Mortiis. He came out of the crazy-ass Scandinavian black metal scene that
was big in the late 80s and early 90s. Several artists from that scene have
been jailed for burning down churches, killing bandmates and other scary
stuff. His work since going solo has been more on the dark
orchestral-industrial side of things.
And as a trivia note - it's been rumoured that his pointed ears and hooked
nose were created using plastic surgery and were permenently attached, but
they're just make-up. When I met him briefly last year (long story...), he
was pretty soft-spoken and looked like a normal guy (albeit with long hair
and tattoos).
