Kjetil Esten Haraldsson Manheim, (November 27, 1968), went by the stage name Manheim and was the drummer for the infamous Norwegian black metal band Mayhem.
[edit] Biography
Manheim started Mayhem together with Jørn Stubberud (bass) and Øystein Aarseth (guitar) in 1984. Before Stubberud and Manheim met Aarseth they had played together in a few bands, not really satisfied with the projects. They started to hear the new sounds coming from the continent from bands like Venom and Sodom and being fans of the heavier bands from the 1970s they started to look for something new - harder and darker - and found it when they met Aarseth who shared the same ambitions, musically and not to forget - for a new, dark and extreme band.
Manheim left the band after the release of the album Deathcrush. Since then he has done little on the official musical scene apart from giving some interviews. His new passion in music is noise, and since 2001 he has done performances in Oslo together with Russell Haswell, Lasse Marhaug and the Norwegian duo Fe-mail.
