MAYHEM's ATTILA CSIHAR Reflects On His Friendship With EURONYMOUS: 'I Never Had Any Problem With Him'
In a new interview with Scott Penfold of The Loaded Radio Podcast, MAYHEM vocalist Attila Csihar was asked if he was close friends with Euronymous prior to his murder and its aftermath, which eventually led to a reconstructed MAYHEM lineup in 1997 without the Hungarian-born vocalist. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I talked to [Euronymous] for two years before I came to Norway back in the days. And he sent me some letters, actually really cool ones, [which he wrote] with a typewriter. Very, very humble and like a gentleman kind of speak or language. He was very, very sophisticated and very nice. And then also we talked a lot by phone, and then, of course, I stayed at his place when I was in Oslo. And we shared a lot of ideas, I think. I think he was great, actually. I can't say anything bad about him. Okay, we were all a bit crazy back then, I would say. I was, like, 22 when I came to Norway. When I first heard from him, I was, like, 20. And he was, of course, also, whatever, two, three years older than me, maybe. So it's not that big difference. I think he was born in '68, if I'm right, so three years difference. Which matters when you are 20 and someone is 23. It's not exactly like today — 50 or 53 doesn't really matter, but when you are 20 and 23, there is a short distance. But we were always on the same page, and I think we respected each other a lot. He was completely into my music too. TORMENTOR, my first band, was one of his favorite bands. That's why he invited me, actually. And also Dead [former MAYHEM singer Per 'Dead' Ohlin, who committed suicide in April 1991] said sometimes that I was one of his favorite vocalists, I saw in some letters. I never talked to him, though, of course. But I think both of them were fascinated by our music with TORMENTOR, and also I guess he wanted something unique too, so he invited me instead of picking up someone from Norway.
"But anyway, he's been really, really cool, I think," Attila continued. "I never had any problem with him. I miss him still. I think it's really sad what happened. I think now people like Varg or people — I don't know — talk about some bullshit. It's cool to talk bullshit about anyone who is not here anymore. I mean, it's easy, so to say — not cool, but it's easy, if someone can't react on that. But as far as I know, he's been cool with me all the time. Maybe he was not so cool with Varg or someone else — that I can't really tell, what was going on with them. It was more on their personal levels. But to me and as an artist, I think he was great. He was a good guitar player, a good composer, I believe. And he had great visions too, which looked very surrealistic back then. For instance, when we recorded the album, he started to work on the tour, and I was so happy. I mean, I was, like, 20. It was like a dream coming true to be in this band. I didn't know first — I even didn't hear about the band when they approached me — but then I realized gradually what it was, and I was so happy. And he said, like, 'Yeah, the first show will be at Hammersmith Odeon in London where VENOM played.' I was, like, 'Horns up, bro. Let's fucking do it.' So I can't say anything bad about him personally. We've been always good friends. Even after the recording, before he got murdered, we had great talks — really good. He was so enthusiastic about the record and he seemed to be very happy and positive about the future. And, yeah, it's too bad what happened. But anyway, it is what it is. It's history now."
Asked if he still keeps in contact with Varg at all, Attila said: "No, no, no, no. I lost contact. But I also stayed at his place in Bergen. So we were all friends. At least I was friends with him, and I never had a problem with him either. Actually, I had a band called PLASMA POOL back then, which was like electro stuff. Actually, we [were] influenced by SKINNY PUPPY and FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, by the way. I listened a lot in the '80s already when these albums came out, and they started, I was lucky to discover them relatively early. So after TORMENTOR, I started that band. So by the time they invited me to MAYHEM, I'd had that band. And Varg really liked it. So Varg was, like, he wanted to release that thing. We were talking about [it]; he was into that. So, actually, I was, like, 'Holy shit, this is great. One guy wants my old band, this guy wants my new band to release. It's getting really good.' So I felt I was in a good place in a good time that time, which probably I was, but, anyway, not in that sense what happened after. That's too bad, I think, at least from my perspective. It was very bad."
Two and a half years ago, Attila told BLABBERMOUTH.NET about Euronymous's murder: "It's so crazy that it was 30 years ago. This is what it is. I'm just passing by. The thing is, to think back, I was there [in Norway] for two weeks. At the same time, I lived at Euronymous's place. I stayed with Euronymous and Varg. We were friends. I was a very good friend of Euronymous. He was my best friend in the band by far. He contacted me and invited me [to sing for MAYHEM]. We hung out together and talked about what we should do and the future. We also talked about the ideologies and the direction of the music. He had all these ideas. I loved his record collection. He had this amazing TANGERINE DREAM collection. I was amazed he liked electronic music. Then, when I met Varg, he was actually also into electronic music. It's a strange thing. He liked my band, PLASMA POOL. This was pre-computer electronic music. It was a different era of electronic music when you didn't have computers. That was challenging. I loved it. It was a dark electro project and Varg loved it.
