Top Ten Most Disturbing Things Done by Black Metal Musicians

Both were scummy psychos who burnt down churches and wanted to spread hate. Seriously, imagine thinking that Varg was innocent. There's a reason why he got sentenced to 20 years in prison. I agree that Euronymous was a bad person, but what Varg did was not self defence. Chasing after someone and repeatedly stabbing them is homicide. Let's also not forget how he was a Neo Nazi at one point and planned to blow up a building.

"SELF-DEFENSE"? That's all well and good if he had proof of it.

Lmao... it was Validated Vengeance fueled by panic and fear. When you travel miles and miles to confront an estranged friend and then chase him around a staircase with a knife you brought with you, it can't be regarded as self defense. Not in the legal sense, anyway. Varg's "self-defense" story doesn't make much sense.

It's quite funny when the only "evidence" for his self-defense case is his story. Do people believe everything anyone tells you without evidence? Like... his friends told him "yo dude euronymous is gonna totally kill ya dawg" and he took it seriously, went to his house and killed him. Even his story makes no sense and is filled with obvious plot-holes. "My friends told me he was going to kill me so I went to his house and killed him" like just on their word? Plus all these holes about "I thought he had a gun", it just makes no ...more

So only black metal musicians have committed crimes.. Musicians of other genres never did?

And music is judged for the crimes of the person?

..This is fueled by the idea that it's the music behind the crimes rather than the mind of the individual.

Sad to see the lack of perspicacity in 2019.

The most infamous crime in black metal history. Black metal musician Varg Vikernes (Burzum), stabbed Euronymous, the guitarist of Mayhem, 23 times - 2 stabs to the head, five to the neck, sixteen to the back. The story behind the murder is a widely debated topic.

Faust from Emperor, stabbed a gay man 37 times, and the justification he gave in court was that the man "made a pass" at him.

The drummer of the band Emperor stabbed a gay man 37 times, for supposedly "making a pass at him".

To clear some things up, the band never intended to use it as an album cover. It was put as a cover for a bootleg live album by one of Euronymous's friends without the band's permission. So, the band members didn't actually make an album cover from the picture. Still messed up to take photos of a suicide, of course, but yeah, that part's false. And the part about him eating pieces of his brain/making necklaces is a rumor that is fake as well.

Mayhem's vocalist, Dead (yep, that was his name), committed suicide in the bands' house by slitting his wrists and shooting himself with a shotgun. His suicide note simply read "Excuse all the blood. Cheers."
On entering the house and finding Dead's dead body, what do you think Euronymous did? Call the cops? Pass out with shock? No! He pulled out a camera and clicked a picture of the corpse to use it as the band's next album cover.

Okay, that's just disgusting and disturbing. Why would you make a picture of a corpse and use it for an album cover?

One of the most vile and cruel things done in the history of music. Even if Varg murdered him, I'm kinda glad he did.

Two members of the band Absurd, murdered a 15 year old called Sandro Beyer. Sebastian Schausell, who was one of those two, says that he did it because he heard a voice in his head saying "tote Beyer", which translates to "Kill Beyer".

Gorgoroth performed a black mass in a concert in Krakow and used 80 liters of sheep's blood and displayed sheep heads on stakes. The band was charged by the police for "cruelty to animals".

That's messed up for real.

Gaahl, the vocalist of Gorgoroth, locked a man in his house and tortured him for several hours. According to the victim, Gaahl injured the man and collected his blood in a cup and then threatened the man that he would drink it.

One of the most violent concerts in history. A description would probably get this list deleted.

Violent black metal in its purest form.

What happened there I need to know!

The band Stalaggh abducted 7 mental patients from a mental institution for "guest vocals" on an album. They gathered the patients in an abandoned chapel and asked them to scream for several hours.

Are they even black metal though ?

But it turned out well.

Church burning are performed by black metal musicians and fans both. Over 50 churches have been destroyed, including some historically significant ones.
To end on a positive note, I hope people understand that not all of the metal community is like these people. The people mentioned in this list belong to the bare 2% of the total metal-heads and are universally frowned upon.

Seriously this is what "disturbs" others?
