Euronymous bullet belt(Update: Certified in writing by Metalion!!)

This is Euronymous's actual bullet belt. I aquired this from Aslak, who worked at Helvete and was a known individual in the early Norwegian scene. Aslak had access to many items, and has sold most of it to Oslo based Neseblod Records. He purchased it from Hellhammer soon after Euronymous's death. Proof can be provided if one seeks verification. Unfortunately some of the bullets were given to friends in the early '90s, and some "heads" have since fallen off the shells. One thing that is remarkable is the size, its very small, I would estimate a size 30-32 in American terms. Regardless of it's condition, this IS Euronymous's belt, and is the one he can be seen wearing in most photos of the time.


Burzum Demo tape belonging to Euronymous: inscription by Varg Vikernes

Donated to the museum by Runhild Gammelsæter, she states:


"The authentic demo tape of Burzum "Burzum" on recordable cassette which Varg recorded himself at home and sent to Øystein Aarseth. (Editors Note: Varg's rather distinctive handwriting can be seen on this. Later I was informed it was sent to Øystein (Euronymous) to see if he would release it on DSP). Øysteins parents let his friends have his possessions when he was killed, and I was dating one of his friends who aquired this. When he was going to break it I salvaged it. It is quite a funny object, because it is a re-used recordable cassette he must have taken from his mother. There is a small sticker on the end which says "Cat Stevens", and "Burzum" is hand written over "Metallica" on the tape. On side B he has filled in the empty space with Darkthrone (probably
to tape over the Cat Stevens...)." 

Knife from Helvete Shop

This knife was one of the "wall decorations" hung up in Euronymous's shop Helvete, it can be seen in the "Lords of Chaos" book as well as in the movie "Until the Light Takes Us". It was taken by one of Euronymous's friends immediately after the murder. I obtained it from him. Anyone who ever visited the shop will immediately recognize this. You can see a still from "Until the Light Takes Us" below the pic, the rather ugly, touristy looking knife is on the top right hand side. In a very, very bad quality.
