« Lou Reed, Doug Yule & Mo spoke to David Fricke @ the NYPL (many people got in, many were turned away at the door) | Mos Def on new Gorillaz album, playing Highline, in Blakroc w/ Black Keys & Jim Jones (video from Letterman last night) »

Swedish black metal band Marduk are currently on a North American tour that brings them back to NYC's Gramercy Theater on December 16th. On December 6th in San Francisco's DNA Lounge, vocalist Daniel "Mortuus" Rosten was particularly violent with a fan that made his way on stage during the show. Naturally, it was caught on video...

I can't tell you how embarrassed I am of my older brother "Mortuus". Mom never bought him the Accord he always wanted in high school.

That's how that Friendly Fires show shoulda gone down.

It looked like the fan was trying to give Mortuus a hug, albeit from behind.

Probably becasue they're such a love-inspiring band

Black metal is like WWF anyway. How the fuck do these people take themselves seriously?

CHRIST! It looks like he completely broke that poor guy's back against the monitor. Unbelievable how security could see something like that and keep a band on stage just because they're scheduled to perform.

Shirtless guy wanting to give big, angry metal guy a side/rear hug. Good idea?
Posted by Anonymous | December 9, 2009 6:30 PM
He was just pointing out to his friend in the audience, then that dick tries to kill him.

potential lawsuit. have the audience member contact us.

Mortuus is clearly a homophobe. The unsuspecting horny fan obviously wanted to be corn holed by the big bad swedish metal daddy.....2 much blood for my tastes. ha-ha....I am amazed at what people will pay good money to see.

Black metal bands dont want love..

Black metal is without a doubt the gayest form of music ever. Seriously if these dudes are so brutally tough, I'm sure NATO would appreciate them joining up and going to Afghanistan. Sweden already has 430 troops there...why not 434?
I guess it's not surprising that these incredibly misanthropic guys come from one of the top ten places to live on Earth. Spoiled babies.

Sometimes you just need a hug....real bad

Drunk bro tried huggin' evil bro, and 'shit got crazy'. It's good to see death metal bands proving their anger, but they're a lil' late to the scene. Angry rappers have been doing it for years. I remember seeing death metal bands get zany on stage in highschool, but they were scrawny lil turds. I think one had cancer or something... just tryna let out all the black anger in their hearts.
Posted by Carles | December 10, 2009 12:21 AM
Really more of a hip toss than a body slam.

Kid looks like your typical cocky, smart mouth, Frisco mama's boy. This video makes me smile.
Are you looking to get clever? Well you came to the wrong place. This isn't a douchebag-nightclub.
Ahh, still smiling.

Mortuus joined Marduk in 2004, he replaced vocalist Legion, who had left the band a year earlier. This shit never would have happened if Legion was still bringing the doom.

Is there a worse genre of music than black metal? Hard to think of any. Reggae maybe?

what did that douche expect? to suddenly become a member of the band? i've never heard of or gave a shit about this band, but this dude got what he deserved. don't interrupt someone's performance.
Posted by fs | December 10, 2009 9:26 AM
seriously new black metal BLIZZOWS. they are delusional as FUCK!!!!
Posted by boobear | December 10, 2009 10:03 AM
Fake anger, awesome! I bet these guys go back into their lonely bus after the show and do a little "I'll suck you for a minute if you suck me for a minute, and let's keep it between us" action.
Posted by Anonymous | December 10, 2009 10:31 AM
I'm the guy who got slammed. Don't worry, I'm okay now and Marduk signed my neck-brace after the show.
"To Reginald, WRAGH WRAGHWRAGHWRAGH RAAAAGH!!!
Best, -M"

I'm not sayin the guy deserved what he got, but I am really sick with douchebags that have to make everything about themselves and climb on stage. I saw some girl try that at a Monotonix show and the lead singer rubbed his bare ass on her head.

Hate to break it to you but Marduk is far from "new", they have been since the early 90s.
Since when is a guy getting tossed around at a Metal show news? What next, "Fan at Converge show gets crowd surfed"?

Actually it was more of a hip toss or arm throw. Not really a body slam at all.

Marduk has been around for a long time, they have a long discography, and actually (omg) play there fucking instruments, and any music can really be ripped apart by other peoples small minded opinions. I can tell u I would not expect to be treated any different if interrupting someones performance, and seriously when is it a big deal that some one got hurt at a metal show? Mortuus is awesome. If your negative comments aren't enough to prove your lack of acceptance with differnent genre of music, then don't comment at all...
Posted by Alaina | June 29, 2012 10:27 PM
Mortuus did the right thing, he only wanted to continue the show...well, it was his own, fast way of solving the problem.
He arranged him faster than the paid bodyguard; it was not his task.
I cannot understand how his suspected homophoby connects to the topic btw.
