If there was an award or some type of reconigtion for "Best Black Metal Drummer" I say it should go to Hellhammer. Hearing him in Mayhem & Dimmu Borgir, just damn great.
always put on a fucking fantastic show. ive learned tons from watching him play and i hope someday to be able to play good enough to wipe his ass, cause he is by my standards the best drummer in the world.
@SlamTilDeath I think I read somewhere that his grandparents (or maybe even further parents) are Moroccan. The stuff about him being racist is a bit unclear, since he later said that he does not care which nationality or race his fans are. He did mention in an interview that he was proud of Faust killing a gay man, which is not very nice to say the least.
Joey- The song that plays at the beginning and end of this video is "Sorgens Kammer Del II" by Dimmu Borgir. The music video for it is pretty spiffy, as well.
I saw him with Mayhem 2 days ago, and it was fuckin awesome, he's an extremely skilled drummer. he's in my top 3 fav drummers along with george kollias (Nile)and flo mounier (Cryptopsy) Those are the 3 best drummers for me, and they all have their very own style =)
at an instore back in 2003. He signed a few of my Mayhem and Arcturus cd's(including the sham mirrors, which was new at the time) and because i knew the guy that owned the store, i got to hang around and chat to him a bit afterwards.
@XDahliaXHideX 'Well yeah, I started with Dimmu of one and a half year ago being asked to do the re recording of Storblasts, and of course I said yes, y'know, no problem. I mean it worked out very well being close friends as we always are and y'know, living in the near, it felt very natural to continue to do the studio and tourings and stuff' :D
he is definetely norwegian, i can hear it cus i am myself, and you were talking about the song in the backround: "Sorgens Kammer Del 2" thats norwegian, and in english it means: "chamber of sorrows part 2"
He could be a Spanish descendant. Some Norwegians are Spanish descendants because some Spanish people became shipwrecked in Norway and couldn't get back to Spain (this was centuries ago). That's at least what I've heard (I am Norwegian).
BTW: When I write "if you belive(...)" a haven't write about you personaly, it's a theoriticaly builded sentence with an peronalized subject. Smth like rhetorical question but in affirmative sentence. Read between the lines to.
No, they didn't say that directly about Dimmu. But NRK (the norwgian TV-guys) cut it together so it semmed like they did. After the documentary was sent, they said they were never talking shit about Dimmu.
He left Dimmu Borgir about 2 years ago. He was just a short period drummer there to finish DB's to albums. And DB is full of damn good artists, so why not to help his friends.. He's close friends with the guys of Dimmu. (ICS Vortex is in the same band, Arcturus, with HH)
I know he's racist, or at least was racist, i.e. "Black metal is for white people" You cannot tell me Hellhammer is 100% white scandinavian lol, there's definitely some arab or spaniard blood in there somewhere
btw, I like Dimmu Borgir because they have a good sense of musicality and don't sound "dumbed down", meaning, it doesn't sound like they pick this or that riff because that's all they know how to play. They are creative and able to do quite a bit within their style. From a bigger context, (and not trying to offend anyone), they are just a pretty good band from Norway with decent songs and some variety. But at least they don't let the "black metal" name make them sound unoriginal or uninspired.

Hellhammer is one of the friendliest musicians i've ever met. He just has a real pleasant manner about him. Very polite.
If there was an award or some type of reconigtion for "Best Black Metal Drummer" I say it should go to Hellhammer. Hearing him in Mayhem & Dimmu Borgir, just damn great.
Finally saw him play live last night and he is the best drummer I have ever seen... amazing

Pakketeretet When did he say that he doesn't care what race his fans are? Is there an interview or clip where he said it, because I'm sure he's racist
greatest drummer alive. ever. no doubt!
I'm really happy he plays with Dimmu borgir now!!!

He could be a Spanish descendant. Some Norwegians are Spanish descendants because some Spanish people became shipwrecked in Norway and couldn't get back to Spain (this was centuries ago). That's at least what I've heard (I am Norwegian).
What's the song this video finishes with? It's fuckin great.

@BloodPython67 well, he's been touring with Mayhem since 1988
Hur är det med hans skada i nacken/axeln? Och visst stämmer det att han blev pappa?
You pinched my nerves to unimaginable proportions. And yes he is; I am actually changing my name to his. I may even tattoo his face over mine.
Fuck I wish I had an accent like that.. Sooo bad ass!

Mohammad Zahi Al Hasan dimmu borgir sorgens kammer del 2

I'm agree
name of this song?
@VeilsItWhite
I asked that on a Dimmu vs COF video but no one answered... can't get the riff out my head.
He left Dimmu Borgir about 2 years ago. He was just a short period drummer there to finish DB's to albums. And DB is full of damn good artists, so why not to help his friends.. He's close friends with the guys of Dimmu. (ICS Vortex is in the same band, Arcturus, with HH)
Thats my second causin! :)
God of Drummers!
True.
ok thanks ^^
Erm...Dimmu Borgir. From the album Stormblast, the song sorgens kammer.
I only write my thoughts... and I see that our opinions are equal :)
I'll second that!
why didn't they say anything about mayhem in the beginning
My drumgod
What's the song playing in the start? Fuck,my mind froze.
Midnightfog dimmu borgir sorgens kammer del 2
Immortal fucking owns
@jhuyyg Hehe,i found it immediately but thanks a ton for being kind,buddy! :)
@gloomn8 I'm pretty sure i've listened to that song a lot of times,i'm not that big of a Dimmu fan though,thanks for the tip.
@benelijah12 Then Frost, Nicholas Barker, Inferno, George Kollias and Emil
I know he's racist, or at least was racist, i.e. "Black metal is for white people" You cannot tell me Hellhammer is 100% white scandinavian lol, there's definitely some arab or spaniard blood in there somewhere
Lol, yeah he does look Spanish .
Javla dod Even if he is mixed, lots of mixed people reject their non-white side.
Javla dod Or his one side may have mixed generations ago. A balkan for example.
Latinhammer se nota que no es nórdico es mestizo como los sudamericanos
@@judithvaras2952 "latinhammer" hahahaha
haha, I have to love the Norwegian-English speaking way, it's so bloody cool
@GuidoMetallo He is half Moroccan.
Is there valid evidence?
Sorgens Kammer - Del II ( Bonus Track ) from Stormblast 2005....
Best damn drummer in the world.
Well in some way I live next door, I'm from Poland.

True story,very friendly guy :)
Ah ok, I didn't know that, thanks.
yes...very good job...Antestor is so nice
thanks a lot bro, keep fuckin supportin metal

hellhammer the best he owns everyone
his accent is awesome...
@LadyLynd Yes. At first Hellhammer learnt from Jazz music. I know this some time ago.
I love Gorgoroth, Mayhem, Burzum etc. But Dimmu ain't no poser shit
Hellhammer FTW \m/

I feel bad for him, he went through A LOT with Mayhem.
question:

does he has anything to do with hellhammer the band?
I know!! He sounds JUST like Skwisgar!!
