In memoriam.
Today is Easter Sunday, 8th April, 2012. And on this date is rightfully honoured the most important person ever to die, come back, and then do something awesome:
RIP Per Yngve "Dead" Ohlin
16-1-1969 - ? - 8-4-1991
ex-Morbid, ex-Mayhem
It's twenty-one years today since Black Metal lost one of the greatest talents it ever had, dead (for the second time) by his own hand at the age of twenty-two. Rest in - well, "rest in peace" hardly seems fitting. Rest in darkness, maybe.
Got to love the way the dates have lined up this year, though...
And since I couldn't make this post without including a couple of song links:
Morbid - Wings of Funeral
Mayhem - Carnage (because everyone always posts Freezing Moon but this is amazing too)
Laters,
Rath
