if you've been keeping up with your online news, you've probly read about the concert in Oslo where a fan was struck in the head by a sheep's head, fracturing his skull (the fan's, not the sheep's). during Mayhem's performance, lead singer Maniac was slice 'n dicing a dead sheep onstage, when the critter's head got airborne and collided with Per Kristian Hagen's freaky head bangin' noodle. the band has promised him a free ticket to their next show, and the victim was quoted as saying, among other things, "my head hurts now." ah, metalheads and their profundity!!
of course, i prefer the band's history - lead singer Dead committed suicide in 1991, and his bandmates fashioned a necklace out of his fractured skull (Hellhammer, drummer) and reportedly cooked and ate his brains (Euronymous, guitarist). then in 1993, Euronymous was stabbed to death by bass player Count Grishnackh, who was jealous of the guitar player's more "evil" reputation.
sweet baby jesus on toast, black metal people. what the fuck is wrong with you???

here are the lyrics to their song The Freezing Moon, written by the appropriately named Dead in 1988 (note its irrefutable resemblance to goth poetry):
Everything here is so cold
Everything here is so dark
I remember it as from a dream
In the corner of this time
Diabolic Shapes float by
Out from the dark
I remember it was here I died
By following the freezing moon
It's night again, night you beautiful
I please my hunger on living humans
Night of hunger, follow it's call
Follow the freezing moon
Darkness is growing, the eternity opens
The cemetary lights up again
As in ancient times
Fallen souls, die behind my steps
by following the freezing moon

if, for whatever reason, you may want to sample the band's music, you can do so here
