1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: Disgraceland is a production of Double Elvis. 2 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 2: Never has there been a more extreme form of musical rebellion. 3 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 2: The Norwegian black metal the genre's founding band Mayhem, its 4 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: sister act Bursam, and supporting cast of musicians with names 5 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 2: like Necro, Butcher, Hellhammer and Dead horrified Norway with supreme 6 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: acts of terror, including murder, suicide, church burnings, grave desecrations, 7 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: and even cannibalism, And by the time the ashes settled, 8 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: numerous band members would be dead or in jail, convicted 9 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: of arson and or murder, and a new generation of 10 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: young metal heads would find their way to Satanism through 11 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: blastbeats and dead notes. Some of those blast beats and 12 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 2: dead notes amounted to great music. The music you heard 13 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 2: at the top of the show that wasn't great music. 14 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: That was a preset loop for my melotron called Vienna 15 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: Waltz Accordion MK two. I played you that loop because 16 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: I can't afford the license for Jump by Criss Cross. 17 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: And why would I play you that specific slice of 18 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: prepubescent backward pant Cheese? Could I afford it? Because that 19 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: was the number one song in America On June sixth, 20 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two, and that was the day that Varg 21 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: Vikernes aka Count Grishnak, mastermind behind the black metal band 22 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: Bursam and one time bass player from Mayhem, set off 23 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: a string of church burnings and other acts of satanic 24 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: rebellion that would terrorize in otherwise peaceful nation. On this episode, 25 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: Waltzing Viennese accordions, awkward pantschees, Mayhem Satanic rebellion, and Count Rishnani, 26 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: I'm Jake Brennan, and this this disgrace Lam. 27 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 3: When Bo Didley released his. 28 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: Song who Do You Love in nineteen fifty six, it 29 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: was heard by a country reeling in the shockwaves of 30 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 2: rock and roll. Bo sang about walking for miles on 31 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: barbed wire, cobra snakes used for neckties, a house made 32 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 2: from rattlesnake hide, a chimney made from human skulls. Parents, teachers, 33 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: and squares everywhere warned of the new music's influence on 34 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 2: the clean cut youth of Eisenhower's postwar andformist America. Surely 35 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: this rebellious sounding noise would cause kids to grow their hair, smoke, reefer, 36 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: get pregnant, worship satan, and die. And the squares were right. 37 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: That's exactly what happened, and a decade later, kids were 38 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: uniformly long haired, smoking copious amounts of dope, and taking 39 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: the pill. By nineteen sixty nine and into the seventies, 40 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: they were sympathizing with the devil at Altamont and burning 41 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: their bras in Times Square, and in the nineteen eighties, cocaine, 42 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: crack and aides would claim countless amounts of young lives. Finally, 43 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety one, a heavy metal musician from Norway 44 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 2: would go Bo Diddley one better. It wouldn't be a 45 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: chimney he'd make out of a human skull. It would 46 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 2: be a necklace made out of the skull of his 47 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: recently deceased friend and bandmate. Bo Diddley's lyrics sounds tame now, 48 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: but it only took a mere thirty five years before 49 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: its influence was brought to life in horrific fashion. Rebellion 50 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: is metastatic. One general's rebellion is another generation's norm. The 51 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,279 Speaker 2: line in the sand of what is and isn't acceptable 52 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: gets redrawn with each new generation. Bo Didley was a 53 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: descendant of bluesman Robert Johnson, who hack rock journalists will 54 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 2: eagerly tell Us sold his soul to the Devil and 55 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: Didley's voodoo esque braggadocio went on to inspire countless classic rockers, 56 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 2: including Satanic sympathizers Led Zeppelin, whose unabashed admiration for known 57 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: Satanist Alistair Crowley and melding of steroidal delta blues made 58 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 2: it rain royalty checks, thus inspiring another band from England 59 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 2: named Venom, to take it one step further to full 60 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 2: on devil worship with song titles like in League with Satan, 61 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: Leave Me in Hell in a Thousand Days in Sodom. 62 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: Venom then went on to influence an entirely new generation 63 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: of metal bands like Metallic, Slayer and Testament, until finally 64 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: inspiring a new subgenre of heavy metal called black metal. 