On January 16, 1969 in Vasterhaninge, was born a legend of Black Metal. Years later he will be appreciated by his fans all around the world. He will always be remembered and missed by his family, friend and fans from all around the world. His music arrived in all the corners, helping people with depression, self harm and anxiety. The song "Freezing Moon" is a poetic symphony about darkness and solitude, a symbol for Black Metal community that still influences many bands and musicians. He was a talented artist, with many drawings he sent to friends, musicians and magazines worldwide. He started to listen KISS, Iron Maiden, Motorhead until he found Destruction, Venom and Bathory. At that time didn't exist a heavier genre like these last two and this brought him to be heavier. He started to watch horror movies like Evil Dead, Bad Taste and Cannibal Ferox, his favourites and his passion grew so much until he formed Morbid band but after one year or so, things were not going well and he left the band to join in Mayhem. Things started to be seriously for him, so serious that he cut himself once in a concert, but i don't think that guy was the real Pelle. Per Yngve Ohlin, was a sensitive guy with a dark sense of humour always with a smile on his face and he will be remembered in this way. He succeded to create this dark image, that he was even ready to "bleed" for his music, which could be risky to do. But this risk was fundamental for this kind of music, dark and heavier than some other music in this world. Today, after 28 years from his death, his fans listen Mayhem like these songs were composed yesterday and this thanks to him.
