Pelle, "Dead" Ohlin.⛧

Born into the gorgeous landscape of the Swedish countryside to a single mother, Pelle Ohlin resided in a small rural village with the little family he had. Growing up he'd been particularly close to his mother being without a father figure after conception. The two maintained a well off, humble and hardworking life thereafter.

Tragedy had struck when a lifethreatening incident at a young age would change his life forever, causing deep rooted psychological and emotional trauma. He knew from a young age he'd been considered "different" - at the ripe age of 10, Pelle discovered the power of (metal) music and held to it dearly, even his mother remained supportive despite wishing for a more orthodox hobby. Unfortunately, not many saw things his way - he'd been prone to bullying and harassment throughout his adolescent years, that later caused a near-death experience from a terrible beating. Doctors found a ruptured organ that momentarily caused him to flat-line but were able to resuscitate him sucessfully.

From then on, he was never the same, nor did he see life as it once was. He'd strongly believes he should have died that day, and that his life is a long dream simply waiting to be awoken from. His corpse 'persona' is highly influenced from his past experience, believing he's not truly a human being or one of this world. The obsession of death, the macabre and the afterlife played a crucial portion of his later years to come.Many seem to think he's just another psychotic front-man of the typical metal band, yet they couldn't be farther from the truth.

Pure Fucking Armegeddon.⛧

At the age of 15, he and a couple of local, like-minded rowdy boys grouped together to start their own band deemed Morbid by Pelle himself. Though Morbid was short-lived , they recorded one demo together and would eventually part ways the next year. That very demo would give Pelle the opportunity of a lifetime soon thereafter.

Upon finding out the Norwegian band MAYHEM, just a country over was in need of a vocalist, he would jump at the chance hastily. He sent them Morbid's demo tape that would both blow them away and scare the group half to death. Immediately Dead's grotesque characteristics would rear its ugly head when he'd enclose a piece of roadkill wrapped onto a small wooden makeshift cross along with the tape. Dead would be the new face of MAYHEM soon moving to Norway at the age of 16, performing small time gigs with them around local areas. The nickname 'Dead' had surfaced that year and from then on, he was referred to by that name only as it carried personal significance to Pelle. It wasn't some "rad" stage name, but how he truly envisioned himself, to be among the dead and lived his life as such. He took his music very seriously, and incorporated the occult and much of the brutality he carried from his music, onto himself. Being plagued by depression and anxieties from his upbringing, self-harm and becoming lost within himself was common practice to him, including slitting his own wrists and arms during performances. This very raw, emotionally driven energy was what gave the band their unique noise. Upon Dead turning 18, they were able to reach bars and bigger venues than before, setting their sights on touring big time Metal festivals and recording studio albums. Dead not only created a new sound and look for the Metal world, but took the biggest risk in doing so - making it darker and brutal than ever. ⛧

Miscellaneous.⛧

⸸ Forever 18 years of age and timeline flexible !

⸸ Dead currently resides in the "Hell House", a comfortable cottage in Norway out in the woods for practicing and temporary residence for the other band members (though most of the time, he's left alone).

⸸ He adores comic books, writing letters, metal music, his band, fantasy, the occult and satanism, Transylvania and all things horror especially through films and art.

⸸ Not much of a drinker - he apparently cannot hold alcohol very well, nor does he like the taste too much.

⸸ He's an amazing artist and loves to doodle whenever he can, whether that be for promotional or personal reasons. His works can be seen for Morbid's demo tape and other material he's made for MAYHEM as well. All stemming from a deep rooted dark place within him.

⸸ The Hell House does not have many connections to the outside world, and only supplies band equipment and Pelle's room. When he's able or has the funds, which is far and few in between, he manages the long trips into town on public transit or with a band members vehicle. Letters are his main way to communicate with family and friends back at home, as well as a few pen pals.

⸸ Being a multifaceted individual, he also was skilled with drums along with being a vocalist and illustrator.

⸸ Dead is a very introverted, timid and quiet individual - though he's got a dark sense of humor and is shown to those he's most comfortable with. He enjoys spending most of his time secluded deep within the woods where he feels "most at home" or in graveyards.

⸸ He is known for burying his stage clothing to get the raw "stench of death" on him, even going as far to collect roadkill and huffing its scent before shows to "breathe in death" itself.
