APOSTASY Guitarist Stabbed To Death - Mar. 9, 2006
Guitarist Henrik Johansson of the Swedish black metal band APOSTASY was murdered in his home Wednesday night/Thursday morning (March 8/9), the group's frontman, Fredric Edin, told BLABBERMOUTH.NET. "According to the police, his girlfriend stabbed him without known reason in his heart area and he bled to death before the ambulance showed up!" Edin said.

Added Fredric: "Rest in peace, dear brother and friend."

APOSTASY's second full-length album, "Devilution", was released last year via Black Mark Records. The follow-up to 2004's "Cell 666" was recorded at Studio Undergound in Västerås, Sweden.

This was on the headlines on swedish newspaper Aftonbladet this morning. "Rock star stabbed to death by 19- year old woman" or something like that it said.

my best guess is that his his girlfriend was under the influence of drugs. or maybe she was just a psycho bitch.

thus i have spoken.

but i think what rhimamilo was saying is that these guys go around glorifying death, murder, evil etc. when in fact in real life all those things cause is hurt and are terrible things. If you advocate it and surround yourself with that message then you can expect fucked up people around you to take it too far!

Of course it is very sad that the guy actually died but maybe this will make black metal fans actually think about what all this shit means when it happens for real. I'd never say any music should be silenced and musically black metal is incredible but i dont understand how you can really truly be a follower of that message regardless of religion or whatever, it hurts when it happens man.

Well.. dont belive eveything you read... According to he´s friends he was NOT violent. So we just have to wait and see why she did it

First of all;Henrik Johansson was not violent and did certainly not beat up his girlfriend. It makes me said to see people make judgements without knowing him at all. And second; to all of those who say that we - black metal fans - ask for it, no one in Apostasy is outspoken satanist neither do we hail death and torment. However, in all cases; dont judge a dead man. The wrong man died once again... / Leif Högberg - Keyboards Apostasy

so come on then why did she do it. not exactly your everyday behavior from a woman is it. im not judging anyone just curious

3/10/2006 7:35:18 AM

why was john lennon shot? I´d say that the girl has some mental issues and Henrik got in the way. No need for an everyday argument to result in stabbing is there?...

that some people just are mentally disturbed and I bet Mark Chapman didn´t need any reason to shoot john lennon, and the same reason goes for henkes girlfriend for stabbing him if you ask me... enough said from me...