65 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: Black metal was started by Norwegian teenagers unable to stand 66 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: the strains of conformity, boredom, anonymity, and long dark winters. Norway, 67 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: a small constitutional monarchy, went through a brief Viking phase 68 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 2: during its adolescence, flirted with fascism in young adulthood, and 69 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: eventually settled lazily into a type of democratic socialism during 70 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 2: middle age. The country, though small, is one of the 71 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 2: world's richest. The state takes care of its own. Government 72 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 2: bureaucracy employs thirty percent of the nation. Disability pensions for 73 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: the unemployed are easy to come by. There isn't a 74 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: lot of poverty, not a lot of income disparity. The 75 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 2: crime rate is low, and punishments for the crimes that 76 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: do get committed arlenient. Historically, there's not a lot to 77 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 2: get pissed off about because there's not a lot that 78 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: goes on in Norway. The country's greatest cultural export is 79 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: frozen fish. Norway is kind of like Europe's answer to 80 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 2: an American flyover state. 81 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 3: What I'm trying to say is. 82 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 2: That if you're a Norwegian teenager, you're probably bored, and 83 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 2: even worse than that, you're probably bored without a whole 84 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 2: lot to rebel against. How does the saying go idle 85 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: hands in the Devil's workshop without overt social injustice. Norwegian 86 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,679 Speaker 2: teenagers look to their heritage for a target to rebel against. 87 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 2: Inspired by Venom, Bathory and a growing group of Satanic 88 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: inspired heavy metal bands in the nineteen eighties, Norwegian teenagers 89 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: saw it in their countries Christian heritage or reason to 90 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: rebel Christian societies preach. More so, worshiping Satan is just 91 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: about the strongest form of rebellion one can take. Mix 92 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: in nihilism, nazism, ancient Norse, Viking mythology, paganism, blistering blast 93 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: beats and speaker shredding power chords, and you've got a 94 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: strong elixir of teenage angst. Black metal became a thing 95 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: on August sixteenth, nineteen eighty seven, with the release of 96 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: the Norwegian band Mayhem's. 97 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 3: Death Crush demo. 98 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: Critics point to Mayhem's officially released first full length album, 99 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 2: dam the Stereos de Satanas as black metal's genre defining record, 100 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: but it has none of the charm of the Death 101 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,239 Speaker 2: Crush demo from seven years earlier. Death Crush sounds less 102 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 2: like a band trying to make something and more like 103 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 2: a bunch of extremely pent up kids bashing shit around 104 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: in their basement in front of blown out microphones that 105 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 2: just happened to be pointed toward their half broken amplifiers. 106 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 3: Mayhem's demo, with. 107 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 2: Its low five, high energy metal recording, it doesn't sound 108 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 2: like anything that came before it. It sounds bleak and primitive. 109 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: It sounds cold. Mayhem's Death Crush is inspired and inspiring. 110 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: It was the landmark black metal recording that would compel 111 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: hordes of bands to come. But before the dark thrones 112 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: and Gorgorads of the world, a polite and unassuming Swedish 113 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: teenager would fully commit himself to Mayhem's satanic nihilism, so 114 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: fully that he would become the genre's first casualty, its 115 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 2: first martyr, and its first sign of the extreme evil 116 00:08:47,760 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 2: to come. Pair Olan was from Sweden. He moved to 117 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: Norway at the age of nineteen to sing in the 118 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: band Mayhem. He wasn't the band's original singer, but he 119 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 2: was by far its most legendary. By all accounts, Olan 120 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: was a kind and sensitive kid, albeit with a very 121 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: dark side. Olan was obsessed with death, with dying. He 122 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 2: claimed he'd wanted to die ever since he was three 123 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 2: years old. His obsession with death and black metal led 124 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 2: him to change his name to Dead, and Dead fully 125 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: committed to the role in a way that would make 126 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: most method actors feel inadequate. To prepare for Mayhem gigs, 127 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 2: Dead would bury his clothes in the ground so that 128 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: when he eventually wore them on stage, they'd have the 129 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: stench of the earth. On them, just as a corpse would. 130 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 2: Before shows, he'd walk around inhaling the rotting stench of 131 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: a dead bird. He'd carried around with him in a 132 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: bag because he wanted the smell of death in his nostrils. 133 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: When he performed on stage, Dead would cut himself, delsi, 134 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: himself and bandmates and the audience with his blood. He 135 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 2: wore all black, and like most metal heads, he had 136 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: a taste for denim, leather, studs, spikes. He painted his 137 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: face white and black in the area around his eyes 138 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: to look more like a corpse, not in a theatrical 139 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: Alice Cooper or Kiss way, but in a scary as 140 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 2: all Hallow's Eve way. With Dead fronting Mayhem, the band's 141 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 2: reputation and influence grew in Norway's black metal scene grew wings. 