Original Post
I just read this article on a couple Norwegian death metal bands. It sounds too unreal to be true.

True or false?

It''s true that their vocalist "Dead" shot himself in 1991. Another band member was killed by an ex-bass player. They did take a picture from the scene, but the rest reeks of urban myths...
"Emperor''s drummer [...] was arrested for burning down a historic Norwegian wooden church." - True
"their bassist [...] thrown in jail for burglary, knife assault, and desecration" - Don''t know which bassist that would be, not unlikely.
"Their second drummer [...] stabbing a homosexual acquaintance 14 times" - True
"Dead [...] shooting himself in the head" - True
"they took a photo of Dead [...] used on the cover" - True
"their drummer made a necklace out of fragments of Dead''s skull" - True
"Euronymous, cooked and ate pieces of his brains in a stew." - I beleive this to be a myth
"Euronymous later met his own death" - True, killed as described
"[...] at the hands of the band''s bassist, Count Grishnackh" - Varg Vikernes, was never actually bass player in Mayhem, just played on a record. He was devoted for Burzum since many years before this.
"[...] jealous over Euronymous'' more evil reputation [...]" - I don''t think that was his motive, but rather a semi-political/-religous issue (Euronymous was a communist).
"[...] they found in his house enough dynamite to blow up a large church" - True.
"their bassist [...] thrown in jail for burglary, knife assault, and desecration" - Don''t know which bassist that would be, not unlikely.

Wow, that''s some nguyened up stuff there!

Oh dear! That''s why I can''t find too much Emperor on KaZaA.
