BORNHOLM labelled as Viking/Pagan Metal ?

I know we don't have a single topic on BORNHOLM band in Sword Chant but the band stated the following :
Through the years we had to recognize, that we had been marked as Viking metal or Pagan metal. That is totally false way and rooted in the misunderstanding and in knowledgeless media.
Our music NEVER was Viking metal, we don't have any lyrics of that, nor musically. For example our track "Where the Light Was Born" is about the German occult rebirth of the late 19th century, the true gnostic occult knowledge, what changed the world. Light is always from the the light-bringer: "Lucifer"-or call as you like it, even God or unity of any gods. Every lyrics are symbolic, a statement against ALL so-called exoteric religions and governing the men to become their own real god. Nine runes, nine gates to rebirth, everything is the same way in different clothing. We don't want to be in similar category as nowadays' very shameful pagan metal bands, it is simply about stupidity, full of sentimentalism and it's ridiculous..
We won'tl be like that and never was. Our music is from the deep abyss of barbaric chaos from what an eternal shining higher order has been created. It is about unity of good and evil as the main governing power of the universe. That is about the hierarchy -what means "holy order"- of the world, power to the ruler and enslavement to the slaves. Please read our lyrics once more You, who wants to categorize us as Viking Metal. We are living in the very present not amongst the fairytales of the past.
