Fu fondatore della Deathlike Silence Productions, casa discografica rivolta principalmente alle band black metal emergenti e del negozio di dischi Helvete. Fu anche fondatore di una presunta cerchia criminale norvegese chiamata Inner Circle, una setta di persone seguaci del satanismo e del black metal che compirono diversi atti vandalici nei confronti di luoghi cristiani e, in alcuni casi, addirittura minacce e omicidi. È considerato una sorta di "padrino" della scena black metal norvegese.
