“In early 1993, tensions escalated between Euronymous and Vikernes. On the night of 10 August 1993, Vikernes and Snorre ‘Blackthorn’ Ruch traveled from Bergen to Euronymous’ apartment in Oslo. Upon their arrival, a confrontation ensued, during which Vikernes fatally stabbed Euronymous. His body was discovered outside the apartment, bearing 23 stab wounds—two to the head, five to the neck, and 16 to the back.
Speculation surrounding the murder suggests it stemmed from a power struggle, a financial dispute over Burzum records, or an attempt to “outdo” a previous stabbing incident in Lillehammer. Vikernes, however, refutes these claims, asserting he killed Euronymous in self-defense. He contends that Euronymous had devised a plan to incapacitate him with an electroshock weapon, bind him, and torture him to death while filming the event, using a meeting regarding an unsigned contract as a ruse to ambush him. Vikernes claims he intended to present Euronymous with the signed contract that night and “tell him to fuck off,” but that Euronymous panicked and attacked him first. According to Vikernes, the altercation began when Euronymous kicked him in the chest, in response to which he proceeded to throw him on the ground and, when the latter attempted to get into the kitchen to retrieve a knife, Vikernes pulled out his own to stop him. Vikernes has also claimed that Euronymous’s initial injuries happened because he broke a lamp and, as a result “he was swimming in glass fragments with only his underwear, so he was rather bloody”. Faust has expressed skepticism regarding the self-defense narrative,while Necrobutcher believes Vikernes killed Euronymous due to the death threats he had received from him. Necrobutcher later claimed that he had also intended to murder Euronymous himself due to his tasteless exploitation of Dead’s suicide.”
Varg Vikernes continued to release music from jail but stopped at some point.
What suicide did the murder encourage? Ohlin killed himself 2 years before.

And rappers have started gang wars and there are popstars who have horrific *allegations* and country music promotes nationalism. Music can get really messed up. Ask Charles Manson.
