No, we don’t mean “Human” and “Eternal Nightmare.” We are raising a question regarding whether actual violence and death associated with music and art changes your perception of the artist and the work itself.

Specifically, does Burzum sound different to you knowing Varg killed Euronymous? Can you still listen to Burzum? More broadly, how do the actions of artists affect your enjoyment of their art, whether positively or negatively?

Ultimately, can you separate the art from the artist, and does Mayhem's music sound better to you given their history of violence.
