They were replaced by the Dead (Per Yngve Ohlin) an Hellhammer (Jan Axel Blomberg) Dead, as the name suggests, has a melancholy nature and enjoyed the themes of death, and darkness. In fact, according to rumors Euronymous, less like it because it has a personality disorder. Nonetheless Dead have many friends in the world of black metal, although considered a little naive. Dead has a strange behavior; one time he buried his clothes in the basement for several weeks so that she can wear clothes that have been rotting in a concert. He also had entered a dead raven in a plastic bag to "breathe the air of death" before the stage. This is further strengthened Mayhem atmospheric music, and lyrics the band has developed into satanism, darkness, depression, and crime. In many of their performances, pig heads stuck on top of the spear and the Dead cut himself with a knife.
