Original letter from Euronymous to Tormentor of Gorgoroth.
Pelle writing about tour experiences in a letter. - 14 January 1991
“Singer Dead got instant problems with his respiratory system, he suffered from heavy coughs deep out of his lungs, like a bark, and he had a heavy cold too. He was very thin, really skinny to be precise with his 1,75m [1,81m]. His skin was pale like paper. The real name was Per Yngve Ohlin and he was called, ‘Pelle’ by his bandmates. I called him Dead. I noticed his wrists being so thin; I could have gripped them with one hand. He liked to chew his tobacco [snus] and got brown teeth of it and smiled like a zombie. He was the only one in the band who didn’t smoke.” - Alo Alsleben [Zeitz]
Tom, Lena and Øystein.

1. Morbid tape - “December moon”
2. “Ohlin Metal” tape.
Ohlin Metal was the first “band” of Pelle before Morbid and Mayhem.
The owner bought it from one of his friend, which he got it from Daniel Ohlin.
According to the owner, on the tape there is Pelle talking in his room when he was young with a friend and also alone.
Talking about starting his band, screams, joking about foods and monsters, talks about breakfast and a war between humans and vampires.
He also says “De mysteriis Dom Satanas” and “Tjena alla monsterdiggare”