142 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: Its pilot was Mayhem's founding guitarist Oysten Arseth. Arseeth was 143 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 2: by all accounts, the charismatic leader of the Norwegian black 144 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: metal scene before founding Mayhem. In Deathlike Silence Productions, the 145 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: record label that released Mayhem's albums, Arisith changed his name 146 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 2: to Uronymous to complete his transformation from polite, upper middle 147 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 2: class Norwegian boy into full blown black metal god Uronymous 148 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: and Dead were joined at the hip. There were not 149 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 2: only bandmates, there were also roommates. They listened to Motorhead 150 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 2: and Bathory Records, talk politics, disc poser commercial metal bands 151 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: like Death Angel and Napalm. Death implotted their band and 152 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: their scenes rise to infamy the hopes and Dreams portion 153 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 2: of their story, though it didn't last. Dead became withdrawn. 154 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 2: He was likely clinically depressed, but this was a time, 155 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: a place, and a scene where such self awareness was 156 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 2: not allowed. 157 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 3: Some believe that Dead. 158 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: Suffered from what is known as Cotter delusion, a rare 159 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 2: mental illness in which the affected person believes that they 160 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 2: are dead, that they are actually a walking, future eying corpse. 161 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: This illness manifests after a life threatening trauma like the 162 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: beating Dead took as a schoolboy, where he ended up 163 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: in the hospital with a ruptured spleen, an experience that, 164 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: it has been reported, left him clinically dead for a 165 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 2: period of time. Whatever the reason, his obsession with death 166 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 2: became all consuming. He got his hands on some snuff 167 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 2: films on vhs. He watched them, and then he watched 168 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 2: them again and again and again. He sat alone in 169 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 2: his room and he cut himself. He stopped eating in 170 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: an effort to obtain starving wounds. He told friends he 171 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: believed that his blood had frozen in his veins, and 172 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: that he was a non human and didn't belong on earth, 173 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 2: that he died as a child and longed for the 174 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: deep sleep he'd experienced for a brief period as a boy. 175 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: On April eighth, nineteen ninety one, pair Ollen aka Dead, 176 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 2: singer of Mayhem, the world's pre eminent black metal band, 177 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 2: sat down on his sofa and began. 178 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 3: To write a note. 179 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: Its first word said, excuse all the blood. When authorities 180 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: found the note, Dead's blood was indeed in need of 181 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: an excuse. 182 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 3: It was everywhere. 183 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 2: Dead had slit his wrists, then he slit his own throat, 184 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 2: and somehow, after all of that, managed to fire off 185 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 2: a shot from a shotgun directly into his forehead. Dead 186 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: was dead at twenty two years old. Eronymous discovered Dead's body, 187 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 2: and he assessed the situation with the cold dispassion of 188 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: a grizzled homicide detective. 189 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 3: And then he moved fast. 190 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: Not to call authorities or family, but instead he moved 191 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: quickly out the door and down the street to purchase 192 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 2: a camera. I tailed it back to the apartment where 193 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 2: Dead's exploded skull and bloodied body lie in the early 194 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: stages of rigor mortis, and. 195 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 3: Began taking pictures. 196 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 2: Eronymus knew a good album cover when he saw one. 197 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: He then began collecting bits of his friend's skull and brain. 198 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: The shirds from the skull would make for great necklaces, 199 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: and the bits of brain Eronymous would later boil down 200 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 2: into a stew and consume so that he could claim 201 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 2: the vaunted status of cannibal. 202 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,479 Speaker 3: Let's see those pussies. 203 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 2: From Napon Death eat some brains, fucking posers. 204 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 3: We'll be right back after this word word word. 205 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 2: Dead's grizzly suicide would be immortalized on the cover of 206 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 2: Mayhem's nineteen ninety five live bootleg Dawn of the Black Hearts. 207 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: The photo is arresting. It's the type of thing you 208 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: wish you could unsee, but you can't. The irony, of course, 209 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 2: is that this is a live album with a real 210 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: life picture. 