Hank Von Helvete
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans Erik Husby, known by a few stage names such as Hertis or Hank Von Helvete, meaning Hank Von Hell, (born June 15, 1972) is the lead vocalist of Norwegian death-punk band Turbonegro. Husby's band is most well-known for their tongue-in-cheek humor dealing with homosexual aesthetics and punk rock antics, and the formation of a genre they label "death punk". The band formed in the early 1990's and put out a few records before disbanding in 1998 after Husby's mental breakdown while on tour in Italy due partly to heroin addiction.
Husby went through detox while living at the Moskenes island in Lofoten, Norway. Here he worked at Norsk Fiskeværsmuseum in Å, as well as working as a presenter at Moskenesradioen, a local radio station.
While in Lofoten, Husby also went to several schools in the area, talking about his drug addiction and warning young people about drugs.The band reformed in 2002 after his successful rehabilitation.
One of Husby's favorite singers is David Bowie. He is a supporter of FC St. Pauli, a German football-club.
Husby has in numerous interviews stated that he is a confessing Christian.
During a Norwegian TV show in 2005 Husby was asked this question from the TV host: "Do you like plants, Hank?". On this Hank replied "No, but I've been addicted to one".
