The 1995* Mayhem AU (part 2, Øystein Aarseth)

1995* AU part 1 (Pelle Ohlin)

This is a continuation of the last post, but it focuses more on Øystein and his survival.

...

Øystein, of course, was there fore Pelle in 1991 when he was in the hospital; so Pelle essentially returned the favor by being there for him when Varg attacked him in 1993.

Øystein suggested that Pelle work at Helvete after he opened around May-June 1991 (After he recovers, of course.)

In 1992, Pelle was a little more active, so he and Øystein could move forward with plans for the band; Pelle suggested kicking out Necrobutcher and Hellhammer, considering a lot of things that went down at the time. There was still gripe about how there was no real contribution the band financially, and Pelle felt they weren't as in it as they said they were. Øystein toyed around with the idea for a bit, but didn't kick them out at first.

They met Varg around this time of inner band turmoil, which wasn't great for them either.

They all lived at Helvete at one point or another; and eventually Varg and Øystein's friendship had turned to rivalry, despite Øystein's attempt to take Varg under his wing. (This pissed off Pelle to no end.)

With all of the church burnings, things in the scene were really starting to grow out of control; and so was Øystein's relationship with Varg.

On August 10th, 1993; Varg attacked Øystein in his apartment, stabbing him in various places like in the back(both metaphorically and physically), the back of the shoulder, the neck and in his head.

He was bleeding out severely on the stairwell when the paramedics arrived at the scene; a second later and he very well would have been dead.

Fortunately for him, they were able to stop the bleeding and get him to the hospital. He had to get a lot of stitches and his wounds were bandaged heavily.

Due to the injuries to his head; this would affect Øystein's left eye and it's sight; and of course, there would be scarring when all of the wounds eventually healed.

Much like Pelle, it took Øystein awhile to be able to walk again; even then he couldn't do so properly due to the nature of the wounds on his back.

For the first few months of his recover (out of the hospital), Øystein used a wheelchair to help him get around. He could stand for a little bit, but never long amounts of time

He got better about it as the year went on, and was eventually able to walk/stand for longer periods of time. But not the way he used to.

Originally, he was supposed to serve time for an altercation that happened a bus stop; but the charges were dropped against him.

Øystein and Pelle finally kicked Necrobutcher and eventually Hellhammer out of Mayhem; considering all the bullshit they dealt with and how the two were barely in sight when either of them were in the hospital (and how little the contributed to the band), it was about time.

For a short while, it was just Pelle and Øystein; they would have other people come in and 'fill in' the bass or the drum spots, but no one was ever really too concrete. (This went well into 1994)

During this time, Øystein got a bird (A cockatoo, named Quorthon) who has unexplainable beef with Pelle, for some reason. (Props to Andrew)

In 1995, Pelle and Øystein are more focused on developing Helvete and Mayhem and the music they make. Sometimes they'll hold auditions for spots in the band, but so far, they haven't found anyone solid.

In other parts, I will go over some other members of the Black metal scene who were connected to Mayhem at the time, and what role they play in the AU.