211 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 3: Of a dead guy named Dead on the cover. 212 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: The album's closing track is one of Mayhem's first compositions, 213 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 2: Pure Fucking Armageddon and Pure Fucking Armageddon was exactly what 214 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 2: the black metal scene was about to unleash on to Norway. 215 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 2: To be from Norway in the early nineties and to 216 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: be truly in the black metal it meant that you 217 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 2: had to be truly evil, the type of evil that 218 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: went way beyond the B grade horror movie lyrics from 219 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: Black Sabbath, the type of evil that was much scarier 220 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: than some long haired skateboarders and baggy shorts and painters 221 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: caps listening to Anthrax and crushing cans of Meister Brown 222 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: on a school night. To be truly black metal meant 223 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 2: you had to live for death. You praise Satan, not 224 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 2: because you really believed in Satan, but because it was 225 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 2: so fucking subversive to believe in Satan. You declared war 226 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: on society in all things moral, particularly Christianity. You listened 227 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 2: to and made raw, primitive sounding heavy metal. You had 228 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: no patience for poser metal bands who didn't take death 229 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: and destruction seriously. The goal for Norwegian black metal heads 230 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: was to be truly evil, to completely subvert democratic morality, 231 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: and to banish poser metal bands back to the punk 232 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 2: rock ghettos. 233 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: They crawled out of Uronymous and the scene. 234 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 2: He lorded over had a new charismatic personality, varg Viganus 235 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 2: aka Count Grishnak, the one man engine behind the new 236 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 2: exciting black metal band Bursm. Uronymous agreed to release Bursm's 237 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: records on his Deathlike Silence Productions label, and Vargu, through 238 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: the strength of his Manson esque gaze and the excitement 239 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 2: of his fresh new band, quickly ascended to an unofficial 240 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 2: leadership role in the fast growing scene that now included 241 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 2: a flock of new bands like Darkthrone, Immortal and Enslaved. 242 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 2: Varg was committed to the cause as Uranomous and Dead 243 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 2: before him, but Varg's commitment infused black metal Satanism with 244 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 2: an even more toxic and racist ethno nationalism. Vargu believed 245 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 2: Christianity had purged Norway of its heritage by casting aside 246 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 2: Norse tradition. He took this shit personally. Varg was out 247 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 2: for revenge against Christians, blacks, homosexuals, posers, and basically anyone 248 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: who wasn't a nihilistic blue eyed pagan metal head. Uranimus's 249 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: record shop Helvete, which in Norwegian translates to Hell, served 250 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 2: as a meeting place for himself vargu and other scenisters, 251 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: a group that would later be called the Black Surf. 252 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 2: But it was outside a morbid angel show in Oslo 253 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 2: where plans came together to bring Norway to its knees 254 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 2: and fear. Shortly after, graves were found vandalized, the home 255 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: of Christopher Johnson, frontman for so called poser death metal 256 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 2: band Theryon, had been set on fire. A note was 257 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 2: stuck to his door with a knife. It read the 258 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 2: count was here and he will come back a homosexual 259 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 2: man and Lilly Hammer was killed, randomly, stabbed over thirty 260 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 2: times and left to bleed out in the woods behind 261 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 2: Olympic Park. 262 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: And then the fire started. 263 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 2: The first church to go is the Phantos Stave Church, 264 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 2: one of Norway's historical treasures. It made national headlines, next 265 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 2: the Revheim Church, then the home in Colon. 266 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 3: Chapel and Armoya Church. 267 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: Satanic symbols started showing up around the sites of the burnings. 268 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 2: Norwegians had no idea what was happening. The press covered 269 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: the Arson's breathless Sea, and as the coverage expanded, more 270 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: churches burned. The black metal rebellion was on. Norwegian black 271 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 2: metal heads were literally carrying a torch for their scene, 272 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: and black Metal was no B grade horror flick. It 273 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: was full on evil, real evil, a step further than 274 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 2: any metal scene had gone before. Band leaders became heads 275 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 2: of arson squads, continuously trying to. 276 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:35,959 Speaker 3: Outdo one another. 277 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 2: More churches burned, the Scold Church, the Hauajeto Church, the 278 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 2: Assane Church, the Sarpsburg Church. That one took the life 279 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 2: of a firefighter. Over thirty churches had been set ablaze, 280 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 2: The press blamed, and until now unknown unnamed, unimaginable. 