Swedish Metal Aid (mp3)

Wouldn't you like to have long soft curly blond hair, scented with musk - dangling over firm shoulders - a loose silk shirt with the top open, revealing a hairy chest and a gold chain - singing your heart out to save people about to die of hunger in Ethiopia? If you could you would, and the Swedes did do it in '85. Joey Tempest (Wikipedia) from "Europe" wrote the song "Give a Helpin' Hand" (mp3) which sold 50.000 copies. See the 120 Swedish hard rockers here (Youtube) and dream about swimming in fluffy blond hair.

If you are interested in Scandinavian "Black Metal" take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayhem_(band)

When you come to the part of "Dead"s suicide, and have read about how mr. Euronymous after discovering the corpse of the lead singer, bought a polaroid camera and took pictures of the gory mess and gathered pieces of cranial structure - before callin the police - you will be even more stunned to find out that rumours suggested that Euronymous also scooped up some head-goo, that later was added to a pot of chili, and digested by friends of the deceased. Thank God for Scandinavian Black Metal indeed.

A lot of the source material is from the book "Lords of chaos" (Recommended reading!)
