The Resume

    (1973- )
    One-man black metal project of Count Grishnackh, aka Varg Vikernes
    Birth name is Christian Vikernes
    Recorded 'Burzum' (1992), 'Aske' (EP-1993), 'Det Som En Gang Var' (1993), 'Hvis Lyset Tar Oss' (1994), 'Filosofem' (1996), 'Daudi Baldrs' (1997), 'Hlidskjalf' (1999) and 'Ragnarok:A New Beginning' (2001)

Why he might be annoying:

    He is fiercely anti-Christian and a racist.
    His vocals are horrified-sounding screams and wails of torment.
    He was under suspicion of burning historic churches in Norway.
    On the cover of his 1993 release, 'Aske,' there was a picture of a burned out church (thus adding more credibility to the rumor of him burning churches).
    He was jailed in 1993 after murdering the frontman of Mayhem, a black metal band, also from Norway.
    He stabbed Euronymous, the guitarist from Mayhem, 23 times over a supposed album dispute.
    He is in jail.
    He changed his music style from black metal to ambient keyboard music.
    He escaped jail in Norway, but was caught in a car chase.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He still records albums while incarcerated, although his 'Burzum' project is now mostly synth (keyboard) based.
    He is proud of his Norwegian heritage.
    Instead of making albums that were laden with Satanic imagery (like most of the Norwegian black metal groups of the 90's), he instead focused on Norse myths and folklore as his musical inspiration.
    He played all the instruments (guitar, bass, drums, keyboards) on his albums.
