Let's talk about Dead (Mayhem)'s death photo. (warning: brains inside)

I especially like the beginning, when Hellhammer (?) appears to shower Pelle with dandelion flurries.

whoa

roxy you are as usual a champ!

;)

Started my first cross stitch project today:

The Annie + Varg story is all true. I JUST KNOW that i read an interview where she comments about some black metal stuff, but i can't find it.

Someone corroborate this!

As 2am looms at the Spellemannprisen aftershow party, held in the opulent Grand Hotel in Oslo, Annie kicks off her spearmint-green high heels. It has taken a good hour for her to cross the party, receiving congratulations and dispensing bright "hellos" to acquaintances including Necrobutcher, bassist of notorious black metal outfit Mayhem.

Wow. Ok, but specifically about her dating Varg?!

searching

Stan, you are my fact-checking cuz.

here's something:

she also dated Euroboy from Turbonegro

these are all "someone on a forum" so not yet from the horse's mouth:

That guy seems to be a little light on the facts, though. xpost

(You're the best, Stan!)

:-)

Wish I spoke Norwegian though, because I can't find much more at the moment.

Here she is in a VH1 interview, talking about her record collection - Mayhem is the last one in the list, but she doesn't say anything personal.

Annie was 14 when Varg Vikernes was arrested for Euronymous's murder. I guess it still could've been possible that they dated before that (Vikernes was himself only 19 then), but I'm not sure how likely that is.

I thought he was 21?

Not according to Wikipedia.

Sheesh.

High school thing, probably - she only moved to Bergen when she was 13, according to Wikipedia again. So it must have been when she was between 13-15, if it really happened.

I think Vikernes was already in jail when she turned 15.

If he set that church on fire in 1992, then that may have happened while he was having a high school relationship with ... (uh oh, do you think that's why this is so hard to find?)

doesnt he talk about having a gf at the time of the murder who had an apt and went to techno clubs or something? that would give me the idea that she was older.

I think the varg/annie thing is either not true or better kept quiet...

(Should we ask the mods to ungoogle this thread just in case Annie is trying to hide all of this?)

Haw, you can't be serious!

how come I almost got my head ripped off for posting this pic yesterday?

oh yea, cuz I gave no warning! :)

(brainz inside)

That's not really very nice, Bo Jackson Overdrive.

Where'd you post it, BJO?

I've heard Varg talking about having a predilection for "nice" girls who were completely outside of the metal scene. If she was into Mayhem, this would exclude her (although of course she could have and probably would have gotten into it afterwards).

some great detective work on this thread

It's a BM "So Not Gonna Happen."

(PS, Varg was 21 when he was convicted, which is why his sentence was 21 years.)

What kind of logic is that?

Scandinavian?

He was older than (18?), so they could give him the maximum sentence, which is 21 years in Norway.

Technically, what roxy said is right, but not literally (you don't get 23 years if you kill someone while you're 23, for instance)

To clear up the confusion: according to Vakernes's Wiki page he was 19 in January 1993 when arrested for Euronymous's murder (though he turned 20 the next month), but I guess when he was finally convicted he'd already turned 21, since the court process takes time. Still, I doubt any potential Annie-dating would have happened between his arrest and conviction, so if it's true it must've happened before the arrest, whe Annie was 14 or younger. Which is why I doubt it happened at all.

You're right. Varg would never flout popular morality.

(And haw, aldo!)

someone had this boot as a hoodie.

i kinda wanted it?
