Ex Mayhem (Norwegian Death Metal) member arrested on suspicion of planning massacre

StormWarrior

Does anyone know if/when he's actually getting released from prison? Who thinks he should be let out?

smackbunnybaby

i think he was put away in 1994 for 21 years.
which would be 2015?
while on a weeks leave in 2004 he tried to not return and got an extra 13 months, so 2017 i think.

should be left out?
i dont know. is he still dangerous? probably

has he got anything to say when he does get out?
more than likely not

nacho libre

He'll always have something to say, the question is will it be worth hearing?

Probably not:pac:

I heard he was scheduled for early release in April 2008 but after his escape attempt his term was extended.

A racist, Norwegian heavy metal rock musician, linked to the mass murderer Anders Breivik was arrested in southern France because French authorities feared that he might be planning a “massacre”.

Kristian Vikernes, 40, best known by his stage name “Varg”, was arrested in the village of Salon la Tour in Corrèze.

Vikernes, who had served 15 years in jail in Norway for murdering another rock musician, might have been planning a “substantial act of terrorism”, the interior minister, Manuel Valls, said. Local police in southwestern France spoke of a possible “massacre”.

The interior ministry said that it had “intercepted violent comments” on messages transmitted by Vikernes on the internet.

Looks like there wasnt much accomplished in the way of rehabilitation. An ideal candidate for throwing away the key....

Did you bother to even read that before your key-throwing comment?


His wife, a member of a local gun club, legally purchased 4 firearms. That's why he was arrested. It's absolute rubbish.

Frickin' nutter.

The good old 'Judeo-Christian conspiracy' once again?

No wonder, Henrik Moebus started the 'Free Grishnakh' campaign, he will revamp it, I suppose. Nutcases

Grid.

Was he behind the burning of stave churches in Norway a few years ago??

Lawrence1895

He was with Burzum, but never mind

Just waiting for the 'Free Grishnakh' campaign to be re-launched by Henrik Moebus and other nutcases

There were quite a few behind it.. He was convicted of arson in the case of four churches though.

I did of course. That's why I thought it worthwhile resurrecting a zombie thread.

The main charge was murdering Euronymus (Ex Mayhem)

endacl

The main charge should have been terminal arseholery.

Just in case folks aren't familiar with the dickhead in question, here's part 1...

Yeah, Hendrik Moebus has been fairly active over the last few months after years a few years of keeping low profile.

Here's a fairly interesting interview (in German, sorry!) that he did in January:

Lawrence1895

I have no idea, what radio station that is, must be from East Germany, given the dialect of the guy who does the interview. But they play stuff on their website, which come somewhat close to NSBM

This is fcukin nuts

.. well I stayed away from the black metal, although you can't say they didn't have their convictions. Other bands play but burzum kill.

why is sky news using a photo of him from how long ago. It is bad press for metal regardless, just like I felt when I first heard mayhem or whatever.

Hallyington

Interesting to see how this will play out in the coming weeks.

Who knows what he has planned, or maybe he wasn't planning anything, we've yet to see..

French police probably just found the letter that Anders Breivik sent him (whom Varg denounced) and a couple of personal rifles and jumped to the conclusion that he was plotting a terrorist attack. There's nothing to convince that he was actually up to something.

And combined with his neo nazi-isms he would be even more deemed as an influence, so they are not letting him lie easy and I would say he is heavily monitored regardless

I would say when they saw his wife purchasing 4 rifles albeit legally it may have raised some alarm bells whether justified or not.

"Norwegian death metal"?? Just about sums up the thread.

Well aren't you a treat.

This is Varg's opinion on it.
http://www.antimusic.com/news/13/July/22Varg_Vikernes_Speaks_Out_About_Terrorism_Arrest.shtml

Burzum mastermind Kristian "Varg" Vikernes posted a lengthy five part blog online over the weekend addressing his and his wife's recent arrest in France for suspicion of planning a terrorist attack.

Vikernes was sentenced to 21 years in prison for the 1993 murder of Mayhem guitarist Øystein 'Euronymous' Aarseth and church burnings but was released early in 2009, according to Euronews. He and his wife were arrested, and later released, last week after his wife legally purchased four riffles.

