Jevanord was born in Bergen, Norway and formed Mayhem in 1984 with bassist Necrobutcher and drummer Kjetil Manheim. The band gained notoriety in the 1990s for their involvement in the Norwegian black metal scene, which was associated with church burnings and murders.

After leaving Mayhem, Jevanord continued to pursue music with his bands Kvislingsskog and Orcustus. Both bands have released critically acclaimed albums and have been praised for their intense and brutal sound.
Despite the controversy surrounding the early days of the Norwegian black metal scene, Jevanord has since disavowed violence and criminal behavior. He has focused on his music career and is respected for his contributions to the genre.
