    As a lifelong bm fan who has and been there since the beginning it was a shame about Per, he had cotards syndrome, and he was unkuckily around the wrong person.

    This unstable little wimp, traveled to another country to frontman a band, with whose members didnt even speak his language. Dude, you're way off about this guy being so fragile. I know people who won't move to LA to try to make it and they live in Arizona.

    Edwin Borsheim from Kettle Cadaver is a good one to cover if you haven't already. Everyone always says GG was the most violent and psycho front man but nope Edwin is a true psycho, he does the most brutal shit too himself and has found comfort in pain and misery.

    dude, get your facts straight. really made me write a fucking essay here.
    painting 2 dudes in early 20s as mastermind vs a child is crazy work.
    pelle had eating disorder before he even came to norway. they were short on money so frankly none of them ate properly. and no shit, the most mentally ill person won't eat well either.
    euro's actions are pretty damn understandable once you clock it that everyone deals with trauma differently. pelle was the closest with him and vice versa. he walked into the room to see his friend's brains on the fucking wall. and let me double down on this. A MAN. IN BLACK METAL BAND. THAT ACT LIKE FEELINGS ARE BEYOND THEM. SEES HIS DEAD FRIEND AND CAN'T EVEN GET COMFORT FROM ANYONE. NOBODY WAS THERE FOR EURO. his way of coping was fucked up for normal mind. but people did weird shit in shock before. he showed pictures to others to share his trauma. to feel less alone in some kind of way. and HE DID NOT. I REAPEAT FFS. HE DID NOT USE HIS PHOTO FOR ALBUM COVER. said album cover was used by someone who got picture, BUT NOT PERMISSION TO MAKE IT ALBUM COVER. AND IT CAME OUT AFTER EURO DIED HIMSELF.
    euro had pieces of dead's skull. which no shit he was finding bones when dead blew his head open. and again. t r a u m a. no he didn't eat his brain. no one did. some dude from scene made that shit up and it somehow stuck to euro. cuz yall seem to hate this guy for not even existing since man died before he could see 26.
    dead's "on stage" behavior was not only for stage either. cotard's was speculated but if you read and sift thru bullshit and persona – he was depressed as fuck. he did not ACTUALLY believe he was dead.
    FYI euro made sure that during their tour – everyone knew what to do and where was the nearest hospital. EURO was the one to make him ducktape his arms to stop bleeding. they're in a metal band and had to have some persona. behind which was euro that clearly did not want dead to die (at very least because it's a good fucking vocalist which he just found).
    BOTTOM LINE – dead was mentally ill, he was in bad for him situation. and then euro got traumatized when he found dead.
    hate euro all you wish, but he was no more guilty than rest of the band. it's just easier to pile on the man who can't defend himself. since yk. he got murdered.

    This was by far the best handled way to narrate the situation, reading and rereading recounts and Wikipedia pages just gets more and more surreal, thanks for such a solid professional breakdown

    Guess this guy never heard of Nattramn from Silencer. It's always so weird to see people speak about Nordic BM in a way for me, my ex lives just outside Bergen & knew Øystein Aarseth, been drinking with Gylve Fenris Nagell at The Garage in Bergen, I know the woman who's Husband filmed the famous footage of Varg after his bust as he was going to trial etc. She never said a good word about Øystein & his love of hurting cats drove her mad to the point she nearly did a Varg on him too.

    Cotards is fucked bois.

    Almost died, and every once in awhile, I get this STRONG feeling that I am dead, and the last 5 years have just been my mind slowly shutting down.
    Luckily grounding techniques help.

    I always found them very homoerotic. I think erogenous was in a relationship with dead and with varg. Dead killed himself because he couldn't deal with his feelings for erogenous. And Varg killed him later for similar reasons.

    I love your video. I loved my black metal phase, mostly Emperor's music. This is a sad story for sure. Im also getting old because I have no clue whats cool. If i ever did. I listened to black metal

    Once the initial shock value of the 'Dawn of the Black Hearts' cover wore off it definitely became something sadder. I'd heard Pelle's brother talk about it in an interview, how that image is on shirts and patches and stuff with no thoughts as to how it may affect his family and friends. Interestingly enough though, Pelle's brother Daniel now fronts Morbid and is brought on stage in a coffin like Pelle once wanted to do at Mayhem gigs.

    I agree with Pelle burying his clothes and carrying dead rotting animals for a better atmosphere for the shows, but not on him harming himself, if I was Aarseth, I would've told him to not try that sht again.

    Its tough to say. I want to die and to have a legacy would be nice. I don't judge anyone who wants to die. Euronymous was not a good person but if that's what Dead was after, he gave him that.

    the whole thing about harming yourself to ground is a way i never looked at it and it made me have a holy fuck moment cause thats exactly what i do/did and having been in mental help services since i was 7 ive never heard anyone put it like that holy shit great video though ive always been fascinated with the band mayhem even if the music sucks lmao

    To me, anyone who mistreat animals are death. And fortunately this psyco Pelle lived up to his name, And after his death many other animals was spared. By the way, I know the body language of cats. And the one photo with Pelle and a cat shows an very uncomfortable cat that just want to get the hell away from him. If there is redemption, Pelle should really pray hard for it.

    I knew the myths but never heard the human aspect of this. This video was necessary and tasteful. But also screw you internet from stopping people from using harsh words when their just trying to educate others so they can receive the help they need.

    video "Per Yngve Ohlin | Murdered by Metal" by veryFairyDies goes much more in depth about the life of Ohlin and history of Mayhem. If you are interested about the topic I suggest you watch that

    Is Varg a misunderstood person or has the legacy media selectively edited what he said out of context and misquoted him to support their corporate globalized narrative?
