Inner circle & Euronymous

Inner circle is the name given to him by the Norwegian press to a group of people (mostly friends) related to black metal music whose aim was to eradicate Christianity in Norway and organizing bands of the genre that arose sharing an ideology and pagan Viking . Some members also were Satanic, mainly for his hatred of the Christian church. The inner circle was mainly satanic, but after the appearance of characters like Varg Vikernes many followers went to Odin.

It was composed by members of the first Norwegian black metal bands like Mayhem, BURZUM, Darkthrone and Emperor, and by some followers. You could focus its existence active during the early years of the 90, although many of the bands continue playing until today. They were responsible for the burning of several churches, 22 in total (one firefighter died in one of these fires) and other acts of vandalism and desecration of cemeteries minor. The burnt remains of one of these churches served as cover for the EP aske (1993) group BURZUM.

The most recognizable characters in this group were guitarist Mayhem, Euronymous (euronymous) and Count Grishnack (only member of BURZUM, whose real name is Varg Vikernes, which is more recognized).


We are in Norway, the Scandinavian peninsula, a country with few hours of light and a climate wild (very cold winters in which almost all day the sun rises not), which affects the nature and behavior of its inhabitants . In fact, it suffices to say that Norway is the country with the highest record of suicides, ... It is hard to believe that in a country as civilized as this might eventually emerge this outbreak of violence, intolerance and savagery as happened with the case Inner Circle, where satanismo Black Metal came to an end more radical and dangerous at the beginning of the decade of 90. The story begins in Oslo (Norway's capital) when a couple called Headbanger Oystein Aarsethu, Venom fan (his favorite group), and Hellhammer Bathory, and very interested in the topic of satanismo decides self-nicknamed Euronymous, in a tribute fearsome demon of Scandinavian culture, which according to legend, had blue skin, ate human flesh (especially children ),... The couple Euronymous, having worked in a record shop in Oslo along with two types, mounted his own record shop, Helvetica (which in Norwegian means something like "hell", a record shop specializing in Black Metal, located cuchitril old and humid in the suburbs of Oslo. A few fans flocked Helvetica Black Metal, that established friendship with Euronymous. The business is not going badly; Euronymous decided to found his own record label, Deathlike Silence Productions, a label that specializes in Black Metal, which had its offices mounted on the existence Helvetica. The first album that was edited debut Mercyless, called "The Awakening", and that worked quite well to be an underground banda (2000 copies). Seeing the success of Merciless , Euronymous, who according to those who knew him was a egolatría be, envious and ambitious, decided to found his own banda of which he would guitarist. Back in 1984 mounted his group, which called Mayhem, echoing the theme of Venom, " Mayhem With Mercy. "In fact, he stated that the greatest musical influence Mayhem were the first three discs of Venom. For this project recruited the bassist Necrobutcher (whose real name was Jon Stubberud), drummer and a vocalist Manheim nicknamed Messiah. They recorded models "Voices Of A Tortured Skull" (1986) and shortly thereafter "Pure Fucking Armaggedon," both with a disastrous production, but models in which he was clearly the "talent" and Euronymous cía., Which like other Black Metal bands, wore the face maquillan en white and black, I'm Al King Diamond, very terrifying and satanic. Today, despite the ominous sound, these demos are real pieces of worship. Due to the conflicts that had to leader of the group, Messiah leaves the group, being replaced by a talented young man named Sven Eric Kristiansen, better known as Maniac, a character with plenty of mental problems. This training will record its first LP in 1987, brutalísimo "Deathcrush" which won a discreet success. Still, critics said the disc: "In this disc are the most brutal riffs of history, only heard by lost souls." The fact is that after this work, Maniac and Manheim Mayhem leaving, being replaced by the great vocalist Dead, whose real name was Per Ingwe Ohlin, former singer of the group Morbid, and the couple battery Hellhammer. This formation recorded a new job, the live disc "Live At Leipzig," published in 1990. The famous Norwegian journalist Metalion recalled: "The first concert I saw was in Mayhem Jesseim in 1989, but in 1990 I organized a show in Sarpsborg, where I lived. It was bestial. Euronymous wanted a show very extreme, with a lot of blood and lots of makeup. Remembrance Dead is that Raj shirt with a broken glass bottle. The music was deadly ...". Helvetica, in the early 90 was already a popular place where young people are dropping Black Metal fans, and concerned by the satanismo disturbed by the personality of Euronymous. This is where begins the Inner Circle, an organized group founded by himself Euronymous whose mission was to eradicate Christianity in Norway (whom they considered their greatest enemy) and re cults Vikings, forgotten by time and eradicated in turn by Christianity. Also, like Bathory, the Inner Circle proclaimed superiority of the Aryan race (for themselves the Aryans, this race, in theory higher, were the Norwegians) and a hatred of others races, particularly Jews and the Swedes.

