Despite being a bootleg, the album is sometimes listed as one of the band's main albums, mainly due to the notoriety regarding the cover art, which is an image of the late Mayhem vocalist Per "Dead" Ohlin shortly after he committed suicide.[4][5]

Background

The bootleg is a record of a live show that took place on 28 February 1990 in Sarpsborg, Norway. Metalion, an early figure in the scene who helped to organise this show, claimed that there were around 300 people in attendance and the members of Darkthrone and Immortal were present as well.[6]

Cover

The album cover bears a photograph of vocalist Dead (Per Yngve Ohlin), shortly after his suicide on 8 April 1991.[7] The photograph was taken by guitarist Euronymous (Øystein Aarseth), shortly after he entered the house the band shared and discovered the body.[8]

Bullmetal, a penpal of Euronymous and owner of Warmaster Records, was sent a copy of one of the photos Euronymous had taken of Dead's body. Euronymous had taken additional pictures of Dead's body in different positions (one of them with Dead "sitting half up, with the shotgun on his knee"), but these photos were later found and destroyed by Euronymous' father after he was killed in 1993, 2 years before the album bootleg was released.[9]

Release

According to Metalion, the bootleg was made and released by an individual from South America.[6] This individual has been identified as Mauricio “Bull Metal” Montoya from the Colombian metal scene, who was apparently a pen-pal of Euronymous. The latter is said to have given Bull Metal the photographs, which were used for the first printings of the bootleg in South America. However, some of these details are considered more mythical than substantiated.[10][11]

Dayal Patterson, a historian of metal, has referred to the live record as "perhaps the most bootlegged black metal release of all time."[12] The bootleg was the gateway to discovering Dead-era Mayhem for a number of later black metal musicians, such as Black Emperor of Spain's Supremacía Satánica, D of Indonesia's Warkvlt, and Semjaza of Greece's Thy Darkened Shade.[13]

The Dawn of the Black Hearts was officially reissued in 2017 on vinyl under the name Live in Sarpsborg, using a photo of Necrobutcher as a new cover. This 2017 release uses improved audio from a master source.[14]
