This is coming up today because there are a lot of zines' and publications coming out printing books and stuff with these stories of Heavy Metal and the Norway Black Metal scene etc.
When you read these books and publications some are filled with errors or mis-compilied with wrong information.
The main topic here is Mayhem and Varg Vikernes www.burzum.org and the Norway Black Metal Murders in 1993 I think and the movie "Lords Of Chaos".
Back in the early 1990's before Burzum, Immoral and the Norway Black Metal scene Varg Vikernes and members of Immortal, Abbath I think, were in a Death Metal band and played music like the band Carcass called Old Funeral.
In the magazines back then I remember Old Funeral was billed as a "child super group" or something and played Carcass like material when they were teenagers or something, that was also back when I was in Junior High School just a few years before I started making Death Metal demos for my band.
In fact, my demos and bands like Old Funeral were on the legendary "tape trade list" back in those days in the early to mid 1990's when I was a teenager.
In Canada I had all the magazines, demos, zines' and albums just like everyone else so I have a clear picture of the whole story.
The point here is all the members quit and a few people and bands kept going to get past the demo stage like myself and bands like Old Funeral which became Mayhem, Burzum and Immortal.
I try to make my topics clear on this blog and get to the main points to save you from reading through countless pages to get to the good part later in the story because I have lots of topics.
My point here is my demos recorded around 1995-1996 went out to all the labels and zines' at the time and I played with members of the band Inner Thought from Toronto who was also the band Slaughter / Death.
I just want to point out here that I was running a production back then in High School in the early- mid 1990's, today that is Collapse and Forward Regression Records.
Back then the labels were Black Mark Records offices in Toronto, Witchhunt Records from Zurich Switzerland and Dwell Records from Los Angeles, California and Cargo Records in Montreal.
Like this, my production did demos back then for that group of labels...Witchhunt Records.
Other bands like Old Funeral went on to become Norway Black Metal bands like Mayhem, Immortal and Burzum and some of those bands were released on Witchhunt Records who released Anathema, Inner Thought, Nocturnus, Darkthrone, Enslaved, Impaled Nazarene, Marduk, Vader, Sinister and many others.
So my connection to Norway Black Metal people ask is I was the demo bands from my studio production here in Canada that was submitting to labels like Witchhunt Records...theirs like Old Funeral became bands like Burzum and Immortal.
Other Norway Black Metal bands from those same demo days were or became Darkthrone and Enslaved from Norway and released on Witchhunt Records.
I was playing with those bands through Witchhunt Records connections with the band Inner Thought who was also released on Witchhunt Records with Darkthrone and Enslaved.
Here is what happened, yeah I was one of those teenage super bands back in High School sending demos to Witchhunt Records and them...that band is Collapse today.
Back then at that time period all my band members quit, and my band ended...other bands from those demo days went on to be Darkthrone and Enslaved and kept playing.
Then that group of labels closed by the year 2000 and their Montreal and Toronto Offices from Black Mark Records,Bathory, shut down.
All the Toronto bands folded like Slaughter and Inner Thought but however before that happened they got back together and did a few more songs and demos for Dwell Records / Witchhunt and then quit.
The point here is I played with the people from Slaughter / Inner Thought group from their larger record that was released on Witchhunt Records and Dwell Records in Los Angeles.
That was the people on my production in the mid 1990's on that record, after that all those people quit music from the larger Inner Thought album that I also played with and then they got back together with their original members of Slaughter and Inner Thought for a few more songs and then they folded.
Bands like Immortal, Darkthrone and Enslaved kept playing.
My band production in the mid 1990s, I was running and paying for all the recording and doing the song writing etc. back then, all that was on that group of people we did demos for all those labels and that was getting signed but everyone quit by 1997.
Black Mark Records, Cargo Records and Witchhhunt Records and all their offices closed, everyone quit and all the Toronto bands shut down.
That was the end of them, they never came back.
