Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Jan Axel von Blomberg

Hellhammer uses his real name on Arcturus releases.

2. Which country is Ancient Rites from?

Answer: Belgium

Ancient Rites is the most important black metal band from Belgium.

'The Principle of Evil Made Flesh' is COF's debut, released in 1994 by Cacophonous.

4. Which of the following bands is not from Norway?

Answer: Abruptum

Abruptum is from Sweden. They claim not to make music, but to create the audial essence of evil. Well... it's an excuse like any other.

5. Which Australian band released the album 'Vengeance War Till Death'?

Answer: Bestial Warlust

Several members of Bestial Warlust ended up in Abominator and Destroyer 666.

6. A lot of black metal bands use the number '666'. What does it stand for?

Answer: Number of the Beast

This was a very easy question for both readers of the Bible and Iron Maiden fans. The number '666' is given to the beast, Satan, in 'The Book of Revelations', supposedly written down by one John (whose identity is not at all sure). It is said that when Satan roams the earth, he is to be recognized by the number '666'. So watch out for it and don't say we didn't warn you.

7. Which record label released the album 'Burzum' by Burzum?

Answer: Deathlike Silence Productions

Deathlike Silence Productions was the label run by the infamous Euronymus of Mayhem, who was actually killed by the sole member of Burzum: Varg Vikernes.

8. A few years ago black metal musicians had the irritating habit of killing people and ending up in jail. One of them was Jon Nodveidt. In which band did he play?

Answer: Dissection

In 2003 Nodveidt will be freed from prison. The moment I write this (8-5-2003) I'm not sure whether he is already or not. Mr. Nodveidt has announced he will return to the metal scene shortly with a new album, either with Dissection or with a new band. Rumours are spreading that Faust (ex-emperor; coincidently also sitting out a jail-sentence and soon to be set free) will be drumming on that album. We'll see.

9. Which band released the following albums: 'Wicca' and 'Goetia'?

Answer: Mystifier

Mystifier was probably the first Brazilian black metal band, but they have never been really famous outside their country.

Answer: 'Carrie' (by Europe)

A few former members of In The Woods ended up in the band Green Carnation.

11. Can you complete these lyrics: 'More so than thine, else thy dew-lidded eyes art for the Banshees song, or our souls entwined like vein upon the haunted shores of ...'?

Answer: Avalon

These lyrics were taken from the song 'Haunted Shores' by Cradle Of Filth, to be found on the album 'Dusk and her Embrace'.

12. Abbath plays guitar, Horgh plays the drums, Iscariah played the bass, but left the band in 2002 and Demonaz writes the lyrics. Which band am I talking about?

Immortal has just released 'Sons of Northern Darkness'. I think it's a great album.