281 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 3: Clan of Satanists. 282 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 2: There were, after all, Satanic symbols discovered at the burn seas, 283 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 2: and who else would be desecrating graves? But authorities were 284 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: slow to pounds on the Satanist's theory. Some held out 285 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: hope that all of the fires and the other assorted 286 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 2: crimes were all just a big accidental coincidence. Bottom line, 287 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 2: nobody had a clue who was behind the terror. Fear 288 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 2: was rampant, and there was no real boogeyman in sight, 289 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 2: not until January nineteen ninety three, anyway. That's when varg 290 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 2: Viganists decided he had had enough with the rumors surrounding 291 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 2: who was behind the church burnings. The press blindly milling 292 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: about for a nameless group of Satanists was one thing, 293 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 2: but back at Helvete, the Black Circle seemed to be 294 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 2: giving uronomous way too much credit for the church burnings 295 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 2: when Varg knew the real deal. It was he, Varg Vicinus, 296 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 2: Count Grishnach, whose spearheaded the arson effort. It was he 297 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: who was putting the black metal scene onto the international 298 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 2: map and onto the front page a karaying magazine. Varg 299 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 2: had had enough. He decided to try to cheekily set 300 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 2: the record straight by giving an interview to a daily newspaper. 301 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 2: In it, he claimed he knew who burned the churches 302 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 2: and who murdered the homosexual man in lily Hammer. It 303 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: took local police about five minutes to identify Varg with 304 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 2: his pension. For being photographed with torches, knives, chainmail and 305 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,719 Speaker 2: long hair, it was easy for them to mark them 306 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: as a person of interest, and it wasn't long before 307 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 2: they were onto the entire scene, and within no time 308 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: authorities had found a Bursen flyer promoting the band's new album, 309 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 2: aptly titled Ashes On It, there was an image depicting 310 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: the burning of Van Tofft's Stave Church. The flyer also 311 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 2: had on it Varg's adres us. For all his high 312 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 2: minded Norris Viking neo racist, pseudo intellectual horseshit, the count 313 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 2: sure seemed like a fucking moron. The police showed up 314 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: at the address on the flyer and found him hold 315 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 2: up with enough explosives to blast them all to hell 316 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 2: and back. He was taking into custody before we could 317 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: use them to blow up a cathedral and celebration of 318 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: Mayhem's next album release. 319 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 3: Now that's how you throw a record release party. 320 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 2: Remarkably, Varg was released for lack of evidence. He was 321 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: now the BMOC of black metal. His ego grew, so 322 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: did his animosity for his friend Eronymous, who's dabbling in cannibalism. Notwithstanding, 323 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 2: Varg believed Uronomist wasn't truly evil. He thought he was 324 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 2: soft and believed he was a closet homosexual. Furthermore, Uronomus 325 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 2: didn't share Varg's fascist leanings. Varg was a devoted follower 326 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 2: of Stalin and of Hitler's SS. Uronymus, despite his black 327 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 2: metal identity, was a socialist who collected government welfare and 328 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 2: still took money from his parents to help get by. 329 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 2: Further complicating their relationship, Eronymus owed varg money for unpaid 330 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 2: burst and royalties, then heard a rumor that Uronomus was 331 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 2: planning on killing him, not just murdering him, but kidnapping him, 332 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 2: torturing him, filming the torture, and then killing him on film. 333 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: The circumstances around dead suicide, the rumors of Uronomus's cannibalism, 334 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 2: the church burnings, grave desecrations, rumored death of a homosexual 335 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 2: man at the hands of someone in the scene, and 336 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 2: the harassment of other poser metal bands all caused Mayhem's 337 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 2: reputation to wring out worldwide. But a snuff film showing 338 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 2: the torture and murder of one of the scene's biggest 339 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 2: stars that would truly be something true evil. Let's see 340 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 2: Dave Mustang rub about James Hetfield on film Mega Death 341 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 2: more like Mega Pussies. It all made sense to Vargu. 