Yep agreed. I read the book Lords of Chaos which talks about lots of this stuff. Such a great read for metal fans.Actually , while Venom Is indeed, the first band to coin the phase Black Metal ,
the church burnings which started in Norway, were connected to what is known as the second wave of Black Metal, in the early 90s. And it was actually Black Metal musicians who did most of the pyrotechnics. Mainly , Varg of the bands Burzum and Mayhem, though others followed suit.
