VARG VIKERNES GETS OUT.

This story has been haunting my brains since I heard it a few years back from a friend of mine, who is a Norwegian black metal follower. It's disturbing in all rites and all sense of the word but still it has been fodder for my stories. I have been writing a screenplay inspired by these events and in many ways this horror translates itself into many of my stories. I mean I watch "Marilyn Manson" in interviews and although the guy is very intelligient, you have to realize he's a showman. I even read somewhere that "Cannibal Corpse" is all about the "show". Regardless...



Not but a few posts ago I had written a quickie about the black metal band "Mayhem" and it being the quintessential (no acting here... like let's say a Marilyn Manson type character might be), fucked up, satan following, dark mongering musical collection. Just to recap...one of the original singers, Dead, killed himself and one his fellow band mates, Euronymous, took pics which later became the cover of a bootleg of theirs. Euronymous supposedly ate part Dead's brains and then collected parts of him to make bone jewelry out of. Who knows? Anywho...in August 93' Varg Vikernes of "Burzum" joined as bass guitar. Upon the release of their album "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas", Euronymous and Vikernes had conspired to blow up Nidaros Cathedral, a church in Norway, which appeared on the album cover. Instead Vikernes stabbed Euronymous 23 times. He was susequently arrested for that and the arson of various churches. After all this only one member of "Mayhem" existed so naturally the band died as well.

After all these years Varg is released from prison.
