Interview with Jon Jefferson Klingberg about Pelle Ohlin on swedish television
Another dark side of this is perhaps "Pelle Dead".
Jon: Exactly.
Who is this? You write that he has become a myth, almost.Jon: Exactly. It is Ika, He is buried in Österhaninge. My colleague, Ika has worked most of that chapter. And Pelle Ohlin, the teenager from Västerhaninge who went to Norway.
He was initially field biologist... Jon: Exactly. He went to Norway, equipped with only a bag of dracula-magazines, to start singing in death metal group Mayhem. And they are very large. They were then a cult band in the thrash genre. And with thrash, I mean early Metallica, in the wake of early Metallica, a kind of darker thrash. But as he appeared on the stage, and brought in a series of dark elements, he thought the all-new tracks. He borrowed this look from Alice Cooper took in elements in the form of dead animals rotting on the stage.
Pig heads.... Jon: he took it a step further. And we have wondered "Why him? Who was he?" because he has become a bit of black metal genre's Jim Morrison.
They say he killed himself and a band mate photographed the corpse with brain matter outside. This image can be seen on an album cover. What do you think about it? Jon: It is terrible. I would never want to have the disc. Many of the album cover and thrash scene, is repulsive. Why should i have them?
