I wish. I don't remember what it was. But I would have remembered if it was Raunchy Young Lepers.

I love how Mayhem is linked to Ataraxia (serene, gentle, medieval acoustic music with soprano vocals) in Similar Artists!

Oh, that's the other Ataraxia.

"...and Euronymous reportedly cooked and ate pieces of Dead's brain"

I'm pretty sure the Beatles got there first.

Actually, I just remembered, I got to do this bio. ;-)

Is there another one then? The Ataraxia linked in that AMG bio is the Italian ensemble I mentioned, this one.

(My sense of humor doesn't go over well on screen.)

Bad Andy! No biscuit!

It's great how every morbid joke any Mayhem member makes in interviews is picked up by enthusiastic biographers.
"I worked in a mental hospital" (that explains skribble skribble)
"Euronymous cooked Dead's brains" (how odd skribble skribble)
"I have a necklace with his skull fragments" (you don't say skribble skribble)
"I killed him because he was more evil than me" (oh my skribble skribble)
"Our drummer rerecorded Vikernes' bass tracks" (ah obviously skribble skribble)

biographers in writing down what musicians say SHOCKAH!

andy, you need to update that Mayhem bio:

See this NME news article today:

Norwegian death metal band MAYHEM were involved in one of the most bizarre rock accidents last night (March 9) when a flying sheep's head fractured a fan's skull.

Lead singer Maniac was carving up a dead sheep as part of the stage act in Bergen when the animal's head flew off, striking Per Kristian Hagen, 25.,,,

(hits head on table) Sorry, Andy...

In 1991, lead vocalist Dead "lived" up to his name when he committed suicide.

Best pun evah?

Ned, as his musical biographer, do you think it's true that Bill Clinton likes Peter Brotzmann?

― Matt B. (Matt B.), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 01:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

I have my doubts.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 02:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Haha Mayhem RULE!

― marcg (marcg), Thursday, 13 March 2003 20:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

― marcg (marcg), Thursday, 13 March 2003 20:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK, so it's not Mayhem.. which IS the best bio ever ... but continuing the thread ...

Jeez, a little skimpy with the stars there on the Eels.

Brian Austin Green

Marvelous.

I like the bio for The KLF.

"Still the Beaver (about a retarded 40-year-old named Theodore Cleaver). That same year, he also appeared on Growing Pains with that girl who was always vomiting. "

..Baaaahaaaaahaaaa!

It probably doesn't rate with some of the above, but I've always found the Mercury Rev bio pretty hilarious. Especially in contrast to their more sedate music of the past few years.
