It was formed by Varg Vikernes (born Kristian Vikernes), under the name of Count Grishnackh. Vikernes is currently serving a prison sentence in Norway for murder and arson. Vikernes, an Odalist, was instrumental in the crystallisation of early black metal, much of which is due to the infamy attributed to Vikernes since the murder of his former band mate (Grishnackh played bass on one Mayhem album) Oystein Aarseth. Aarseth is known better to some by his stage name of "Euronymous."
Contrary to popular belief, Varg claims to have killed Euronymous out of self-defense.
