In the article Radical Inspiration, or Tolkienian Threads in the Works of Varg Vikernes, Adam Podlewski draws a comparison between John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s and Varg Vikernes’ esthetical, theological, and civilisational world­view. In spite of obvious differences on many levels, the intellectual vision of the Norwegian musician seems to be heavily influenced by the author of The Hobbit Or There And Back Again—both by informed and unaware inspirations. It is argued that Vikernes’ views on Norwegian history particularly resemble the Tolkienian vision of so-called modern ‘mordorisation’. There is, however, one mayor difference between the referenced artists: that is the role that they grant to Christianity.
