Quote: Drummer Hellhammer, who at one time worked in a mental hospital, is the only remaining member of the band's prime-period lineup. Lead vocalist Dead committed suicide in 1991 (two years after joining the band) by shooting himself in the head; Hellhammer made a necklace using some of his skull fragments, and Euronymous reportedly cooked and ate pieces of Dead's brain. Euronymous, in turn, was stabbed to death while in his underwear on August 10, 1993, by the band's bass player, Count Grishnackh (born Christian Vikernes). Grishnackh's alleged motive was jealousy over the fact that Euronymous had a more evil reputation; he inflicted 23 separate wounds, it was also rumored, so as to outdo rival band Emperor's drummer, Faust, who was convicted in the stabbing death of a homosexual acquaintance. When police arrested Grishnackh, they found over 150 kg of stolen dynamite in his house, complete with a plan to blow up a large church on a religious holiday.

You know, the title was cut off, but I knew it was gonna be Mayhem. Didn't they also use a photo of one of the dead guys as an album cover or something?

Ittarius You know, the title was cut off, but I knew it was gonna be Mayhem. Didn't they also use a photo of one of the dead guys as an album cover or something? Yep. The Dawn of Black Hearts album. It was actually the frontman, Dead, who's picture they used for the cover.

The Dawn of Black Hearts album. It was actually the frontman, Dead, who's picture they used for the cover. I thought so. That's pretty dark.

Reading this, I question how real it is, even though I'm sure it is.

All I saw in the guild's quicklist was "Most brutal band biography I have ever read" and all I could think was "I bet Devtar created this and if he doesn't talk about Mayhem or the entirety of 90's Norwedish black metal, I'mma slug 'em."
Luckily you don't get slugged...
For now.
