Ah, yes, I'm quite familiar with the facts on black metal. In fact, I was reminded quite a bit of Varg Vikernes when I read this. The cult's European nationalism, the church burnings, and even the hero's transition from tr00-kvlt black metaller to a full-fledged Odinist are all quite similar to Varg's worldview and life.

I will admit, I am somewhat aware of the rituals of Asatru, I just didn't know what exactly they're called by its believers.

Now for a slightly more in depth review: when I first started reading this, I got the impression that this was actually set in Scandanavia. Then I remembered I was reading one of your stories, haha! The scenery was great. In all honesty, I could see this being made into a movie.

in spite of my comparison of Kvasir to Varg Vikernes, I actually found him to be a mostly respectable character. Sure, he was hanging around people who were fucking with his head, but all in all, he didn't seem like such a bad guy. At least he didn't go all Derek Vinyard like one might expect from a person trying to join such a predjudiced lot (the more bigoted aspects of their beliefs seemed more implied than anything for the most part and not too dominant, anyway). In fact, it was quite the opposite. Then, of course, he got himself killed. Some things are just too good to be true, eh?

All in all, I liked it. May not have thrilled me as much as The Gym Teacher, but that may have just been due to my exhaustion at the time.
