Varg Vikernes (a.k.a. Count Grishnackh) — the former BURZUM mastermind who is currently serving a 21-year Norwegian prison term for the August 1993 murder of MAYHEM guitarist Oystein Aarseth (a.k.a. Euronymous) — has been denied parole by the Norwegian Ministry of Justice after it was determined that he was "too dangerous" to be released into the general public. According to the Norwegian newspaper VG, Varg's case workers fear that he won't be able to handle life outside prison and they want better measures to insure that he will be able to cope with normal living conditions once he's released.

"I don't understand this," the 35-year-old Varg Vikernes told VG. "They want me to have an arrangement with NVA (The Norwegian Labour and Welfare Service) so they can sort everything out for me, but I don't need that. Do I have to become a welfare case to be released? I have a house, a job and a family that awaits me."

Vikernes — who is married, with one daughter (aged 15) and a son (aged nine months) — has served two-thirds of his sentence. His third application for parole has just been denied. The message from the authorities is clear: Varg Vikernes should not be released from prison. In denying his parole, the Ministry of Justice pointed to the fact that Vikernes escaped from prison in 2003 and has ties to neo-Nazi groups.

"I haven't had any contact with those groups in a very long time. The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) is well aware of this," claims Vikernes.

Varg is free to apply for parole again within a year.

I guess conjugal visit days have paid off.
