Tonight / History What to Wear to Mayhem?
Posted by Kelly O on Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 4:44 PM
Is anyone else wondering what they should wear to Mayhem tonight? I mean, I know it's 25 years later, and the band doesn't look like THIS, they look like THIS... but it's still real-deal Norwegian black metal, right? They're still a band who once hospitalized a fan with a flying sheep's head... a band that once had a singer named Per Yngve Ohlin, aka "Dead"...
...who killed himself by first slitting his wrists, then shooting himself in the forehead with a shotgun, only to be discovered by a bandmate who photographed his corpse with a cheap disposable camera (after, uh, re-arranging a few things, and taking a few skull fragments to make necklaces), then one of these same cheap disposable camera photos would be later "stolen" and end up on bootleg copy of Mayhem's Dawn of the Black Hearts album.
Shoo. I guess it's safe to say I should wear black.
