borg
Börg was born into a family of devout evangelical satanists living in Malmo, Sweden. His mother, Dagmar, named him Jurgen, Scourge of the Papists, Machine of Anihalation, and Fulfilment of the prophecy of Västerbotten.
Borg was a prodigal child, composing thrash metal ditties that made the other kindergarten kids cry. His mastery of the glockenspiel was legendary in preschools across rural Sweden.
His parents, recognising their four-year-old son’s need for a better method of expression, and noting his lack of upper-body strength, bought him several large sheets of metal and two lump hammers; Borg had his first drum kit.
After destroying the plate metal, he moved onto cars, and then, when he was taken away from his parents, the kneecaps of children’s care workers.
Yo-yoing in and out of care institutions, his parents launched daring raids whenever they weren’t in prison, and Borg got to see the wide world from the back of a stolen Volvo. When his parents were thrown in jail for a thirty-year stretch, Borg was taken to a juvenile prison, where his councillor wrote;
Borg: For the love of the good lord, please don’t let this child get his hands on anything made of metal.
While in juvie, he formed his first band with two other remedials; after one of them made a drummer joke, Borg was committed to a high-security mental hospital.
But chains cannot constrain the desire to make fine death metal, and soon Borg was free, though on the run. He escaped across the border to Finland, and then into soviet Russia. He spent his teenage years breaking legs for the Leningrad crime boss, Anatoli Semyonov.
