I am one of Novaks friends from Melbourne, Australia. Some interesting comments here about the incident. I can't believe how easily you have been suckered into believing everything in the article as concreted fact.
Firstly, Novak didn't blame burzum. Someone at the party said that novak listened to burzum and, when questioned by the police, novak said 'i listen to burzum and i draw alot of influence from him'. He claimed full responsibility in his court appearance for burning the church. Quite a throw away from blaming but hey, i guess the papers print whatever sells.
Secondly, Novak, as with me, believe that satanism is one of the most idiotic conceptions man has spewed since the square wheel. It was spewed from some loser Lavey who wanted to be 'alternative' and so worshipped satan. I hope there is a heaven and hell and hes burning in it right now.
He did it because of his hatred for the peoples that churches and most organised religion produde (I'm pretty sure I'll have most of your agreeance on this) and decided to act on his belief. In this world, not many people act on what they believe anymore, they simply sit around and pissfart their lives away.
BTW, one of the people who fingered him for it claimed to the police that Dark Tranquility was a satanic, anti christian, black metal group who sacrificed animals and mutilated themselves at shows. It truly shows the sort of scared peoples christianity produces.
