In any case, the pressing mistake is a great example of Mayhem’s ability to make lemonade from lemons. The EP is known for the first edition’s bright pink sleeve, which came about as a result of either the malice or the negligence of a Dutch company. The group’s name is borrowed from Mayhem’s song and EP 1987 EP by the same name. During the documentary Det Svarte Alvor (1994), Hellhammer alleged that “Freezing Moon” “is supposed to make people listen to the song and commit suicide” after emphasizing that “He was a pretty special man.” During an interview for Slayer Mag, Dead, on the other hand, simply told Evil from Ma rduk: “Mostly they deal with how I feel when I wrote them.” Although the 22-year-old Swede committed suicide on April 8th, 1991, the innovator and muse forever altered Mayhem’s essence as well as the course of black metal as a whole.īefore Gaahl’s “Freezing Moon,” Mayhem was so kind as to remain seated for the duration of a rather off-beat cover of “Chainsaw Gutsfuck” by an Oslo-based “no wave,” noise duo called Deathcrush. Live in Leipzig (1993), which was recorded in 1990, is another great example of “Freezing Moon” with Pelle’s vocals. Mayhem released Pelle’s “Freezing Moon” and “Carnage” as a single in 1996. It included Pelle’s ex- Morbid Lars-Göran Petrov and Ulf Cederlund in Entombed as well as his friend Thomas Lindberg in Grotesque. Pelle’s studio version was released with “Carnage” as part of a compilation album some time in 1991 by the Swedish label CBR. This one-off supergroup rendition is especially meaningful in light of the fact that the lyrics to “Freezing Moon” were written by Mayhem’s former vocalist “Dead,” Per Yngve “Pelle” Ohlin, in 1988. Varg, however, has alleged that Snorre simply wanted to show Euronymous his riffs.) Sadly, Snorre would be arrested instead for driving with Varg Vikernes to Oslo where his companion would kill Euronymous. (Snorre, who once acted as a second guitarist for Mayhem, almost became a permanent member of the band in the ’90s. The ex- Gorgoroth singer is joined by Cadaver’s Anders Odden, Emperor’s Samoth and Trym Torson, as well as Thorns’ Snorre Ruch, who created some of the riffs for De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (1994), rearranged the lyrics into songs, and rehearsed the songs with Attila. Gaahl, who is also a gallery owner and painter, certainly has the spellbinding stage presence of a true artist. Mayhem’s four instrumentalists watched an all-star lineup perform their classic song “Freezing Moon.” You can see Teloch snap a few photos on his iPhone while Gaahl steals the show in the video below. The group’s Hungarian-born vocalist, Attila Csihar, was absent, however. Since Mayhem was formed in Ski in 1984, they have arguably become the most revered black metal band of all-time.Īt the induction ceremony, Necrobutcher was accompanied by his current bandmates - guitarist “Ghul,” the British-born Charles Hedger guitarist “Teloch,” Morten Bergeton Iversen and drummer “Hellhammer,” Jan Axel Blomberg, who has been a member of Mayhem since 1988. It has even been said that modern Norwegian diplomats sometimes study the rudimentary history of black metal in order to better fulfill their job descriptions. Yet, this is actually a claim that is made quite frequently. (“Necrobutcher,” Jørn Stubberud - Mayhem’s bassist and co-founder has known Seltzer since 1983.) Seltzer’s statement that Mayhem is perhaps Norway’s biggest cultural export since Hamsun, Grieg, and Munch may sound like bombastic flattery. The show was hosted by the American-born musician Thomas Seltzer, a.k.a. The events were first aired in the form of a 60-minute program on the evening of December 29th (CET) on NRK1 - the main television channel of the government-owned Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation.
