2011-01-10 by Athom EMERITUS | 252 Comments
Black metal musician Jef Whitehead a.k.a. Wrest has been charged with sexually assaulting his 26-year-old girlfriend.

Whitehead, the man behind Leviathan and Lurker of Chalice as well as part of the black metal collective Twilight, is alleged to have choked and beaten his girlfriend. Court documents state that he is accused of smashing her head into the wall of his tattoo parlour until she passed out before raping her with a tattoo gun.

Whitehead is currently being held on a $350,000 bail.

Dead from mayhem committing suicide by slit wrists/shot gun to the head then writing a note that simply states "Excuse all the blood, cheers" followed by Euronymous taking pictures of it and making a stew and necklace of brain and skull fragments only to be brutally stabbed later on byVarg Vikernes is one of the most metal things ever.

yah no, he never slit his wrists nor did Euronymous make a stew and a neclace of skull fragments, those are myths and black metal being satanic is also a myth, it was never intended to be by its original creators

with that said, what this guy did doesn't really make a damn difference, shit like this happens daily except for once it was done by a member of an accredited bm band

What McCopper said, at least the first wave had some sort of goal other than complete and total nihilism. Their form of satanism was less silly than the total nihilism of these newer bands, even though the old ones were still pretty silly ideal wise.

Dude the first wave was never about Satanism.
Varg and Gylve never had satanic beliefs.The former just thought it's a cool subject.
And don't put all bands in the same bucket either.It's just that black metal is huge today (anyone with a guitar can play a basic black metal riff) and is filled with generic and cliche bands.Most of them are bad too.And they also think they are satanists.
They are not.Very few -if any- black (or other) musicians are true to any existing satanic "school" (like La'vey and so on).And some others are just fascinated by the subject (deathspell omega for example).
And because you expressed some negative feelings about this "scene" in general earlier on, I should inform you that black metal being as huge as it is, showcases many sub-subgenres as well, one very importand being the "blackened folk" as I like to call it (basicly black metal with folk influences) which is almost never about satanism.

I know this is general black metal and has little to do with the thread subject so uhm...sorry.

MrCopper is right
and I pointed this out as well
Satanism is second wave bm
none of the original creators ever intended bm to be satanic
the media after Varg and Faust were arrested called the scene Satanic
and so everyone who followed it afterwards used Satanism
as a lyrical theme in their music
(a.k.a Dark Funeral and Gorgoroth)

And no he wasn't exactly a satanist.
Quoting Varg "he wanted people to think he was extreme but he didn't WANT to be extreme".
In sort he was a pussy.He wanted an ego boost and I suppose having people believe that he is a satanist sacrificing virgins under the full moon and leading a "black metal mafia" was cool for him.

EDIT: And again by satanist, I don't mean he ever claimed to be practicing any satanic ritual or even believing to some sort of satan.It's more like a lifestyle for the image he wanted to create for himself.

Dude, first wave black metal is Venom, Celtic frost, Hellhammer, Mercyful fate and bathory.
Second wave is the "Norwegian black metal" in the early 90s, bands like Burzum, Mayhem, Darkthrone, Emperor and Immortal.

I think it's a bit strong to write him off as a sociopath I mean he's gotten half way through his life without doing anything like this before (that we're aware of) so probably does recognise what he's done is bad. But even if he's normally the nicest guy in the world if you're capable of losing your shit so completely you do something like this you need some serious imprisonment/medicating.

I am sorry but I will have to call you wrong on that.
Venom, Bathory, celtic frost and the rest of the gang are officially recognised as the first wave of black metal.
I agree that they don't share much with what we nowdays call black metal, since they pretty much played thrash with a-little-over-the-top vocals but you can't deny the term first belonged to them.

Well, i mean, the dude was obviously pissed off at something, i don't think he did it just to be kvlt or evil, the article at least doesn't make it sound like that. What if the bitch took all his music and copyrighted it under her name or something like that?

Obviously nothing she could have done is enough to warrant being raped by a tattoo gun, but nothing is being said yet about why he went apeshit.

honestly they are all pretty crazy, Faust aided in the church burning and is responsible for killing a middle aged man on the grounds that he was a homosexual, Euronymous led and advocated the church burnings, Dead killed himself and was hoped up on drugs like the rest of Mayhem, Varg killed Euronymous and is responsible for the burning of 17 churches

I'd have to say Darkthrone and Immortal are the sanest although Varg of Burzum is the most intelligible out of any of them

"so when he gets sentenced by a jury of his peers or pleads guilty to the charges will you be willing
to admit that he's an absolute piece of shit human being on a character level or are you gonna say
'but wait! we must wait for the appeals process to run its course!'"

On that same token, if it happens to turn out that he is acquitted of his charges, will you go back on your statements and say "nvm guy's not so bad?" The point is that while we all agree that something like this is a horrible thing for anyone to do, some of us would prefer to give another human being the benefit of the doubt and wait until yes, we see him through the due process he's entitled to before declaring him a douchebag that should rot in jail his whole life.

Take a quick look at the fundamental ideals of "true" black metal. They aren't necessarily constructive or positive, so it makes sense that a lot of nasty people would come out of it.

Would like to believe he didn't do this since I appreciate his body of work, but this isn't really the kind of thing one makes up. Guess we'll see. I agree with Wiz; wait for a verdict or at least his side of the story. Also saddens me to see the numerous (but somewhat expected) "lol black metal" comments and completely irrelavent arguing about Satanism and the members of Mayhem.

This isn't 100% fact. It wasn't his shop, he was doing a guest spot at somebody's shop. Also the report doesn't say it was a tattoo machine. It just says tattoo tools, witch could mean anything. It did not happen inside the shop either. It happened in a guest house/apartment that is attached to the shop. Not defending the guy, just think that if you are going to report on things that you should do a little bit more research.

Also his last girlfriend committed suicide because of the music he's into. Dudes kinda got a track record that's not so hot. I've met Jeff a couple times at some tattoo conventions and he was always kind of a dick witch is why I never got tattooed by him, even though he's a fucking awesome tattooer.

Oh, my heavens...I am seriously devastated by this. I freaking love Leviathan. I can't take it.

As a San Franciscan, I am in a cold chill about this. He was ours, damn it! All the talk I've had to wade through about dissing American Black Metal, but, we had Leviathan, here in Cali, so, could be proud...sigh. Damn it all! As a woman I really take offense to actions such as jamming tattoo instruments in your girlfriend. They were lovers, travelling together, weren't they? WTF happened? I really hope she will be ok.

I'm glad you enjoyed my comment, foreverendeared. I guess. I was trying to lighten up my mood about it, a bit. The weird thing, for me, is I really wanted to meet Jef Whitehead. I have enjoyed his music so very much. I even thought about trying to meet him, several months ago, when he was actually still living here, in SF. After all, I knew where the man worked.

If someone had asked me, a few months ago, who I thought I had half a chance of meeting first, Grutle Kjellson, Blake Judd, or Wrest, I would have said, undoubtedly, that I would probably have way more likely chance of meeting Wrest.

Thanks to the Regency Ballroom, I have now gotten to shake Blake's hand, and, I do believe it was I who greeted Grutle, with my eyes, as he was entering the Regency, for gig with Dimmu, back in Nov, (hee...sigh). I now know there is very little chance I will ever meet Wrest, nor, would I actually, at this point, even care to, which is a little disheartening, for me, in any case.

Now that I have gotten to meet Blake, it is hard not to speculate that it must be devastating for him to have to think about what has become of his friend...
