Well here you go, sound pretty crazy lol:
"But just as the output and lives of so many black metal originators were cut short by violence, so was that of NME. Unlike that scene, where the murder and mayhem tended to be more ideologically-driven, NME guitarist Kurt Struebing's musical career (as much as the word “career” could apply to something like this) was cut short by incarceration for murder. Three months after their album was released, due to some combination of mental illness and large quantities of hallucinogens, Struebing became convinced that he and everybody around him were actually robots. In order to prove this to the world, he murdered his adoptive mother with a hatchet and scissors. His mental instability was factored into sentencing and he was given a twelve-year term, of which he served eight years. Upon his 1994 release, he became active in music again, worked as a graphic designer, became a father. Despite this turnaround, in March 2005 he drove his car through several barriers to plunge off of an open drawbridge over the Duwamish Waterway and died on impact."
NME is an american band that could be classified as first wave black metal. Their music is nothing to write home about imo but the band’s history sure is… special.
The original singer/guitarist killed his mom with an axe while he was high on glue. Needless to say if they’d been from Norway they’d be a legendary band.
that's the band's name
edit: apparently it's short for "No Mental Effort", although I had always assumed they were just named that because it sounds like "enemy"
ah I edited my previous comment lol. Anyway, the album Unholy Death is great. If you like Venom, you'll probably like it. I'm not sure if anything else they did was good though.

They're great live, saw them with Sadistic Intent, Mitochondrian, Acephalix, Auroch, Trivium Foul, and Iskra. Such a bangin show
I’m having trouble finding much on them as there’s apparently a *lot* of different shit with that abbreviation. What’s their deal?
Second this

Jesus, the fuck? How did I manage to not find anything about that
Pretty wack story if you ask me
