Elviric

🦇 Hi. My name is Elric/Elviric, though people call me El for short.

🦇 I’m an avid metal enjoyer. My favorite genres are black metal, doom metal, and gothic metal, though I’m always open to recommendations of any kind. I’m also really into the gothic subculture.

🦇 My primary interest at the moment is Mayhem, especially Dead and Euronymous. I am the self-proclaimed “sanest Dead enthusiast.” I also enjoy bands such as Dissection, Darkthrone, Bathory, Hellripper, Venom…just to name a few of the popular ones. I will mostly be posting about underground bands, however.

🦇 I’m a dude. he/him.

🦇 Feel free to moot me up or talk to me. I don’t bite..

HIII RORY I LOVE YOUUUU 5EVER

2nd question: what is your favorite fact about any mayhem member?

hiii holy shit sorry this took me so long to get to. okay so..i know i said i was done with Mayhem but I more so meant i was done making it my whole personality. i’d love to answer these questions!

FIRST CONTACT WITH MAYHEM:

like anyone else, my first contact with Mayhem was the DOTBH cover. it was a faithful day sophmore year, i had just gotten out of school and was waiting for my ride when i saw a tiktok complaining about DOTBH. I decided to look it up, and lo and behold my first introduction to Pelle. now i didn’t truly get into Mayhem until later that year, when I saw a Lords of Chaos edit of Euro and finally said “ok, what happened.” That’s when i really sat down and did my research.

FAVORITE FACT ABOUT ANY MEMBER:

oooo. this one is tough. I’ll only give you Pelle and Euronymous facts, cuz i couldn’t care less about Jørn and Jan.

Pelle: Many facts about him intrigue me. The first one that comes to mind is the fact he has little bats drawn on his denim jacket.

i also think it’s really interesting how he never truly had a friend. him and Øystein were obviously close, no matter how much people try to deny it, but after their friendship went to shit, Pelle had nothing going for him. He was alone in a foreign country, broke, bitter towards Euronymous, and depressed. He truly deserved better in life. His aversion to technology is pretty interesting as well.

Euronymous: his whole beef with satyricon. his stupid letters were SO entertaining.

truth be told, i’m a lot happier than i was when i was 16 and 17. I related to Pelle a lot, but im no longer in that mindset. i think moving on would be better for my mental health, to be frank.

I genuinely hope you know you're one of my most favourite people that I don't know irl (if not maybe even my favourite) I love you very much man and I hope you had/are having an amazing day 🫂

thank you so much, Sylvan. your wishes genuinely make my day. a few tears were shed today, no doubt, for all that i have and will lose. we lose everything in the end, even each other. that pains me deeply. i don’t ever want to lose you, you mean so much to me.

i don’t want to focus on that though, i want to put it in a new perspective. as much as i love to reminisce, perhaps i should ask myself “do i realize the beauty of everything in the moment? or only after i’ve lost all there is to lose?”

i digress. today is a very sentimental day for me, apologies. anyway, i hope you know those tears of sadness turned into ones of happiness when i saw all your wishes. i am truly grateful to have you in my life. words will never be enough. you are the most deserving person i’ve ever met, deserving of everything good in the world. nothing makes me happier than seeing you excited over something, or acknowledging that you took time out of your day to do all of this for me.

we lose ourselves. it’s a part of life. sometimes we just forget to eat and go crazy thinking the world is against us. but just know, as long as i’m breathing, you’ll always have a light to help you find your way. or to just be there with you. the dark isn’t so scary when you’re not alone, right?

i want to personally thank all of my friends. ones that stuck with me throughout the years, ones i’ve met online and through here, ones that are no longer in my life but still contributed greatly. i wouldn’t have made it this far in life without you. thank you so much.

special shout out to Sylvan ( @transylvanianstarvation . love you brother.), Rory, and Sam. they helped me get through this year particularly. i’ve struggled a lot with mental health in the past, i will admit, so it’s surreal waking up with the previous notion that i would be deceased before now. it would be a curse not to be dead were it not for the amazing people in my life who helped me through it and who i wake up everyday to see.

to those people, you know who you are, thank you.

i love you all.
