Hades

Hades is identified in the account as a Bergen Black Metal band, with guitarist Jørn Inge Tunsberg drawn into the disputes surrounding the fire at Åsane Church. The evidence connects the band to the Norwegian Black Metal scene through Tunsberg, but does not describe Hades’ musical style, membership beyond him, or activities as a group in detail.

Identity and Scene

The band is named among Bergen’s Black Metal groups, and Tunsberg is identified as its guitarist. The account does not attribute the church fire to Hades as an organization; its claims and allegations concern individuals associated with the scene.

Connection to the Åsane Church Fire

Vikernes referred to the person involved in the Åsane Church fire as a less intelligent person used by the Black Circle. The account identifies that person as Tunsberg and says Vikernes’ disparaging description partly irritated him and contributed to his later decision to speak to police.

Disputed Testimony

Vikernes later alleged that Tunsberg testified in court that Vikernes had burned Åsane Church, while Tunsberg had also participated in the fire. Vikernes further claimed that, in Tunsberg’s own case, Tunsberg denied involvement and the court did not believe him. These are presented as Vikernes’ accusations; the account does not establish them as independent findings about Hades or the band’s conduct.
