12.17.15 | The Nattramn rumors are untrue as he was just holding the trotters under the bandages. As for the murders those were commited by his brother. |
Alastor
12.17.15 | gaahl doesn't even sing on antichrist. |
grindcorecore
12.17.15 | i just picked my favourite album from each band |
zaruyache
12.17.15 | jon nödtveidt at least (if I remember right) seemed like he felt guilty about his past, though. Doesn't change the fact that he was a murderer, but at least he wasn't as smiley and arrogant about it as Varg. |
grindcorecore
12.17.15 | OvDeath i totally forgot goatlord and dissection |
zaruyache
12.17.15 | oh and the gorgoroth dudes also raped a woman, that seems kinda important |
grindcorecore
12.17.15 | did they really? i didn't hear about that |
BandNewbac
12.17.15 | I don't know whether to believe varg when he talks about it though, he seems so sketchy.
didn't know about dissection thats fucked. |
worthlessscab
12.17.15 | naughty boys |
Nazzadan
12.17.15 | I'd believe anything Varg tells me, his voice is so dreamy~
Also yeah that Goatlord shit was fucked up |
InFlamesWeThrash666
12.17.15 | Dude from Dissection also murdered a gay man
And killed himself for Satan. Cool guy |
Nazzadan
12.17.15 | Didn't Atilla throw a pigs head into an audience and crack a girl in the head with it? Poor Mayhem, can't catch a break |
EvoHavok
12.17.15 | Quite a few madmen in the bm scene. |
Nazzadan
12.17.15 | Also some absolute sweethearts, like that adorable Abbath fella |
PortraitsOfDecay
12.17.15 | Doesn't kvarforth deserve to be on here? |
WatchItExplode
12.17.15 | Where is there evidence that Euronymous wanted to torture Varg and make a snuff film? I haven't heard that before. |
Alastor
12.17.15 | "Didn't Atilla throw a pigs head into an audience and crack a girl in the head with it?"
Not quite. It was Maniac, a sheep head and a guy who was injured. |
Nazzadan
12.17.15 | Well that's much less metal. |
grindcorecore
12.17.15 | @watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ah8sEG9YGo |
Nazzadan
12.17.15 | That video alone isn't great evidence of the proposed kidnapping/snuff film as it is just from Varg himself, but later in that same documentary other musicians confirmed that Euronymous was planning it, and some even testified in Varg's trial that he was going to do it. The other dude with Varg at Euronymous' apartment I believe testified that Euronymous attacked Varg first, too.
Edit: Watching the video it was Blackthorn with him, I thought it was some random friend of theirs |
grindcorecore
12.17.15 | do you have a link? |
Nazzadan
12.17.15 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFfB3QXVHRE this is the whole doc, I am at work and don't really have the time to watch the whole thing until when they mention all that but I think its around the same time as that Varg interview you linked.
Varg is fucked up but I 100% believe Euronymous was at least entertaining the thought of killing him
Blackthorn was on trial for something else and said that he had nothing to do with the murder and was trying to protect himself from being involved in Varg's case so nvm he didn't testify that Varg was attacked at the apartment. |
WatchItExplode
12.17.15 | I'm reading Metallion, the Slayer Mag Diaries right now. From what I've read it seems like Varg was a cash cow for Euronymous in developing his label. I wouldn't put something bizarre like the torture/snuff film thing past him, but the timing seems unlikely. |
Nazzadan
12.17.15 | Yeah at that same time though Varg was going public with what the black metal "inner circle" was doing, and Euronymous wanted to shut him up |
WatchItExplode
12.17.15 | As far as claiming responsibility for church burnings and stuff? |
Spacesh1p
12.17.15 | That's my understanding, the church burnings and stuff, yeah. However what I know is limited to the youtube documentaries on the topic. |
Nazzadan
12.17.15 | Yeah he was claiming responsibility for the burnings and just bringing tons of worldwide media attention down on the small black metal scene and the inner circle was none too happy with that. He also had his own sect of the inner circle that was militant to say the least and he was preparing to bomb a building when they arrested him, so I see plenty of reasons for the rest of the BM scene to want him out of the picture |
zaruyache
12.17.15 | nvm ninja's.
woah varg was gonna blow a place up? So he's a militant nationalist too? :/ |
Mystletainn
12.17.15 | Kurt Struebing of 1st wave BM band NME killed his adoptive mom with a hatchet and scissors while on drugs and I believe shortly after drove his car off an off-ramp and died.
One of the worst things I've ever heard is the lead singer of lost prophets raping a baby... Sick fk, they aren't BM but ya. |
trve
12.17.15 | liturdgy is more fucking problematic than anything else on this list because they suck |
Nazzadan
12.17.15 | Yeah he was allegedly going to blow up a squat house where a bunch of anti-fascist punks were living (punks in the literal sense not like "you darn punks!") |
Illoomorpheme
12.17.15 | Jef Whitehead seems like an OK dude to me, his interviews show him as a pretty down to earth guy that just wants to make music and raise his kid. |
Spacesh1p
12.17.15 | The Lostprophets thing is on Wikipedia, says that he was charged with the "attempted rape of a 1 year old girl," but that's it. Presumably he wasn't found guilty for it, but based on what he plead guilty to, it seems a distinct possibility. |
Mystletainn
12.17.15 | I doubt he's innocent, thinking about it makes my stomach turn. |
Nazzadan
12.17.15 | Yeah, some of the details that came out of his case were pretty...yeah. |
MasBarHigeuoris21
12.18.15 | This is a very informative list! I only listen to some black metal and only knew some of the stuff about Mayhem, Burzum, and Varg before reading this but didn't know anything about these other bands (except for lostprophets). Always new BM bands were hardest of the hardcore but nothing like this. |
