
