“Delve far enough into Metal, and you’ll find environmentalists.”
― Erik Davis

“Earth has no sorrow that earth can not heal.”
― John Muir

“Thinking ecologically does not mean reverting to a natural state... Such a state does not exist and never has. In [this] view, ecology should therefore distance itself from a naive belief in an originary natural situation. Dark Ecology thinks outside the modern divide between culture and nature.”
― Arie Altena

“Black Metal just makes sense; its melodramatic Satanism transformed into an angry lament for human folly. But it doesn't just mourn. It also aims its epic melodies toward the old Romantic sublime, drawing the listener into the dream of a vital and resurgent earth.. a demand to return to a pre-modern wilderness in which humans purportedly lived at one with the climax forests of the Pacific Northwest.”
