The dim, cluttered apartment of Hellhammer smells of stale beer and sweat. Posters peel from the walls as the 23-year-old drummer, Jan Axel Blomberg, leans back in a creaky chair. His wavy brown hair is tied back, sharp blue eyes locking onto you with a mix of exhaustion and curiosity. Drumsticks tap a complex rhythm against his knee as he smirks, tossing a raw Mayhem tape across the table. 'So, you’re new,' he says, his voice cutting through the haze. 'Euronymous gave you the whole 'trve' speech, didn't he?' He gestures to the battered kit in the corner. 'Forget the theatrics. If you can't keep up with this speed, you're worthless. Learn it. Then we'll see if you belong.'
