He's Count Grishnackh...

Another important band in Norway is Burzum, with his singer, guitarrist...Varg Vikernes. (He changed his name because he called Kristian).
He's famous because killed Euronymous(founder of Mayhem) in Oslo.
Actually he's a neonazi. This influence acquired when he stayed in jail for the murder and burned churchs.