Other bands from Dwell Records and Witchhunt Records became bands like Darkthrone and Enslaved that are out today.
Dwell Records from Los Angeles in fact kept going for several years after that but stopped issuing albums and switched to only doing compilation albums of Death and Black metal bands to cover songs and releasing mainly only tribute albums before they closed.
After the days of Old Funeral in the old magazines and the Norway Black Metal Murders all those bands became the Norway Black Metal scene that started at labels like Witchhunt Records with the bands Darkthrone and Enslaved.
They all became other people and bands and all the labels closed around Black Mark Records etc.
Then my band members quit at that time in the late 1990's and I didn't continue to submit demos to the Witchhunt Records group of labels after that.
During that period around 1998 to the early 2000's I went to work for the Mainstream Record Companies in the A&A Records and Sam The Record Man category like in the retail store and out back in the warehouse.
What happened was after I stopped doing demos I went to work in the music industry, then I was working on the distribution here in Canada for retail stores and I was setting up the Heavy Metal section for the retail store here in Canada and was working with Sony and them out back and I started carrying Mayhem, Immortal and Darkthrone in our store over here.
So I switched from doing demos to carrying all the bands from Dwell and Witchhunt in the retail stores, before that the stores had no heavy metal section.
I'm talking about the initial setup of the Heavy Metal Section over here in Canada in mainstream record stores outside of large city areas.
We started carrying heavy metal in the smaller stores and part of my job was building the Heavy Metal section and the label contact at the store for bands not on Sony.
My job was to find bands from small labels like Candlelight Records and Plastic Head Distribution and stock them in the independent music section because the company was looking to build it's independent music section.
I started carrying stuff like Mayhem, Immortal and Darkthrone as well as Venom and Death Metal bands and then we were setting up the stores computer for all the other locations to have access to those labels, so they were at my distribution section first and we set them up with the smaller labels like Plastic Head and then they were available in their other retail locations.
So I was working on the retail distribution section for independent heavy metal labels that carried bands like Mayhem and Immortal, which were all $35 import cds at the time Canadian, after Cargo Records and them closed and the larger Music Chain Stores picked up the independent heavy metal section in Canada.
This is becoming a long topic.
After this I wanted to start my own record label and I left the retail music industry I went to University and at that time I restarted my band which is Collapse.
When I graduated the record I made in University "Collapse - Destroying By Design" was released on Great White North Records, Sonic Unyon and The End Records (BMG today).
So I had continued my music production while in University after everyone quit music from the 1990s I knew and then I stopped distributing Mayhem and Immortal at that time here in Canada at the record store where I worked.
After I graduated I was working on Stock Market Compliance for the Toronto Stock Exchange and doing my Project Management Certification Hours from my Degree and was starting a Record Label.
Then we started Touring and Releasing albums with bands like Dying Fetus and them while on Great White North Records.
Then the bullshit started and then I was attacked in a home invasion at my house.
My record came out in 2006 on Great White North Records and then I got ripped off and it closed.
Two years in later in 2008 I was attacked attacked at my house by the same people.
I took my record back from Great White North Records and bought their business names, which I now run as tribute pages to the original production, BMG bought the rest of it at The End Records..I kept the label name and my record.
At the attack at my house I was charged and was found not guilty because my actions were self defense.
Now after all that text I can tell you the story.
The context here I want to show you is I was the demo bands with Darkthrone and them on Witchhunt...then I was distributing their albums retail here in Canada.
In Norway Old Funeral, Varg, joined Mayhem....he had money and could play every instrument.
Euronymous had the Record Label and band connections, they fought over the label etc.
After Euronymous was killed Varg and the rest of the Norway Back Metal bands split his production to put out Immortal, Emperor, Enslaved, Darkthrone and them.
---------
The people bothering me in 2008 were following me around since the mid 1990s on my old band production and my new one I made when I was in University.
Those people were not my friends.
They were band people and musicians.
