A very happy (er, or whatever emotion is blackest) 39th birthday to Immortal’s Abbath Doom Occulta. Assume a Shoebox card would probably be inappropriate.
The trouble with being a pioneer in Norwegian black metal is when you get murdered by someone you used to play with. Nickelback will likely never have this problem. Happy birthday Euronymous, wherever you are.
So many birthdays today! Michael Jordan, Jim Brown, Paris Hilton, Denise Richards, Michael Bay — well, you get the point. Who to recognize? Well, Tomas Forsberg, of course. Who? Well, he was better known as Quorthon, the man behind Bathory and the progenitor of Viking metal. Yes, THAT Quorthon. Get familiar.
Fenriz, who makes up half of Norwegian black metal lords Darkthrone, probably doesn’t celebrate birthdays, but if he DID, he’d be 40 today. Send corpsepaint.
