This - which appears to be a profile of King - states that his birth year is 1974. I decided to put this in (although I understand that it was removed due to being unsourced) as I felt this was trustworthy, indeed it got the birth years of other Norwegian black metal musicians correct. I understand that this however, may also merit original research. But if I may ask, should we include the birth year based on that result?

It is obviously the correct person, so I don't see why it shouldn't be included. The link above is to his tax details from 2006, from official Norwegian tax listings, which should be as good a source as any.

Satanism
Due to
this edit, I must ask for a section on King ov Hell’s beliefs; I actually didn’t know he “flip-flopped on the matter” and have only known claims he was a Satanist (and obviously not only me), not having read that many interviews with him anyway. --

If you go through the revision history you will see there was a "relationships with the broader metal scene" section where it went into some scrutiny on his beliefs as well as a few of his contradicting interviews (among criticisms in general by black metal musicians I should note). This was taken down after
a user took it up with the admins in April this year, and although I declined to futher engage over the section I did nevertheless
attempt to respond concerning statements he had proceeded to make about myself in the same post, four months after the incident. This was closed as the user had not been active since the time of the incident (April) and since then I have decided not to press it further given this lack of activity. This might provide some perspective concerning his beliefs and (if I should say) his overall credibility in the "black metal scene", but as I say in the link provided I will elaborate on the concerned subject matter as need be (as per such google searches, for instance).

Great to see someone appreciating my contributions again; you may have seen what bullshit I have to face on some other talk pages. The reactions on the Gorgoroth forum are worth reading, too (I’m no forum maniac, but I think this would have turned out more extreme on many other forums). --

Thought I'd just post something typical of the sort of google searches brought up a year ago by the user
DataBasss. Although I'm not really proactive these days with wikipedia or bm forums (and therefore my ineffectiveness in engaging over this matter a year ago), I nevertheless remain an interested observer so I will react on wikipedia every now and then to vandal attacks and other dubious edits etc. I've seen some of the discussion threads (notably the ideology one) and I appreciate how you've synthesised your sources, especially primary ones such as interviews which undermine misconceptions about pagan and individualist consensuses given the influence of these players like Euronymous in the Norwegian scene.

Which was of course not seen by those who would insult me as a “POV-pushing” “genre warrior” (and then telling me about civility). By the way, I wouldn’t think of “ideological crudeness” in the case of Euronymous (death worship and praising oppressive systems which brought death is rather logical), this is rather the case with people like Garm of Ulver (same as King when it came to Satanism around 1994), Varg Vikernes (there is
an interesting weblog about his various lies) and others; okay, the exact quote was “ideological crudeness in Euronymous' day” not “ideological crudeness in Euronymous' statements” (those who would insult me as a “POV-pushing” “genre warrior” would also turn that against you and “synthesised your sources” against me in the sense of the
synth guideline). --
