"Dead was a lot more narrow minded, like most of us young metal guys in those days. He wasn't very open to other kinds of music, just Bathory, Bathory and Bathory. The Sarcofago INRI album was one of the very few records he brought with him to Norway. Stupidly, they sold that record at Helvete. I don't have anything personally from him, so that would be a nice thing to have to remember him by." - Metalion, "The Slayer mag diaries" 🦇

"Our bass player was a devout Christian back then and had a talk with Øystein and Pelle about his crucifix pendant. Both of them agreed his "reasoning for wearing it" was worthy and informed, as opposed to being "one of the mindless flock", that is, a casual believer. Our bass player later went on to study theology for a time, so there was actual deep thought behind the discussion, which I found interesting as well. I have to say that most of these things now seem like an absurd psychedelic dream." (...)

"Dead was more of a mess [than Euronymous). The stuff I talked with him about was always a bit absurd. He wasn't so much talking to me as he was lecturing me. I had trouble figuring out what he meant half the time, but I think he was very drunk"- Jukka Kolehmainen (Cursed in eternity box set) 🦇

Dead was known for his drawings, and Marius got him to make the drawing for the cover of the demo tape "Slow Death". How do you remember this?

"Marius came home one day and said "look here, check this cover!"

Marius had asked Pelle to make a cover, and he just made it there, in his bed in their house in Vevelstad, in something like 15 minutes" - Steinar Sverd Johnsen, DMDS 25th anniversary box set 🦇

"I walked out of the hall, making my way through drunk, sleeping bodies, stumbled outside and suddenly saw a wonderfully clear starry sky.

It was bitterly cold, but I was so hot I spent at least twenty minutes gazing at the stars. On the horizon, the light dome of a brightly lit cement works towered up into the night sky like a fairy tale castle. Inside, I could hear Mayhem all the way out here. It was a perfect moment!

I stood alone under the heavens with music composed precisely for such moments! And the moment I heard Dead's voice: "When it's cold and when it's dark, the freezing moon can obsess you!", two shooting stars crossed Orion's belt as if the gods were disarmed. It seemed to me that the moon would shine even colder this evening." - Abo Alsleben ("Wie ich den Black Metal nach Ostdeutschland brachte") 🦇
