雖然我沒有這個樂團的專輯，也還未聽；單純只是因為他們的過去的事蹟
讓我感興趣，所以就嘗試翻譯此篇文章。

有任何謬誤歡迎指正。

先翻譯到Dead真的Dead為止。


Mayhem is a black metal band formed in 1984[2] in Oslo, Norway.
They are regarded as one of the pioneers of the influential
Norwegian black metal scene.

Mayhem是1984年於挪威奧斯陸(*)組成的黑金樂團。他們被認為是挪
威黑金樂派的先驅，且最具有影響力。
*挪威首都

Mayhem's career has been highly controversial, primarily due to the
suicide of vocalist Dead, murder of guitarist Euronymous, and their
violent stage performances. Such controversies have often
overshadowed their music.

Mayhem的音樂生涯有高度的爭議性，主要是由於主唱Dead自殺，吉他
手Euronymous被謀殺以及他們充滿暴力的舞台演出方式。而這些爭議經
常被用來抹黑他們的音樂風格。

Over time Mayhem has evolved through a variety of black metal styles,
delving at times into areas of dark avant-garde industrial and electronic.

長久以來Mayhem的風格演變為極端的黑金屬，偶爾也會涉及到一些黑暗前
衛的工業及電子風格。

Early years (1984–1987)

Inspired by groups such as Venom, Slayer, and Celtic Frost, Mayhem was
founded in 1984 by guitarist/vocalist Oystein Aarseth (aka Euronymous),
bass guitarist Jorn Stubberud (aka Necrobutcher), and drummer
Kjetil Manheim (aka Manheim).

受到Venom, Slayer及Celtic Forst的影響，Mayhem於1984年由吉他兼主唱
Oystein Aarseth (aka* Euronymous), 貝斯手Jorn Stubberud
(aka Necrobutcher), 及鼓手Kjetil Manheim (aka Manheim)組成。
*aka, as known as

The band name is taken from the Venom song, "Mayhem with Mercy."
This lineup recorded and released the demo Pure Fucking Armageddon.

樂團的名稱來自於Venom的歌曲, ”Mayhem with Mercy”。這個組合發行
首支demo, Pure Fucking Armageddon.

Euronymous concentrated solely on guitar following the hire of a vocalist
in 1986. During 1986 and 1987, Sven Erik Kristiansen (aka Maniac) and
Eirik Nordheim (aka Messiah) were recruited as vocalists. This lineup
recorded the band's first album, Deathcrush, and released it through
Euronymous's newly formed label Posercorpse Music.

自1986年樂團徵招了主唱之後，Euronymous專心於吉他演奏。
1986至1987期間, 僱用Sven Erik Kristiansen (aka Maniac)及
Eirik Nordheim (aka Messiah)為主唱, 這個組合發行樂團
首張專輯”Deathcrush”, 此張專輯由Euronymous新開設的
唱片公司Posercorpse Music發行。

An initial release of 1,000 copies of Deathcrush quickly sold out,
and was later repressed in 1993, by the Posercorpse Music label, since
having been renamed Deathlike Silence Productions as a joint venture
with Euronymous's Oslo specialist record shop Helvete.

Deathcrush最初發行的1000張很快就銷售一空，自從Posercorpse Music改制
為合營公司Deathlike Silence Productions後，1993年開始專輯只限定在奧斯
陸Euronymous的專門唱片行Helvete銷售。

Euronymous's plans for this new outlet included that it was to be
"...like a black church in the future. We've thought about having total
darkness inside, so that people would have to carry torches to be able to
see the records."

Euronymous的新銷售計畫包含的目的”…就像是一座黑暗的教堂。我們想要讓
它黑暗的徹底，所以大家如果要了解這張專輯的話就必須帶著火炬。”

By mid-1988 both Manheim and Maniac had left the band: Manheim left
to find a mainstream job, and Maniac left due to depression.

1998年中，Manheim與Maniac離團︰Manheim想找個正常的工作，
Maniac則是因為憂鬱症。

With Dead (1988–1991)

After two brief replacements, their positions were filled by Swedish vocalist
Per Yngve Ohlin (aka Dead) and local drummer
Jan Axel Blomberg (aka Hellhammer).

