"He (Dead) Spoke Of Distant Countries And Areas That Fascinated Him. His Wanderlust Was Almost Contagious.

"He (Dead) spoke of distant countries and areas that fascinated him. His wanderlust was almost contagious. Instead, he was vegetating in the house in the forest and had a dead bird in his room. He became more and more lonely and his world became smaller, more boring and monotonous. Exactly what he detested. A life in the middle of nowhere without any hint of mysticism.

Euronymous, who spent most of his time with Dead, didn't seem particularly interested in his sensibilities. In any case, he wasn't sensitive to it. This impression is confirmed when you see the photos of Dead, in which Euronymous even poses with the corpse. There is no trace of sadness there" - Abo Alsleben, "MAYHEM live in Leipzig – Wie ich den Black Metal nach Ostdeutschland brachte"

IMPORTANT ❗❗❗

[This claim is false, and this rumor needs to be put to rest. Photo in question doesn't show Pelle dead and Øystein posing with his corpse, and on slide 2 there's the best evidence one can possibly get. This photo has been published in Morbid magazine no.3, which came out in 1988. I have tried so hard to debunk this rumor, but people never seem to believe me, no matter how many details I point out- Pelle holding up his arm, Pelle being in totally different clothes than in suicide pic and so on. However, you can't argue with the evidence in the form of magazine that published this photo 3 full years before his death. Most likely, this photo comes from the party where Pelle hammered nails into his head, and both of them are drunk. That's all there is to it, and I urge you guys to share this information 🙏] 🦇
