Kay... I know this isn't exactly the best place to ask this question, but does anyone know the names of the albums that were recorded and produced while the guy was in prison?

This guy - Varg Vikernes - is from my hometown... As far as I can see he has done two albums in prison - Balder's Dod and Hlidskjalf. I've never heard any of his music. Not my cup of tea I'm afraid. The whole black metal/satanist esthetics seem ridiculous to me. Dangerous pretentiousness. I mean, he's in prison for murder...

yep, those are the 2 albums he made in prison
you can check it here
the Encyclopaedia Metallum is a very complete place, you can make your collection of what titles you own, something similar to Discogs ;)
I used to listen a lot of black metal from Norway, I'd lost the interest on it gradually. A lot of that black metal scene was (is) so childish at the time. Anyway, I still LOVE lots of death and black metal from the 90's, it's something I can look back and just smile. Hey! I still have my long hair :D

Heh... Yeah. I am kinda researching black metal right now...
I am prolly going to be playing a hardcore show in a couple months, and since fast distorted beats aren't really my thing, I thought slow steady funk with synphonic stuff and really deafening guitars would be good.
Although all this wrath of satan stuff is pretty fun for now. Best not to take it all too seriously, lest you kill your best friend or something.

Black metal can be a fun listen. I started getting into it some years ago, and I have found that there are some great bands in that scene. At best the lyrics are quite fun to read, and they have provided many laughs. Going to shows are great too.
I don't really like Burzum, and i think it sounds like a second rate demo band, although there is an ambient piece on 'Philosophem' that is bearable.

The two albums recorded in prison just sound like the prison authorities would only let him have a cheapy keyboard, with those hideous synthesised timpani sounds. So, yeah, not really feeling the prison tunes. Or the neo-nazi overtones. Or the killing your friends thing.
If you like the synphonic stuff, "Filosofem", especially the opening track, is awesome. Epic scandinavian mountainside stuff. "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" is another goodie, and much more of a consistent "Album", if you know what I mean.

is this the guy who, when the singer of his band shot his brains out, first went out to buy a disposable camera to photograph his dead buddy, then collected pieces of his skull and/or brain, before contacting the police?
I have a vague recollection of this story..

Interesting thread.
Taxidermist: If you want to talk hardcore i am more than down for that. Just create a thread dedicated to hardcore and i will more than willingly throw around band suggestions and DVD's that are good.
Along with torrent sites

I've been listening to Ulver a bit. Their latest stuff is what I like most, but they can be a bit too pretentious imo.

Last year we had a case of corpse molestation here in Norway. Some 26 year old black metal fan molested the corpse of a 89 year old man, beheaded him and kept the head as a trophy! Later, that same night, he went to a party and took the head along with him to show it off!!! He was later sentenced to two years behind bars.

qrter, the guy you are refering had the alias of "Dead"... he was the original vocalist of Mayhem, the story tells he always said he was to committ suicide sooner or later... so one day he did it and now Dead was... really dead!
I found this somewhere:
"Dead committed suicide in 1991 by shooting himself in the mouth with a shotgun after cutting his wrists with a machete. The bullets had been given to him by Varg Vikerness. Varg (Count Grishnack) knew that Dead used to practice with a shotgun in the forest close to the hut where the guys of Mayhem lived. He detested Euronymous musical tastes about electronic music, needing to leave the house to relax. His body (wearing an "I Love Transylvania" shirt and leaving a suicide note saying "Excuse all the Blood") was discovered at his room. Euronymous took some pictures (one of them appearing as the cover of the infamous "Dawn Of The Black Hearts" bootleg album) of the suicide and scene."
Count Grishnack (one man band... Burzum) later killed Euronymous, original guitarist of Mayhem
nsfw gory stuff

Dead was from Sweden. my friend is friends with Pelles ('Dead') brother...
those of you interested in all this mayhem (hehe) should read the book Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground written by Michael Moynihan & Didrik Søderlind.
