On 8 April 1991, Mayhem vocalist Per Yngve "Pelle" Ohlin (aka 'Dead') committed suicide in a house shared by the band. Fellow musicians often described Ohlin as a quiet and introverted person, while his performances involved cutting himself, carrying around a dead crow, and wearing clothes that had been buried weeks prior to the event.
He was found with slit wrists and a shotgun wound to the head; the shotgun was owned by Mayhem guitarist Øystein Aarseth (aka 'Euronymous'). Ohlin's suicide note read "Excuse all the blood" and included an apology for firing the weapon indoors. Before calling the police, Aarseth went to a nearby store and bought a disposable camera to photograph the corpse, after re-arranging some items. One of these photographs was later stolen and used as the cover of this bootleg live album entitled Dawn of the Black Hearts.

  • @MsSeanct u mad bro? i think your jealous cus they rule more then you

  • Egyszer sétáltam az erdőben és találtam egy pelét, ami leesett a fáról. Én hülye fölvettem, pedig már a legyek is rászálltak. Elvittem egy állatorvoshoz, de egy nap múlva meghalt.

  • @smokingmcbongwater It seems like you would logically jump to the assumption that christian theology is bullshit just because you don't like christians. But this is ignorant, how do you know it doesn't exist ?. You have been around for about 100,000,000th the amount of time that the universe has been evolving, and you feel you some how have the credentials to discredit a 2000 year old religion ?. Stupid

  • @thepwningeggnog

    ive seen worse ! trust me!!

  • @MissJeanette69 it was one member of the band the rest of them hated him for it

  • @MegaMerdeux dude thats his fucking brains on the floor

  • I don't like the fact that they took a picture of Ohlin dead, and then use it. Come on, he was a weird creature just like everyone else in the bands from that time, but he doesn't deserve this. Euronymous was a dick for doing that. To me he could've done some more serious shit that Varg. He was Mayhem it's true, but dude he is the most fucked up person in that area...