After his release late last week, Vikernes posted a series of blog posts about the arrest. Here is part one: "Tuesday I woke up a bit earlier than I normally do. Yes, I normally wake up because the dog wants to take a leak on our lawn, around 7:00, but this morning I woke up because of a loud bang. I more or less jumped out of bed and saw that somebody was breaking into our home. Thankfully I immediately saw that it was actually the police, so I did not reach for any means of defence, and instead just raised my arms and waited for the police to enter. 'Ah, it's just the police'. My second thought was 'What on Earth are they up to? Are they actually smashing our entire entrance area just because of my blog?' I was not sure whether or not they were shooting into our living room or actually flashbanging our living room. After a total of three explosiones (that later turned out to be gun shots) and a lot of breaking of glass and door frames they entered.

"My pregnant wife, not yet aware that it was actually the police, tried to cover our youngest son and — she told me later — was about to reach for her 22 LR Browning lever action rifle, when she understood from my reaction that it was the police. Our youngest son, who was sleeping in our bed during that night (because my mother-in-law was visiting), and was therefore directly behind me and in front of the muzzles of the police's assault rifles.

"Sorry to digress, but some times when you buy underwear you get three underpants in one package, and for some reason at least one of these are always in some horrible colour, and of course I was wearing such a pair of underpants on Thuesday morning. A pair of strikingly orange underpants. Having been repeatedly dragged out into the street or prison hallways or similar in my underwear before, by the Norwegian police or prison guards, I thought to myself that this was going to repeat itself and I would be photographed with my little belly, my thin hair, my tanned arms in great contrast to my pale body and — wearing horribly orange underpants. (Everybody would believe that I was actually Dutch…)

"When I had completed my little intelligent string of thoughts, about orange underpants and everything, the police had climbed the staircase and — simply put — arrested me, laying me face down in the bed with hand cuffs on my back. To my great surprise they also arrested and put hand cuffs on my pregnant wife, leaving my shocked youngest son sitting there alone without his mother's protection. A whole lot of DCRI police officers in civil clothes arrived and the apparent chief said 'Yes, that is Vikernes'.

"Now, thankfully my mother-in-law was there, to take care of our children, so I was not so worried about that part. I heard them talking and her trying to calm the children down. I was — to my great surprise — allowed to put on some clothes, I was told that we were suspected of having committed or preparring to committ an act of terrorism, and was held in custody whilst the police in civil clothes went through our things in the office. All in all, throughout our house, they confiscated books, ammo and 5 spare rifle magazines, PCs, USB pens, hard-discs, a 222 Remington CZ 527 bolt-action rifle, a 22 LR CZ 457 bolt-action rifle, a 22 LR Browning lever-action rifle and a side-by-side 12 gauge Bajkal shotgun, an air rifle, two air-soft rifles, hunting knives, survival knives, three crossbows with bolts, a gladius, a seax and two spears. They checked the entire house and the property too with dogs, but — of course — found nothing. They also found all the receipts for all the rifles and ammo, and my wife's permission to own these firearms.

"They did not take my wife's hunting magazine, any of our books about camping, our fishing equipment, our first aid books, our cantines, or any other hunting, survivalism or camping equipment. (…)

"After that I was brought back into the living room and saw that my youngest son had thrown up in his grand mother's arms, and I understood that he was very shaken. The police action was obviously a bit too dramatic for a 3,5 year-old boy. She was trying to comfort him. Apparently things weren't going so well with the kids after all. His pregnant mother was placed in front of the children on a chair with hand cuffs on, bleeding from her nose.

"Outside there were cars parked all over our front lawn and there were DCRI policemen everywhere. I had a hood placed over my head and was quickly placed inside a car along with half the SWAT team. My wife was placed in the car behind with the other half of the SWAT team. The two cars left the property and drove very fast towards the high way, and continued in around 160-170 km per hour on the high way, to Brive. The police professionally maneuvred the car through the traffic, and we arrived safely in Brive. We were both placed in different holding cells. I knew that they had had no reason whatsoever to charge any of us for 'terrorism', but I had my bad experiences with the Norwegian police freshly in my mind. Would the French police too fabricated evidence? Would they too lie? Would they too plant evidence? Would they too keep me locked up for almost a year before they would let me stand before a political court and go through some mock trial? I did not yet know, so I was worried. Unfortunately my wife was apparently involved too, and my three children were left there to wait for our return."

As much as I disagree with his politics, the man raises a valid point.