This is important - it turns out that the people who assaulted me were all trying to live off me in the North End of Halifax, Quebec and Vancouver Canada.
They said they were down at my house learning how to play Death Metal because I was teaching them how to play for the record.
Then this was only a "business deal" for a record release.
It turns out they were all saying they were my "rivals" and were only trying to play on my record in order to find out how I was doing my production and steal my studio work like my cd layouts and band connections, which I did not give them.
So they were all following me around trying to live off my band production to put their bands out in Halifax, Montreal and Vancouver.
Like they were trying to find out how I was releasing my albums, doing my recording and making the business of my band which I have been running since 1995.
When they played with me they said they had "no money", which was fine because it was only my production and I was paying for most of it and kept it my own.
They like in Norway, tried to steal it from me and carve it up and release all these shitty albums up in Quebec and here in Halifax.
Then they tried to flame me out of music by assaulting me at my house and following me around looking for band stuff from my production to release their albums.
I gave them nothing.
Then they were trying to squad off my food and stuff.
After the attack I continued with my band Collapse, they said they had no money.
The people who assaulted me went back to the people who ripped me off on my first record when I bought the Great White North Records name to get my money back from their fake contract.
It turned out that they were all friends with each other, the label rip off...then two years later they said they were just playing on my band to steal my music production stuff for their friends and their bands, then they home invaded me in an assault and stole my cd collection and heavy metal t-shirt collection.
Then I left.
So that was all the same people, trying to live off my band production to put out their shitty albums with their friends on their labels.
Then I got attacked like in Norway.
Now I found this out, they thought I was someone else that they knew from the slums.
All these people started coming up to me this year and trying to talk to me, like bums and stuff, asking me why I wasn't talking to them...saying they knew me.
That's because they thought I was someone else and they thought they were getting my band production in the slums to release their albums for nothing all trying to live off me.
Then I was someone else and they had attacked me looking for my stuff saying I was the other person (in 2008) , then I put the run to them permanently and it resolved my lawsuit because they were at the wrong house.
Now my lawsuit is just against the Government for wrongful arrest when I defended myself in the home invasion.
Like they thought I was someone else they knew when I was playing in bands with them but I wasn't.
Then they all followed me around saying I was someone else trying to live off my band production and they home invaded me when I moved because they wanted to own my promotion for their bands in the slums.
Like that.
Whatever, that's all over now they thought I was someone else.
Not only that they said they had no money when they were playing with me on tour and stuff then after the home invasion when I left they went back to the original album rip off in 2006 and they started new labels and released 125 albums since then out of their pocket and no one will carry them in music.
So they were lying about that too not having money, then they tried to steal my band production and released 125 albums or something maybe more since then.
Yeah right buddy, then all their albums suck and no one will carry them.
---------------------
Now they are doing it again to Jonas Akerlund the director of the movie "Lords Of Chaos" in the same fight in Norway and Varg and Euronymous.
Here is what they are saying.
They are saying their is a fight over the "Lords Of Chaos" story between the movie and the book because the movie didn't put the book content in it.
Now the book right, which is not well written, is not just about Norway...it's about "National Socialist Black Metal" which includes the rest of Europe outside of the Norway story and they are a bunch of murderers too.
So the book is also about other events Mayhem being the biggest, and other events in Europe stuff like the Columbine Massacre.
Now they are out flaming Jonas Akurlund because he took the name of the book "Lords of Chaos" for the movie and only included the story of Mayhem.
Like he stole the title of the book just for Mayhem and now they are all flaming him in the same fight from the rest of Europe from some so called Nazi Black Metal scene.
Again.
In the same fight with Old Funeral, Immortal, Emperor, Mayhem and Burzum and them over the book title for the movie "Lords Of Chaos" all over Youtube.
So watch out for that Jonas Akurlund because their gonna come to your house and attack to looking for money saying you're someone else from the early black metal days that owes them money or something and you won't pay them.
Something to keep and eye on.
Pathetic.
