Count Grishnackh, free man. Please stay in Norway.
Exclaim reports that infamous Norwegian black metaller Varg Vikernes, otherwise known as Count Grishnackh, has been released from prison. The Burzum mastermind, a notorious wackjob, famously murdered his Mayhem bandmate Øystein “Euronymous” Aarseth in 1993. When a Norwegian judge sentenced him to 21 years in prison for that murder and for other crimes, he smiled. In prison, he recorded a ton of suffocatingly grim and scarily weird Burzum albums and tried to escape in 2003. After serving 16 years of his sentence, he’s out. If you see him walking toward you on the street, maybe cross to the other side.
To me, one of the most screwed-up parts of the story is that, apparently, in Norway you can kill somebody and only get 16 years in prison. And that includes a freebie escape attempt. If you wanna kill some time (see that, kill? ha ha) search this dude’s name on YouTube. Lots of weird shit to gawk at.

heh I did a research paper back in school once on Black Metal and covered this dude as part of that, also went on a black metal music listening spree, most of them sound like old grandmas being hacked to death…I switched my subject to cannibalism shortly thereafter.

Lets see killed his band mate burned down some churches…..
Still kinda tame when the other guy ate his friends brain and took pics and put it on an album cover.
pretty hardcore.
But you gotta do something when you music is fucking horrible. and you live in place like Norway fuck that , it pisses me off when it snows here. I’d burn a church down too if all the music sucked and it was that cold….i’d burn it down and get in there….

It’s the same in Sweden… I know, it’s fucked up.

I’m not so “hardcore” devoted to the scene that I would want someone to shank Varg right outside of prison, but c’mon… Dude seriously needs a few kicks to the junk. I mean, murder’s bad enough. Burning ancient churches, that’s not something that’s “good behavior”, either. But for being an ignorant National Socialist Party dick ALONE deserves some ball-kicking marathons.

Ugh… I can’t believe they actually let the count go free.

16 years is hars after Norwegian standards. you can get like 3 years. 10-16 years is normal, and then your out afther 5-7years. one prison year is 9 months.
I tink its great!
