i actually had the magazine with an interview of euoronymous and varns(cant remember his name,anyways they all seemed pretty good friends there lol,then about a month later i hear that varns killed euronymous,i didnt mind a couple of mayhem and burzum tunes actually.
His name was Varg (means wolf). His given name was Kristian Vikernes, then changed it to Varg Vikernes, then once again he changed his surname to Quisling. (Vidkun Quisling was a norwegian nazi traitor who led Norway under the nazis!)
As far as I know he´s changed his name once again, but can´t remember to what....
Their second vocalist, Dead, shot himself in the head with a shotgun after having slit his wrists, back in 1991.
Maniac, the original vocalist disappeared after the first album, Deathcrush (1987), only to reappear in the mid ´90s.
After Dead died (sic!), Attila Csihar from Tormentor (Hungary), came in and sang on De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.
Maniac came back, and did Wolf´s Lair Abyss, Grand Declaration Of War, and Chimera. He got kicked out during the tour following Chimera.
Now, Attila is back for a second stint....
Btw. if Varg hadn´t killed Euronymous, Euronymous would´ve killed Varg, most of the people in the inner circle in Norse BM agree on.
Varg was a right wing believer in Norse mythology while Euronymous was a communist/marxist.
They also had differences over money, (Euronymous had a part in putting out the first Burzum album (Vargs band)), and they were both struggling to become the 'leader' of this inner circle!
Varg would´ve been out of prison on parole by now, if it wasn´t for his stupid stunt, trying to escape to Sweden by hijacking a car, and heading for the mountains, while on a weekend leave from prison....
anyway live they´re pretty bizzare, though they suck musicalwise, but I´ve heard some of the records and it doesn´t sound that bad.
