| 1991 | After vocalist Dead died by suicide in 1991, guitarist Euronymous photographed the scene before contacting the police. One of the photographs was later distributed and became the cover of the unauthorized bootleg The Dawn of the Black Hearts. Former bassist Necrobutcher has stated that Euronymous sought to exploit the suicide to cultivate Mayhem's "evil" image, and said he considered killing Euronymous over his handling of the incident. The remaining members have consistently distanced themselves from the bootleg and its cover. | Source |
