I imagine there still is a scene, it's just not as strong as the early 90's.

Well I heard the story and got all confused. I was hoping someone on here would straighten this out for me.

What I know is:

- Varg killed Euronymous
- Varg was Mayhems old bassist

Varg killed Euronymous (sp?) because a fortune teller told Varg that Euronymous wanted to kill him, and then Euronymous caught on and wanted to kill Varg, but Varg got to him first. It was something like that, I dunno much about it.

and Euronymous was the one that ate Dead's brain right?

Somebody set me straight!!!

Formed around 1985 by Necrobutcher and guitarist Euronymous (born Oystein Aarseth), Mayhem was the first death metal band from Norway to make much of an impact in their homeland, which in the early '90s developed a burgeoning underground scene rife with violent, sometimes anti-Christian activity -- as evidenced by Mayhem's non-musical history. Drummer Hellhammer, who at one time worked in a mental hospital, is the only remaining member of the band's prime-period lineup. Lead vocalist Dead committed suicide in 1991 (two years after joining the band) by shooting himself in the head; Hellhammer made a necklace using some of his skull fragments, and Euronymous reportedly cooked and ate pieces of Dead's brain. Euronymous, in turn, was stabbed to death while in his underwear on August 10, 1993, by the band's bass player, Count Grishnackh (born Christian Vikernes). Grishnackh's alleged motive was jealousy over the fact that Euronymous had a more evil reputation; he inflicted 23 separate wounds, it was also rumored, so as to outdo rival band Emperor's drummer, Faust, who was convicted in the stabbing death of a homosexual acquaintance. When police arrested Grishnackh, they found over 150 kg of stolen dynamite in his house, complete with a plan to blow up a large church on a religious holiday. Grishnackh went on to pursue his electronic-influenced project Burzum while in prison; meanwhile, Euronymous' parents requested that his bass tracks be erased from Mayhem's 1994 album, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, (which featured session vocalist Attila Csihar). Still, thanks to growing worldwide interest in Norwegian death metal, Mayhem product has continued to appear on the shelves into the next century. Hellhammer also put together a new Mayhem lineup, which has toured sporadically. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

THAT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT!

Varg killed Euronymous because Euronymous was planning to kill him, because Varg was getting more media attention, and was making a fool out of Euronymous. So when Varg came to Euyonymous (Aarseth or something like that)'s apartment, Euronymous was planning to torture him and video tape it, and Euronymous was attacking him with a knife, but then I dunno what Varg did, but Euronymous ran off, and Varg as "future self defense" ran after him (not sure about running after him, but he isn't gonna walk, right?) and killed him, because if Euronymous tried it again, and was successfull, he would be dead. Varg is also in jail for stealing 150KG of explosives (which he did) and ALLEGEDLY burnt down churches (which he said he didnt) That's what I read anywyas.

Well it probably is bullshit considering I got it off of www.cdnow.com

but i dunno.