"Euronymous was very interested in me singing on the MAYHEM record," he continued. "But his other interest was to release [Csihar's cult black metal outfit] TORMENTOR. He thought it was important to release it since we couldn't release it in communist Hungary. I brought him the master tape and DAT. Then Varg was super into it. I don't know if it was already their competition, but he said, 'I want PLASMA POOL, dude. You need to release it with me.' I was, like, 'Sure.' I was so happy that my stuff would be released. We're talking about the very early '90s when releasing something was a big deal. There were no CDs. Well, they came a couple of years before all this. It was hard to get a good contract or anything released. I talked to Varg and Euronymous. I tell you what: They talked a little bit against each other to me. Varg said, 'Don't you think the other guy is a bit strange?' I made a joke about the other guy. Then we were laughing. At the same time, Euronymous said, 'Don't you think he's weird?' Then I made another joke. [Laughs] At the end, I thought, 'Guys, I'm not a fucking priest. Maybe you should talk.' It was not that bad. It didn't look that bad at all. There was a bit of tension, but I thought it was normal. It had been coming for years. [Previous MAYHEM vocalist] Dead [Per Yngve Ohlin] committed suicide. All the trouble, all the church burnings. It was a different age. They fucked up Christian groups and in return, they fucked up Euronymous's store, so it was full of all this Jesus crap. It was another era. They put all their effort — Euronymous borrowed money from his father to pay for the studio, Grieghallen, which was expensive. I was amazed. But the thing with Euronymous and Varg, I never thought it would go that far."
Cishar then discussed the period after the completion of "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" and his inability to get in touch with his MAYHEM bandmates during the summer of 1993. "I always talked to Euronymous," he said. "Suddenly, the summer came. I had the contact of Euronymous, [MAYHEM guitarist] Blackthorn [Snorre Ruch] and Varg. The only phone I didn't have was [MAYHEM drummer] Jan Axel [Blomberg]. I talked from time to time with Euronymous. Suddenly, I couldn't reach them. I was like, 'Whatever.' I realized I couldn't reach anyone, but it was still summer. I thought it was okay — maybe they'll come back in September and we'll see what will happen. It was already October when I said, 'What the fuck is going on?' I was not too nervous. I thought, 'The album has to come.' It was strange we didn't talk. Then a friend of mine came to my place in Hungary. He said, 'You played in MAYHEM?' I said, 'Yeah.' He said, 'I just read in the news in this metal magazine from Hungary. There is a very small news piece that the bass player killed the guitarist.' I was like, 'Dude. You took it wrong. It's not the bass player. It was the vocalist who committed suicide.' Then my friend said, 'I don't know. This is what I read.' He didn't have the magazine. I was like, 'No fucking shit. What is this bullshit?' I went down and bought the magazine. When I read it, I couldn't believe my eyes. Like, 'What?' Then I started to think, 'Shit. Maybe this is why I don't hear from anyone.' [Laughs]"
Vikernes was convicted in 1994 and sentenced to Norway's longest prison term of 21 years for the August 1993 murder of Euronymous, whom he stabbed 23 times, and for burning down three churches, including the original Holmenkollen Chapel next to the Holmenkollen Ski Jump in Oslo. He was released from prison in 2009 after serving 16 years of that sentence.
In October 2003, Vikernes failed to return to prison after being granted a short leave, and was later apprehended by police with an unloaded assault rifle, 700 rounds of ammo, and a handheld GPS system.
Seven years ago, MAYHEM bassist Jørn "Necrobutcher" Stubberud made headlines when he said he was on his way to kill Euronymous before Vikernes beat him to it.
"Okay, I can tell it right now, because I've been holding it in for many years, but actually I was on my way down to kill him myself," Necrobutcher claimed in an interview with Consequence. "And when it happened, I saw the morning paper, thinking 'Fuck, I gotta get home to my place and get out all the weapons and drugs and shit I had in my house, because they're coming to my house because I'm probably going to be the No. 1 suspect for this.'"
Necrobutcher went on to claim that the police were well aware of Vikernes's plan to murder Euronymous, and he had a theory about why they allowed it to happen. "Because they bugged his phone, and he actually talked about this killing before he went to Bergen so the cops already knew that he was coming, so they probably were thinking to themselves, 'We didn't nail this guy for the church burnings, so let's nail him for murder, and get rid of this fucking guy in Oslo the same time,'" he said. "So that's basically what happened."
MAYHEM's seventh studio album, "Liturgy Of Death", will be released on February 6 via Century Media Records.

Вот Ordo ad Chao - это пиздец как мощно было, до сих пор охуеваю, когда переслушиваю.
Но с другой стороны, его убийство настолько вознесло всю сцену и создало целый культ вокруг неё, что многие до сих пор греются в лучах славы этих событий, далеко не всегда заслуженно.
Ну и Mayhem выпустили шикарный Wolf's Lair Abyss и Grand Declaration of War после этого.
к счастью, после смерти гейронимуса мейхем ничего больше не выпускали.