But the essence of pure and hard this crew was placed next to Satan, and therefore support anything that might seem diabolical, evil, unethical and abhorrent. The driving force behind this philosophy was hatred. Indeed, the Inner Circle was responsible for controlling all groups of Black Metal from Norway, and if they were not sufficiently Satanic, and Euronymous cía. were responsible for death threats, stalking, or caerles to coñazos ... According Euronymous, Inner circle was: "We are a group of militants that we are dealing with things that need to be addressed." This organization has received other names besides Inner Circle, names like Black Metal Mafia, Black Militia, Black Metal Circle, Satanic Terrorists ... and consisted of young people who round by Swiss, as well as members of Black Metal bands as Emperor, Dark and Immortal Throne. As the battery recalls Emperor, Bard "Faust" Eithun, (and also an employee of Swiss during a season): "For me, those days were very special. The shop was a meeting point for many people. Our feeling around the shop of Euronymous was that we were all together in the fight against all religions that had organized in Norway. The plan was to build an organization that acts in their illegal activities. We had a friend who lived nearby and we could obtain enough weapons .. .. "

The "era of terror"

From its base in hell, Euronymous was placed as the leader of the scene. It was a kind essentially evil, differentiating the deceased Dead, whose emotional tendencies were more depressed. Euronymous often expressed the hope that the Black Metal incite young people to violence, devised methods of torture, carried out conferences, where exposed "how the pain scare victims." "It was an exciting period" - says Samoth, the guitarist of Emperor - "spend as much time talking about our hatred for Christianity and how to get religion Viking again." All Inner Circle disdained the glorification of the weakness of Christianity, that sympathy for the sick and needy. So we developed a plan to destroy the pride and glory of Norway, its old wooden churches, to remind people that even were "sons of Odin".

And the action begins: 22 churches, some dating from medieval times, were destroyed during the war four years in developed by the Inner circle. On August 6, 1992, the church Fanttoft burned completely. A few weeks later also Hollmenkollen of the fire. And in September burns Skojold the Church. Another main character of the plot, the only member of BURZUM, Varg Vikernes, who was called Count Grishnack, admitted his involvement in the fires, but released for lack of evidence.

The Final

The relationship between Varg Vikernes and Euronymous deteriorated. On August 11, 1993, in a dispute between them and which also was present Snorre (Panellist Blackthorne), Vikernes stabbed 23 times to Euronymous causing death. Vikernes claimed that it did so in self defense because he assured that Euronymous intended to kill him.

Are not known with certainty the reasons for the murder, it seems that disputes over the distribution of the discs BURZUM and the remuneration of them began to gestar hatred between the two, which eventually led fateful end this killing. He was sentenced to 21 years in prison for manslaughter and he also attributed the burning of several churches. The police investigation decided to deepen in all events related and was finally resolved several outstanding cases by burning churches. The Inner cycle was completed by these judicial event, with many members imprisoned or related investigated, as Samoth and Faust (group members Emperor) who also went to jail, the first by the burning of churches and Faust by the murder of a homosexual. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison for murdering a man in Lillehammer. In an interview unveils details of the killing. In August this year, Faust was contemplating the Olympic Stadium in Lillehammer, when a man approached him and asked him if he wanted to go with him to the forest. "I had not been drinking or anything like that. Simply decided, with great calm, ending the life of this man. Maybe my subconscious told me that he was entitled to do so because he was gay." Faust agreed and was followed inside the forest. When the rate approached him, pulled out a knife and was nailed in the womb. "El Grito No!, But I came back I went crazy and stabbed again and again. When he was on the floor with eyes closed, I gave him a kick to asegurame that really was dead. After I returned home with the mind completely white, like a zombie. " This murder, but guilty earlier, was not discovered until after that of Euronymous, when police decided to investigate to what extent the Black Metal could have influenced and conducted extensive interviews in which he discovered those responsible for fires among other churches crowd offences. However continued producing burnings of churches even in other countries, thereby showing that was not due to any organization, if not, rather, a stream of anti-Christian thought.

Vikernes said in an interview in prison that he did not want to be associated with new bands of black metal. His racist ideology leads him to Norway to promote a pure free from the influence of other races, and hatred of Christianity and Judaism. He feels admiration for the culture associated with the old Nordic gods like Odin, and cults and pagan Vikings. In 2003 he escaped from prison, but was captured and his sentence increased by 14 months.

Key members belonging to the Inner Circle:Mayhem,Burzum,Darkthrone,Emperor.

