Rune Eriksen (born 13 January 1975) is a Norwegian musician. He is best known as the former guitarist in the black metal band Mayhem under the stage name Blasphemer, which he took from a Sodom song. He joined the band in October 1994, but departed in late 2008.[1] He currently plays in Aura Noir,[2] Earth Electric, and the multinational bands Twilight Of The Gods and Vltimas, the latter a supergroup of sorts with vocalist David Vincent (formerly of Morbid Angel), and drummer Flo Mounier of Cryptopsy.[3] Ironically, Rune and Flo also played together with Steve Tucker (successor of David Vincent in Morbid Angel) for the artist Nader Sadek.[4] Eriksen has also made guest appearances with Absu, Negură Bunget, and Root.
