Murder, Satanism and Church Burnings; the True Story Behind the Origin of Norwegian Black Metal

A Grim Discovery

Euronymous was away for a week on holiday, visiting his family. When he returned to his house in the woods, he found Dead’s lifeless body. Dead had been so deeply disturbed, so incredibly depressed and disconnected, that he had taken his own life with a shotgun. Euronymous was immediately sick when he discovered his friend. Then, for reasons unknown, Euronymous posed Dead’s body for a photograph and snapped a picture of the scene.
