Lars Ümlaüt (August, 11th, 1971, Oslo, Norway) is a character from the Guitar Hero series, representing the Extreme/Black Metal genre - particularly the Scandinavian regional scenes. He is Norwegian. He is inspired by Abbath (Immortal), using Metallica's drummer: Lars Ulrich. His name also recalls the so-called Heavy Metal Ümlaüt, seen with the likes of Motörhead, Turbonegro, Queensrÿche and (parodically) Spınal Tap (Ümlaüt over the N). His face paint is from typical "corpse paint" that many Black Metal artists do onstage and Gene Simmons of KISS.
