I have heard about church burning's, Satanic rituals, and other silly story's in Black Metal, but never really heard about or looked into the subject of drugs and alcohol (apart from that goose in 'Shining' but that doesn't count)

Is The Black metal scene generally anti that sort of behavior or do they they just not embrace or gloat about it like they do in other metal scenes?

dumb thread i know, but i was getting bored so that justifies it

From what I can tell and what I've heard in interviews, Euronymous and Varg Vikernes were both totally Sober and in a few interviews both of them bash substance abuse and alcohol, even crapping on people who do.
 
And then look at Bathory and Venom. They loved them some drugs.

I was trying to say Black Metal isn't dependant on substance abuse, but I guess that works too.

I do not see any point in this thread, drugs in Black Metal existed back in early days, they exist in Black Metal now... and will most likely exist in Black Metal in the future.

Not only that, but every genre of music is known to have some kind of relation to drug abuse (whether alcohol, tobacco or illicit)... what makes BM so special?

If you read my first post properly you would understand why i was curious.
Every genre has a relation to drugs and alcohol in some way i know, even christian bands (they love em) I was just curious on where The Black metal scene stood, or the sub genres of bm.
Mostly because of the lack of exposure about the subject.
For all i know my favorite bands could be Sober vegan substance abuse haters.
