The Dawn of the Black Hearts was officially reissued in 2017 on vinyl under the name Live in Sarpsborg, using a photo of Necrobutcher as a new cover. ĭayal Patterson, an historian of metal, has referred to the live record as 'perhaps the most bootlegged black metal release of all time.' The bootleg was the gateway to discovering Dead-era Mayhem for a number of later black metal musicians, such as Black Emperor of Spain's Supremacía Satánica, D of Indonesia's Warkvlt, and Semjaza of Greece's Thy Darkened Shade. However, some of these details are considered more mythical than substantiated. The latter is said to have given Bull Metal the photographs, which were used for the first printings of the bootleg in South America. This individual has been identified as Mauricio “Bull Metal” Montoya from the Colombian metal scene, who was apparently a pen-pal of Euronymous.

Release Īccording to Metalion, the bootleg was made and released by an individual from South America. Euronymous had taken additional pictures of Dead's body in different positions (one of them with Dead 'sitting half up, with the shotgun on his knee'), but these photos were later found and destroyed by Euronymous' father after he was killed in 1993, 2 years before the album bootleg was released. īullmetal, a penpal of Euronymous and owner of Warmaster Records, was sent a copy of one of the photos Euronymous had taken of Dead's body. The photograph was taken by guitarist Euronymous (Øystein Aarseth), shortly after he entered the house the band shared and discovered the body.

The album is infamous and controversial for bearing a photograph of vocalist Dead (Per Yngve Ohlin), shortly after his suicide on 8 April 1991. For broader coverage of this topic, see Dead (musician) § Self-harm and suicide.
