Metal bassist admits to burning churches to "raise his profile" as a musician

Bassist in a black metal band Vodka Vultures, a 22-year-old Holden Matthews has pleaded guilty to putting fire to three Louisiana Baptist churches last year. At his plea hearing, according to The Grio, Matthews admitted to burning the churches "because of the religious character of these buildings, in an effort to raise his profile as a 'Black Metal' musician by copying similar crimes committed in Norway in the 1990s". Two points: 1. A fool; 2. This is not what black metal is about.
