Musical career

Wongraven was a founding member of Satyricon (although the band had been around for a short length of time as Eczema without him) and have so far released nine albums, two demos, and a live DVD. He has also contributed to other bands such as Darkthrone, Eibon, Storm, Thorns, Black Diamond Brigade and Wongraven. About black metal, he stated "It, black metal, doesn't necessarily have to be all satanic as long as it's dark."[1] He has recently been endorsed by ESP Guitars.[2]

Health

Wongraven was diagnosed with a brain tumor in late September/early October 2015, which he says does not need to be removed surgically, "as long as it does not grow bigger."[3]

gollark: *magic*
gollark: I think that it'd basically create the following lists:0 1 1 21 1 2 3 (shifted ahead by one)and then sum them to1 2 3 5
gollark: You know, given the existence of the automatic pointfree-izer thing... we need a thing to automatically run this on entire projects.
gollark: ```haskell(....) :: ((a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> c) -> c) -> (((a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> c) -> a1 -> b) -> (a2 -> (a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> c) -> a2 -> c(....) = ((.) .)<$> (*>) (. (.)) (<*>) . ((.) >>= (. ((.) . (.)))) . ((>>) >> (<$>))```
gollark: Wow, it is very slow.
