    I worked with Edwin in a tattoo shop in Southern California. Got to know him on a personal level. He was actually a great dude, would give you the shirt off his back. Everybody has their own demons. Rest in power Edwin.

    Wow, I knew Edwin when I was a teenager. He would invite my first band in high school to play at his compound(?) in Temecula. I remember there being wrestling events and genre-less shows where punk, metal and hardcore bands would play to audiences of sometimes no one and sometimes 100’s of kids. It was wild. Definitely had their CD and a few videos he would give out, but of course those have been lost to time. Just finding out he passed. He was always super kind and very supportive of independent bands in the area. Cool video. Much respect.

      Thats crazy, im the new drummer of a band called mob attack, and were practicing at that compound in the space that edwin did all of his self-torture videos and live shows. Currently the property is owned by Eva O, sweet lady who loved edwin. Shame i never got to meet him, although the cameras he filmed himself on are still running to this day, so in a sense its like edwin is watching us practice our dbeat.

    12:44 Correction: Eva O. never actually was in a relationship with serial killer Richard Ramirez, when she was youthful she wrote numerous love letters to him after his arrest and Ramirez responded to some of them, along with gifting her some of his own possessions - Eva was more of a “Groupie” to Ramirez, as morbid as that sounds.
    Eva O. was married to the frontman of the LA-based deathrock band Christian Death, Rozz Williams (and would later form the band Shadow Project with him) until Williams committed suicide in 1998. (I learned a lot of things about her when I was in my “Goth” phase when I was a teenager, she fronted the punk band Super Heroines in the 80’s (and wrote a song about Richard Ramirez called “Night Stalker”), she’s often credited as the ‘Godmother of Goth’.)
    Great video 👍

      “After reading this article in People Magazine, I wrote a song (Night Stalker) about him when he had just got arrested. I wanted him to hear it. In the beginning, people were bugging him a lot, so he blocked all visitors, and when we started writing, he got a court order so I could visit. I was his only visitor while he was in Los Angeles County for a good four or five years, if not more. We were pretty close for a long time. When he went to Orange County, he opened it up again, and he got bombarded by everybody, so I stopped."
      Literally for years, and ramirez came out and said he loved her. Doesn't because they didn't have a physical act doesn't mean they didn't have a relationship. Plenty of ppl locked up do

    It doesn't sound like Kettle Cadaver is my kinda thing personally, but the guy had a seriously excellent visual sensibility. The "Eva" sculpture looks genuinely unsettling, I like that he spent a lot of time on the face and costume, yet that one outstretched hand, he intentionally left as a gnarled tree limb, very effective. I never knew about them and it's sad to hear that he took his own life. "Coffin Bangers" I just love that title for a song. In a world filled with artists who capitulate to the music industry, fans ect, it's always inspiring to hear about people who truly seek their own vision and deliver.

    Awesome video!
    I met Eva O back in 2005. She traveled with us (on bus in the band I was playing in called “Seraphim Shock”) from Las Vegas to Hollywood. I had no idea who she was at the time. But I later was told she was in the band Christian Death. She was really friendly and down to earth. I ended up talking with her for hours. She never once mentioned anything of her following. Which made me respect her even more. She was very humble.
    It’s unfortunate that she seems to have a tragic past with her boyfriends. Edwin, Rozz Williams, Richard Ramirez. All are deceased.

It was like some lawless house where anything could happen. A beacon for fucked up kids to go and listen to music and party. Sure, some people were out there and did some wild stuff but a lot of good people hung around there. Also, Sure, some bad people were around too but overall I have nothing but fond memories over there.

I remember meeting Edwin outside of a show and he was handing out flyers for one of his shows. He seemed super genuine, he wasn't bashing us for being Christian or anything; he was just saying "You guys are into extreme and emotional music, you should come check out my show". I wish I would have, that would have been pretty awesome.

    The big difference between Edwin and most other performers is that most performers adopt personas on stage to entertain, whereas Edwin's lifestyle and method of artistic expression walked around with him, slept with him, was him.

    I first met Edwin at a bar through a mutual friend, and he was an intense guy for sure, but was genuinely interested in hearing other people’s stories.
    His band and my band played a lot of the same venues, and we were sort of lumped in with any visual/metal bands so we had knowledge of each other. We still have a copy of the “A Taste of Blood” DVD at our studio, and I have to say it is brutal to watch!!!
    Our lead singer has actually been in the back house that Edwin built. He was showing him around and pointing out all of the weapons and such, and then said “and over there is my He-Man collection’…and sure enough he had a collection of He-Man action figures.
    The craziest thing I remember him doing (aside from what you couldn’t describe) was nailing his arms to a 2x4 at the Showcase theater in Corona, CA and then pretty much passing out.

    I met him about 15 or so years ago at a record shop/live stage in Medford, Oregon as him and the band were touring up the West Coast. We shook hands, talked for quite a while about all sorts of stuff, went through black metal albums. It was cool getting to know him a little bit... before we parted ways he gave me one of their 'A Taste of Blood' DVDs. Edwin lived a rough and extreme life, suffered a broken heart of the worst kind and tragically left this world by his own hand far too young, far too soon. He was a genuinely warm and kind person in my experience, and I was happy to have met him. There's a wondrous, unspeakable Throne in Hell for him to reign upon in Eternal Black Glory with unending ale and dope always at hand... HAILS, brother.
    Footnote: I like Kettle Cadaver, but to be honest it's not heavy enough for my tastes. I generally like my metal corpsepainted and BLACKER THAN A WITCH'S HEART...

He was a super cool dude, I spent many of nights throwing back beers with the guy til dawn only to go pick up more beer, lol. Mostly in the late 90s or early 2000s.

The club smelled like burning skin during their show. I was, like, 15.

    Wrong about his birth. Edwin Borsheim was born in 1977 in Klepp, west coast of Norway. 20 min drive from Stavanger. His father was the respected blues guitarist, Per Lorentz Borsheim, who died in 1985, only 38 years old. Edwin moved with his mother to California when he was 13. He was obviously deeply demon possessed.
