Wardruna mainman Einar Selvik has named what he believes to be a benefit from the infamous black metal church burnings.
During the early 90s, members of the Norwegian black metal scene, including Varg Vikernes of Burzum and Samoth of Emperor, burned down wooden churches in acts of arson that were deemed to be pro-Satanist. The fires became a widespread news story and spawned fears of an anti-Christian crime wave in other countries, including the UK.
