Euronymous typewritten, signed letter 1993

This is a letter Euronymous (Øystein Aarseth) typed and signed, and sent to Svein Egil Hatlevik from Fluerety (who I sometimes drum with, hence me recieving this gem). The letter roughly reads:

"here's your Burzum and Mayhem records, I'm working on releasing the Emperor/Enslaved split, Helvete shop has closed down for now."

The signature is written in pen, in English it translates as "war and sodomy", and has what looks like a communist star, amongst other fanciful decorations. Sorry about the picture quality but it is framed and I was hesitant to remove it. The letter is from 1993.

A close up of the signature also below, if anyone has any indication as to what the scrawlings are, please feel free to let me know.

Burzum cassette

This is a Cymophane/Necropolis version of Burzum's 1993 "Det Som Engang Var".  It is unplayed and literally in perfect shape. Varg left the Deathlike Silence label and started Cymophane, then licenced this to Necropolis. Very, very few were made as Necropolis, according to Varg, ripped him off, hence he considers this a "bootleg" but it is an official release. Misanthropy soon released it on cd/vinyl on their label. Only cassetes were made and they were only available in the US. It even has translations in English.
