Necrobutcher

What strikes me about Necrobutcher is endurance. As Jorn Stubberud, he co-founded Mayhem back in the early days and somehow became the band's last original member standing, after Manheim walked away in 1988 and Euronymous was murdered in 1993. I can't pretend to know what it cost him to keep that name and that bass line going through all of it, but there's something quietly remarkable about being the thread that holds a notorious legacy together. I find myself more curious about the person than the persona. The stage name is theatrical; the survival is real, and that contrast is what stays with me.