De acu ininte pe data de 10-8 voi face un concert doar cu trupe de black metal ,numit "In The Memory Of"

Øystein Aarseth (22 martie 1968 – 10 august 1993) a fost chitarist în notoria formaţie norvegiană de black metal Mayhem, sub pseudonimul Euronymous. A fost de asemenea fondatorul şi proprietarul Deathlike Silence, propria sa casă de discuri pentru formaţiile underground de black metal.


Aarseth s-a alăturat celor de la Mayhem în 1984. La acea vreme folosea numele de scenă "Destructor". După ce a fost primit în trupă (care era constituită din Jorn Stubberud la bas şi Kjetil Manheim la tobe) şi-a schimbat pseudonimul în Euronymous, despre care susţinea că semnifică "prinţul morţii" în limba greacă, dar care de fapt deriva dintr-o referire la demonul grecesc Euronymous în Biblia Satanică. Atitudinea pro Satan a lui Aarseth în formaţie a avut un efect profund asupra membrilor săi şi asupra scenei norvegiene de black metal în general. În scurt timp a devenit un om de bază a scenei de black metal. A deschis un magazin de muzică numit Helvete (sau "Iad" în norvegiană) şi propria sa casă de discuri, Deathlike Silence. Când vocalistul de la Mayhem, Dead, s-a sinucis, Euronymous a descoperit cadavrul şi a făcut fotografii, care au fost folosite mai târziu (fără acordul său) pentru coperta unui bootleg. De asemenea, multă lume crede că Euronymous a mâncat o parte din creierul lui Dead şi a realizat un medalion cu fragmente din craniul acestuia.

Într-un interviu recent, Hellhammer a susţinut că medalionul a fost furat în timpul unui turneu. Se crede însă ca formaţia de black metal Marduk deţine alte piese mai mici. It de la Abruptum susţine că mai are câteva mici fragmente.
În 1993, Øystein Aarseth a fost înjunghiat mortal de către Varg Vikernes (care era cunoscut la acea vreme sub pseudonimul "Contele Grishnackh"). Conform raportului oficial, el a fost înjunghiat de 23 de ori: de două ori la cap, de cinci ori în gât, şi de şaisprezece ori în spate. Totuşi, Vikernes contrazice aceasta, spunând că Aarseth a căzut pe nişte cioburi de sticlă în timp ce fugea, ceea ce ar explica numărul mare de răni la spate. Există numeroase speculaţii referitoare la motivul crimei, dar Vikernes a susţinut că fapta sa a fost motivată în mare parte de autoapărare.

După moartea lui Aarseth, Mayhem a continuat înregistrarea următorului album, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas. Totuşi, mama lui Euronymous i-a cerut lui Hellhammer, bateristul Mayhem, să înlăture partea de bass, înregistrată de către Varg. El i-a spus că o să se ocupe personal de reînregistrarea liniei de bass, dar adevărul este că nu avea idee cum, aşa că albumul a rămas acelaşi. Alte zvonuri despre Occultus, fostul vocalist al Mayhem, interpretând noile porţiuni de bass sunt, de asemenea, probabil false.

Ah ce misto piatra funerara are 8->

the day burzum kill mayhem in afara faptului ca nu'mi place mayhem ca muzik,dar ca istorie tot respectul meu si e f amuzant cand te gandesti la faza ca ma'sa lu Euronymous i'a spus sa inchid magazinul helvete si a 2 zi la inchis

omul nu mai depindea deloc de parinti, dar a facut asta... nu inteleg...

Nu cred aberatiile puscariasului ~_~. Nu stiti ca pentru Vikernes adevaru e ceva relativ XD.
Din declaratiile celor implicati in scena in perioada respectiva reiese ca Euronymous era nervos fiindca Varg atragea prea multa atentie asupra fenomenului, si dupa ce a acordat acel interviu s-a simtit nevoit sa inchida Helvete, dar nu precizeaza nimeni ca la comanda parintilor lui. Si nici nu-mi pot imagina de unde a aflat Vikernes informatia asta, nu cred ca i-a zis Euronymous "ba, o zis mama sa inchid magazinu fiindca nu vrea politisti la usa ei ><". Mie-mi suna a incercare patetica de a-i compromite imaginea :/

PS: Nu sunt fanul numaru unu Euronymous ><, nici 35 sau alt numar :/

Avand in vedere ca Vikernes a spus asta...

In memoria lui Euronymous pe data de 10 -8 - 2009 voi da un concert care se va numi

In The Memory Of

Va fi un concert numai cu trupe de black metal

Ah Oo ne-ai mai zis ... si cu ce planuiesti sa faci asta? :/
