Black metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal music. Known for dark lyrics, controversial ideologies, shocking and boundary pushing live performances, the black metal scene was tendentious at best. However, there is one black metal band that ensured they stood out from all the rest. Mayhem. Join Lisa, Matt and Jules as we walk through the sordid history of one black metals most infamous bands. Were Varg Vikernes and Øystein Aarseth, known by their stage names Count Grishnackh and Euronymous, two men who let their black metal personas get the best of them?  Was the night of August 10th, 1993 a planned murder to further elevate Mayhems infamy or a frenzied attack in self defense? Was an eye for an eye met? Special thanks to the producers of todays show, your support means the world! : Michael and Carolyn Y.
