The weirdest band history you heard
A lot of band in music in general have really weird history, and even if we always hear about their story, Mayhem are far to be the most weird in my opinion. I know a lot of insane story but one that mark me for life is the story of the Italo-Slovenian gothic rock band Devil Doll. It's not necessarily the most extreme story, but it's really creepy. Of course, I don't have all the truth because I was not there when it happen but I think talking about what I know and maybe learn something about it by other people could be nice.
The band is formed in 1987 by Mister Doctor, i guy that no one knows the real name and who he really is until 2007, but that's not the thing. The band release a first album named "The Mark of the Beast", but only press one copy, so even if we can hear some song of the album in other release, no one ever heard the album completely other than the band member, and Mister Doctor himself keep it preciously at his home. He also paint the album cover himself and he described it as an "aural painting". But again, that's not the real weird thing about the band. The second album have been press in 500 copy and 150 of them include an insert written in Mister Doctor own blood that he distribute in the rare live gig that they did, and the rest have been burn by the guy. Their fourth album is talking about madness of a man living a life after his death, and it's supposely about Mister Doctor, you see? One other pretty weird thing related to this is that after the one and only interview he did as I know and it work pretty good with what he said, he said "It was the first and last interview of this life". And one day, he supposely disappear without saying something to someone before, he just disappear and even the band member don't know where he his. No one know where he his or whatever like this.
So of course, maybe it's just a character, but it stay really weird. And just listen to the music and you gonna see, it's extremely creepy and dark. The best example of this is the album "Dies Irae", their best one in my opinion that I highly recommend to everyone. Another story that I could have choose is the one of G.I.S.M, but I was founding it more like a dangerous band than a weird band. And I also recommend you to do your own search about Devil Doll to see how much the guy is weird, because I didn't talk about everything because it will be to long.
So, what is the most weird band story you ever heard?
