NORWEGIAN IS EASY

People seem to be very confused so let me clear something up. People are pointing out that Norwegian is a Category 1 Language, making it one of the easiest to Learn in the world.
1. I stated "Western world" which for the most part does not include many languages past Category 1.
2. Just because it's a Germanic derived language does not make it magically easy to learn for an English speaker, especially when it comes to pronunciation.
3. As a resident in Scandinavian countries for several years, and having spent 100s of hours in classrooms with other English speakers (and people from all over the world) learning Scandinavian languages, I can assure you, nobody has found it easy. If you're a linguist and have an interest in languages then of course it's going to be easy for you, this does not apply to the vast majority of people.

Some of what Euronymous said was ridiculous. Dead ended his life because he was severely depressed, not because of disgust over posers in the black metal scene.
Necrobutcher and Metalion have presented much more sensible thoughts on the situation over the years.
Dead's near-death experience happened because he was severely beaten by schoolmates. This is armchair psychology, but I've often felt that he had Cotard syndrome, a condition which leads the sufferer to feel like they are, well, dead.

Euroonymous thinking he could beat up "posers" is hilarious. The 5'5, mentally ill, theatre kid was only ever a threat to himself.

I’d love one of these done about Darkthrone.

Finally, a video I can like twice! This sent me back down the black metal history rabbit hole.

Awesome vid, keep up the great work!

Good video with some actual bits I've not heard before. Great job as always. To those new to this band: one of Dead's su*cide pictures was used on the cover of a bootleg record, Deadcrush's first edition came out pink due to a printing error and they just embraced and went with it, Euronymous did have some sort of 'black metal circle/coven' who all met in his store's basement, and plenty of other bands/musicians got into killing as well. To anyone interested: Mayhem's current tour is a celebration of their 40 year run, showcasing songs from all albums, even featuring videos and old members joining sometimes as well. Can highly recommend.

I respect that Dead was honest to say he had no luck in his magick. I feel many in that world would say "yes, I've had success and....". Without getting into his psychological state of mind, he sounds like he was trying to find some form of Truth in the world he felt natural and comfortable in.

It may sound bizarre, but a part of me hopes if the Christian "devil/satan" is an actual entity beyond our scope of observation, that he welcomes Dead in his open arms, and even brings whatever form of peace such a being is capable of offering.

i NEED an Electric Wizard episode PLEASEEEE

The one thing that wasn't mentioned that proves Vargs claim of self defense was bullshit was a large majority of the stab wounds Eronomous suffered were in the back.

Euronymous was just a colossal edgelord, but Vikernes is a completely dangerous sociopath.

3:30 speech by Euronymous is so cringe and corny. Nobody in the band felt that way. Dead had depression issues from childhood bullying and almost passed away. He didn't care about the scene enough to off himself over it. Necrobutcher and Pelle's brother Anders confirmed this.

Euronymous was actually one of the worst things, people, to represent the music they stood for.

You stay making amazing mini documentaries!

For those wondering, the vocalist in the Deathcrush album was Sven Eric Kristiansen (Stage name: Maniac). He left the band after Deathcrush, to pursue other creative endeavours.

Brother I love your voice! I can't stop watching your documentaries! I listened to Mayhem and my friends told me their history. All I can say is that theeey're crazy! They took black metal way over their heads! They could've been a great black metal band if they sticked with the art itself.

this video is sick. love the side by side comparisons of songs having similar sounds. one thing though, the background music is distracting and is more distracting than anything with those wind instruments. no background music at all would be chill. it's ok for it to be a little quiet man. your voice carries the narration!

This Rocked. I'd be stoked to see a Pt 2 further down the line.

As someone who grew up in a Puritanical household, during the Satanic panic in the 80s and 90s (and got into BIG trouble once, for drawing a portrait of Eddie from the Iron Maiden albums), I will say this: parents telling kids that this music was "the devil's music" was literally the dumbest idea ever.

It only made me more curious.  The first thing I did when I went to college was to listen to every hard rock and metal album that I could get my hands on.  To their credit, I was a grown adult by that point, with the wisdom to just enjoy the music and not take it too seriously.  Filosofem, by Burzum, is one of my favorite albums, and I've never felt the urge to burn down churches or stab anybody.

Note: I must say though, that I'm still a little peeved about the Eddie portrait that my dad put into the shredder.  I had taken several art classes at the time, and I was proud of my work.

well done again.  When I think of Mayhem my mind returns to NecroButcher's embarrassing drunken interview on the documentary 'Headbanger' Journey'.  Then later I got the meet him here in Australia while they were on tour with Watain doing lead up for them.  My friend got us backstage passes through a contact of his.
  The guys in Watain were really cool, so to the lead singer of Mayhem.  As for NecroButcher, I would say his embarrassing drunken interview on Headbangers Journey was an accurate representation of what he is like in person.
 That said their live show was brilliant and sounded better than there studio recordings.

Good documentary🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
