DARK FUNERAL Vocalist Says He Was 'Somewhat Impressed' By Fan's Murder Of Chilean Priest - Oct. 13, 2005
DARK FUNERAL vocalist Emperor Magus Caligula has commented on the murder of an Italian Catholic priest in Chile last year at the hands of a
self-proclaimed DARK FUNERAL fanatic.
On July 24, 2004, Rodrigo Orias, 26, slit Father Faustino Gazziero's throat, smeared his face with the victim's blood and then stabbed himself several
times in the chest and neck with the same knife while hundreds of churchgoers at Santiago's Metropolitan Cathedral watched in horror.
Orias (Photo #1, Photo #2, posing in Chile with MARDUK), who had a pentagram branded on the left side of his chest (covering his heart) and several other symbols
of the occult tattooed on his body ( photo of one of Orias' tattoos), reportedly asked Caligula during the Swedish black metal band's visit to Santiago in 2003 to burn an inverted
cross on Rodrigo's arm with a cigar ? a "mark" which Orias later planned to make into a tattoo.
Following the murder, DARK FUNERAL were bombarded with e-mails from the Chilean media wanting to know whether or not the band enourages their fans to
kill priests.
?I burnt him with a Cohiba, a very fine cigar," recalls vocalist Emperor Magus Caligula in the latest issue of the Swedish magazine Close-Up. "That
night is a bit of a blur, because I was wasted on Pisco, Chilean cognac. Anyway, this guy came up to me and asked me to burn a cross on his arm. I'm
not one to say no, so I puffed on the cigar to get it hot enough and he got his cross. I didn't press the cigar against his skin several times,
instead I dragged it like a soldering-iron up and down his arm. He didn't seem to be feeling any pain. He was ecstatic that he was able to meet us.
Afterwards we had our picture taken together and I thought he was a cool guy."
"Before we found out the name of the killer, I though it was another fan," says DARK FUNERAL guitarist Lord Ahriman. "A guy in Santiago [the capital
of Chile] just stood there crying when he met me. He knew everything about DARK FUNERAL. It was creepy. He'd bought the same guitar as the one I have,
a BC Rich Warlock, and he had desecrated graves to honor us. He said, 'My Lord, give me an order and I will execute it.'"
"People ask us if our music caused the murder. I don't think so," says Emperor Magus Caligula. "Sure, we sing about killing Christians and blood and
feathers falling from angels are present in a lot of the lyrics. Maybe the music triggered him somehow, but he probably would have harmed someone even
if he hadn't been listening to [DARK FUNERAL]. He was not well. But I have to say that I'm?er, SOMEWHAT impressed. He deserves some credit. You?re not
supposed to say that, but I don't care."Voodoobillyman - 10-13-2005 at 11:02 AM

black metal fans may very well be the most hilarious form of entertainment on the planet.Terror Aesthetic - 10-14-2005 at 12:06 AM
i enjoy a great deal of the music but those are about the silliest fucking people on earth. check out
No matter how many times I see those black metal pics they keep getting funnier, how can a music scene keep them so isolated from the real world that
they don't realize how fucking ridiculous they look.

corpse paint is the fucking best. i encourage all fans of black metal to do that shit up every day.XHonusWagnerX - 10-16-2005 at 10:38 AM
I wore corpse paint for one show my old band played. Most people didn't get the joke.
There's an awesome story about the guys in slapshot giving the singer of Imortal a ride to his hotel. I can't remember enough of the details to really
tell the story, but I know that it ended with him getting madder and madder because there were to many one ways and the driver couldn't get to the
hotel & he was pissed because he was runing late to catch a plane. He was also in full costume & corpse paint the entire time!Terror Aesthetic - 10-17-2005 at 03:59 AM