兩名成員離團後，來自瑞典的Yngve Ohlin (aka Dead)及
挪威的鼓手Jan Axel Blomberg (aka Hellhammer)取代了他們的位置。

According to Bard Eithun of the band Emperor:
He (Dead) wasn't a guy you could know very well. I think even the other
guys in Mayhem didn't know him very well. He was hard to get close to.
I met him two weeks before he died. I'd met him maybe six to eight times,
all in all. He had lots of weird ideas. I remember Aarseth was talking about
him and said he did not have any humor. He did, but it was very obscure.
Honestly, I don't think he was enjoying living in this world.

根據Emperor樂團Bard Eithun的說法︰
Dead不是個容易被了解的人，我想就算是Mayhem的其他團員也對他了解
的不多，他真的很難親近。在他自殺的前兩週我才見過他。我總共大概見過
他6到8次。他有許多鬼點子。我記得Aarseth跟我提過他，還說他是個沒有
任何幽默感的人。他確實是，但他實在太晦暗了，老實說，我根本不認為他
喜歡活在這個世界上。

With Dead as vocalist, the band's concerts became notorious.

自從Dead成為樂團的主唱後，樂團的演唱會變得惡名昭彰。

Whilst performing, Dead would often cut himself with hunting knives
and broken glass. Additionally, the band often had pig or sheep heads
impaled on stakes and planted at the front of their stage.

每次的演出，Dead經常用獵刀或是碎玻璃自殘。此外，樂團經常把豬或羊
的頭刺在木樁上，放在舞台的最前面。

At some point in 1990, the members of Mayhem moved to "an old
house in the forest" near Oslo.
1990年的某天，Mayhem的成員搬家到奧斯陸附近的”森林裡的老舊房子”。

They began writing songs for their next album,
De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas. On 8 April 1991, Dead committed suicide
in the house owned by the band.

他們開始為下一張專輯De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas寫歌曲，
1991年4月8號，Dead在這屋子裡自殺(他真的dead了)。

He was found by Euronymous with slit wrists and a shotgun round to
the head. Dead's suicide note read "Excuse all the blood" and
included an apology for firing the weapon indoors.

他的屍體被Euronymous發現，手腕上有撕裂傷，還有一把散彈槍
在頭旁邊。Dead的遺書裡寫著” Excuse all the blood”，還為他
在屋子裡開槍道歉。

Instead of calling the police, Euronymous went to a nearby store
and bought a disposable camera to photograph the corpse, after
re-arranging some items.

Euronymous不但沒有立即報警，且跑到鄰近的商店去買了台即可拍，
整理一下屍體旁邊的東西，拍下Dead死的樣子。

One of these photographs was later stolen and used as the cover
of a bootleg live album entitled Dawn of the Black Hearts.

這些照片的其中一張被偷出來做成一張盜版現場演奏專輯
Dawn of the Black Hearts的封面。

Eventually, rumors surfaced that Euronymous made a stew with
pieces of Dead's brain, and made necklaces with fragments of
Dead's skull.

事件最後還有謠言說Euronymous用Dead腦袋的碎肉煮了一鍋肉湯，
用Dead頭骨的碎片做了幾條項鍊。

The band later stated that the former rumor was false, but that
the latter was true.[6] Additionally, Euronymous claimed to have
given these necklaces to musicians he deemed worthy.

爾後樂團跳出來說明那些鬼謠言都是假的，但之後又說是真的。
此外，Euronymous宣稱他把這些項鍊送給他認為值得的音樂家們。

According to Stian Johannsen (aka Occultus), who briefly took
position as vocalist after Dead's suicide:
He (Dead) didn't see himself as human; he saw himself as a creature
from another world. He said he had many visions that his blood has
frozen in his veins, that he was dead. That is the reason he took that
name. He knew he would die.

根據Stian Johannsen (aka Occultus)，
Dead自殺後取代他的主唱，的說法︰
他(Dead)根本不認為自己是個人類，他把自己看成來自異界的怪物。
他說他有血凝結再血管內的幻覺，他覺得自己掛了。
這是他給自己取名Dead的原因，他知道自己即將死亡。
