Euronymous - Might Be Honored By Norwegian Airline
According to The Guardian, a Norwegian airline is extremely close to using legendary black metal musician Euronymous (Øystein Aarseth) on the tail fins of one of their jumbo jet planes.
To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the carrier is asking passengers to vote on a new set of heroes for their aircraft's tailfins. Voters can take part by voting for which ever notable Norwegian figure they like - as long as they are dead - and the one with biggest boost will get to adorn the extremities of an aircraft in the fleet of Norwegian Airlines. You can place your votes here. Euronymous was killed by his bandmate Varg Vikernes in August 1993.
After being put forward by a local nominating committee, the Mayhem co-founder has collected the highest share of votes, leading over Trond André Bolle, a soldier who died in 2010, and the Lutheran reformist Hans Nielsen Hauge. The contest closes today, March 28th.

A satanist proudly flying that high just under God's nose? Sounds like an act of provocation! Beware of his wrath and thunderbolt, you evil Norwegian airline I'm eager to see if they will go for Euronymous and if so, what it will look like, but anything looking similar to this pic would be awesome

Is Terje "Valfar" Bakken on there? I'd have rather voted for the Windir man than this murdered bloke.

Written by Until the End on 28.03.2012 at 14:48 Well, if you haven't already voted for Euronymous, you can fin Valfar on the Bergen list, but he's only on the 45th position. Also, if you cast a vote on a list you cannot do the same on the others, thus vote wisely. It's a pitty I didn't know about Valfar, I would''ve voted for him as well.

Written by atrox on 28.03.2012 at 14:26 Probably just badmouthing it as a conspiracy or something because he's jealous that Euronymous is viewed moreso as the godfather of Norwegian black metal than he is.

The plane will crash if Euronymous is pictured on it. You heard it here first folks! The Jiri prophecy of doom. You'll see. You all will see!

I read a bit about Euronymous' ideology, it seems aside from the music he was quite fucked up. He wanted, together with Varg, to blow up Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim which imo is one of the most beautiful buildings on earth, but then again I mostly voted him for the lulz.

Kinda sad that the best hero Norway has is a black metal musician. This is awesome though!

I remember sometime ago there was also a similar vote about picking the most iconic figure of Suffolk. And Dani Filth was an option. Obviously everyone voted for him for the lulz but the organizers cancelled the votes. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-news/8239258/Suffolk-tourist-board-embarrassed-after-metal-band-Cradle-of-Filth-voted-countys-greatest-icon.html Even if it'd be funny to see Euronymous on a plane, I think it might suffer the same problem as the one above.

What a great idea. I want un-aerodynamic chains and spikes on it too. Maybe black hellfire shooting out of the turbines!
