MAYHEM's Necrobutcher To Be Exorcized On Live TV

Here's something I never thought I'd be writing about: Mayhem bassist Necrobutcher (or Jorn Stubberud as his mother yells up the stairs when he's done something wrong) has agreed to submit to a live excorsism on national television with famed evangelist Bob Larson. If that name sounds familiar, it's the same guy Glen Benton has sent numerous prank calls to. When pressed about why he's doing it, here is what Necrobutcher had to say:

"NRK is sending me over to Phoenix, Arizona next week. There's this famous preacher. I'm not a believer, so I think he's a quack. A very religious guy. He's an exorcist; that's what he does. I'm just there for the fun of it. He's gonna perform an exorcism on me on national TV. So it's gonna be wild as f— and, of course, I don't expect to suddenly be free from some demons or whatever. I'm just there for the fun of it and for the hell of it."

I can't think of a better way to end a statement about exorcism than saying "for the hell of it" can you? Here is what 'butcher had to say about religion in general:

"All religious people, when they talk about [how] they talked to God or God talked to them, stuff like that, I know it's a lie. Because they look at all the people, they speak in tongue, it's a mass, they get into that stuff, they think, 'If I behave like that guy, all the people will think that I truly have an open connection straight to God' or whatever. But for us, enlightened people, we know that it's all bulls—, that they're full of f—ing lies and shit. And that's why I'm there: to give a little punch and a kick in the ass to this little quack and people saying that they have direct contact with God and s— like that."

For a dude who I think is completely out of his mind, I have to say that I completely agree with what he's saying. I am greatly looking forward to this and the footage that comes out of it, because any time I think of Necrobutcher I think of this amazing scene in Metal: A Headbangers Journey, and this is exactly how I chose to remember him:
