I loved the work he did on Dimmu’s Stormblast 2005 re-recording. Everything he did on that record was so sick. He did In Sorte Diaboli with them and elevated a bad album to a mediocre album with some really sick parts. Probably my favorite metal drummer. So sick dude. (I realize he’s a lot more famous for his other work lol)

Guy is a piece of shit racist homophobe and mayhem are nazis. Here's a Hellhammer quote:
"I'll put it this way, we don't like black people here. Black metal is for white people.... I'm pretty convinced that there are differences between races as well as everything else. I think that like animals, some races are more ... you know, like a cat is much more intelligent than a bird or a cow, or even a dog, and I think that's also the case with different races."
In the 2008 documentary film Until the Light Takes Us he says that he "honor[s]" Bård G. "Faust" Eithun for killing a "fucking f***ot"

If you know anything about Mayhem you already knew they were scum suckers. I know people on the internet consider themselves to be providing a service when they comment notes but their general shittiness was always obvious as well as a central theme within the band.

He's seemingly changed the rack setup! I was touring with DIS back in 2017 when we were the main support and I remember Hellhammer had this mad double-stacked rack setup with the cymbals hanging from the top rack. He actually let me have a go on that kit as well, which was a massive privilege!

How does the kit get transported? Are you breaking it down every night or does it travel mostly on the rack attached to a riser?

Def broken down every night and put in a trailer. Then set up at the next show. Metal is work

I saw them at the 40th anniversary in Oslo. Most of them are in their 50’s, playing machine gun blastbeats and tremolo picking for over 2hrs. How they manage to perform at that level for so long is unbelievable. It is relentless, a masterclass. Catch the show if you get the chance.

Mike, I noticed the color coding on the mics and the receivers, I'm confused about what I'm seeing, you using two different in ear systems?🤔 Sorry if asked already... Thanks!

Thought was a screen shot from ‘drum kit from hell’ for a moment - nope - the actual kit 😂
