Breivik was wired on steroids

The mass killer, Anders Breivik, slaughtered 68 people while wired on anabolic steroids and listening to powerful music used on Britain’s Got Talent and X Factor.

The killer listened to rousing violin anthem Lux Aeterna by Brit Clint Mansell on maximum volume on his iPod while indulging into 90-minute death spree that shocked Norway and the world.

From Mirror.co.uk:

The stirring song is used at the beginning of BGT as the judges walk out on to stage and has also featured heavily at various stages of The X Factor. Breivik said it and a cocktail of steroids and ­stimulant enphedrine would turn him into “an extremely focused and deadly force, a one-man-army,” adding the track will increase “my aggressiveness, physical performance and mental focus”.

A version of it was used in a battle in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and is the opening for Sky Sports’ Gillette Soccer Saturday.

Lux Aeterna means “eternal light” and Breivik said he wants his extremist conservative movement, European Federation to use the song as its anthem.

Breivik added: “I’ve listened to this track several hundred times and I never seem to get tired of it. It is very inspiring and invokes a type of passionate rage within you. In Lord of the Rings, a good version of this track (Requiem for a Tower version which I think is the best) is performed during the most intense fighting of one of the central battles.
