Norwegian Metalhead Who Murdered Another Norwegian Metalhead in 1993 Tweets about What Lord of the Rings Would Look Like in 2022
The very fact that he was born Kristian Vikernes, performed as Count Grishnackh, is best known to the world as Varg Vikernes, and now has the legal name Louis Cachet is all you need to know that the subject of my opening segment is a musician, and everyone who’s not a musician knows that musicians are the flakiest people on Earth.

Still, they were outnumbered and desperate. Fortune, it seemed, would favor the Moors on this day. But as the Count’s troops prepared to clash with their foe, a miracle occurred. (more…)