342 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 2: Uronymous was an insecure egomaniac who felt threatened by Varg's 343 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 2: growing rep and practically Uronymus owed him money, so murdering 344 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 2: him was. 345 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 3: A handyway to erase a debt. 346 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: Varg was enraged he wasn't gonna let a brown eyed socialist, 347 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 2: closet homosexual who owed him money get over on him. 348 00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 2: The Uronymous had to be confronted and fasten. If Arg 349 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 2: turned up at Uronymus's apartment unannounced at three in the morning, 350 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 2: it was under the guise of signing his burst some 351 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: record contract. This was something that Uronomous, despite the time 352 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: of night, was very keen on making happen. Bursham was 353 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 2: one of his record label's moneymakers. Without a signed contract, 354 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 2: there were no royalties to collect. He buzzed varga in 355 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 2: to let him up to his fourth floor apartment. It 356 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 2: would prove to be a crucial mistake. Varg wasn't there 357 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 2: to sign any papers. He was there to find out 358 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: what the fuck was going on and to put an 359 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 2: end to this beef one way or another. Uronymus opened 360 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 2: the door in his underwear, and when Varg asked him 361 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 2: about his plans to murder him, Uronomus attacked Varg kicked 362 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 2: him in the chest. Varg was stunned. He grabbed Uonymus 363 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 2: and threw him to the floor. Uronomus quickly got to 364 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 2: his feet and ran toward the kitchen. Varg assumed to 365 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 2: grab a knife or some other sort of weapon, maybe 366 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 2: the shotgun that dead shot himself with. Varg knew Uronymius 367 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: kept it handy. The count was not afraid, he was determined. 368 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 2: He grabbed his own knife and took off after Uronymous, 369 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,959 Speaker 2: catching up to him before you could find a weapon, 370 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 2: and Varg stabbed him, but Uronomists managed to keep moving 371 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 2: back toward the door and out of the apartment. He 372 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 2: broke down the hallway, screaming for help, bringing as many 373 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 2: doorbells as he could along the way. 374 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 3: Varg was hot on his trail, close enough to. 375 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 2: Continue stabbing him all the way down the stairwell. Uronomist 376 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 2: could do little, but he somehow stayed on his feet. 377 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 2: His momentum kept hurtling him down the stairs, his adrenaline 378 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 2: kept the screams for help coming at a piercing volume. 379 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: The horrific sounds kept the neighbors terrified and paralyzed in 380 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 2: their apartments, and Varg's hate kept the stabbings coming, twenty 381 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 2: two of them, until. 382 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 3: Uronymous could run no more. 383 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 2: His momentum slow, he staggered to a wobbling standstill for 384 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 2: a second or two before falling to his knees, bloodied 385 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 2: and Gasping for breath, he looked up to face his murderer, 386 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 2: his one time friend and comrade in arms, var Vicanus, 387 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 2: who then took his knife in both of his hands, 388 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 2: raised it above his head and silently called upon the 389 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 2: great Norse gods of thunder, and with the pure Viking 390 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 2: rage that was his lineage, Varg brought the knife down 391 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 2: straight into the skull of Euronymus. 392 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 3: He died instantly. Varg was arrested nine days later. 393 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 2: An informant gave authorities all they needed on Varg for 394 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 2: the killing of Uronymus and the church burnings. Another member 395 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 2: of the scene, Bard faust Ethian, drummer for the black 396 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: metal band Emperor, admitted to the murderer of the homosexual 397 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 2: man in Lillehammer's Olympic Park. He claimed he just wanted 398 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: to see what killing. 399 00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 3: A man felt like. 400 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 2: He got eight years for killing a man in cold 401 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 2: blood for no reason other than that the. 402 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 3: Man was gay. 403 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: Way to go, Norway, pure evil with little consequence. Varg 404 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 2: pled innocent to all the charges and turned his trial 405 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 2: into a side show that no doubt made Charlie Manson proud, 406 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 2: playing the role of Satanists, neo fascist and pagan warlord 407 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 2: at the rebellious shoe fit varg Warret and the press. 408 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 3: They ate it all up. 409 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 2: Quickly, making Count Grishnach Norway's public enemy number one. Varg 410 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 2: Vicanus was convicted for arson for three of the thirty 411 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 2: plus church burnings, attempted arson of a fourth, possession of 412 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 2: illegal explosives, and the. 413 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 3: Murder of Uronymous. 414 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 2: He was sentenced to twenty one years in prison, which 415 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 2: unbelievably is the maximum penalty allowed in Norway for murder 416 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 2: in arson.

Norwegian black metal is bigger than ever. 418 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 2: Second generation bands like gorgor Rath have taken the genre 419 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 2: far beyond the cold, dark Norwegian forest to every corner 420 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 2: of the world.
