I reviewed the whole story that happened during the making of
"De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" album of Mayhem. The plan to burn the Cathedral, which is depicted on the album cover, with the assistance of Varg Vikernes, who killed later on Euronymous, with the excuse that he was going to get tortured to death by him.If all this is correct, then Euronymous had a really sick mind... So in order to make his album famous he had some plans, so his album can be called like a message from Satan or simply an album with history, this might be true since he calls himself a descendant of Satan. He also took a picture of Dead's corpse. With all this info I could only assume that Euronymous actually killed Dead and made it look like a suicide. He was the first person who found Dead anyway. This whole suicide(Dead), church arsons(The Cathedral and some other churches), murders(if he really was planning to kill Varg), right before the release of the CD would add up extra "Dark Energy" and Fame to his upcoming album. Now that seems to me like a Hell of a motive for continuous crimes. Nothing is proven since both Euronymous and Dead are dead, so all we can do is assume... Did Dead really kill himself or was he a victim of Euronymous?
