Peter “Okking” Madsen was born in 1969 in Sindal (literally “the valley of Sin”), Denmark. He is the only son and the second of three children born of John Samuel Madsen, a machinist, and Marianne Okking. As an child, he was both overweight and non-athletic. He was close to his two sisters and mother, but was regularly disciplined by his father how was physically abusive toward his wife and children – often throwing left-overs at them while cursing. Throughout his childhood and adolescence, Peter continuously strove to make his stern father proud of him, but seldom receive his approval: the elder Madsen regularly belittled him, often calling him a sissy, stupid and a ‘Mamas boy’. At the age of eleven he was expelled from public school after attacking a teacher, who called him a sissy. The family left Sindal and moved to Breivikbotn in northern Norway.
After a few of years, Peter Madsen finished school and started making his own money by producing the famous Norwegian Black porn movies in which vikings are burning churches and teasing nuns. He also joined the action in front of the camera in “Black Porn III” as Pete the Meat, at the age of 16. Peter also got involved in the second wave of black metal in the early 1990. He was part of the roadie team behind Satyricon in 1990 with Czral and Wargod, but was expelled after a dispute when drummer Frost joined the group in 1992. Instead he started producing Black metal music videos in a cramped cellar studio in Oslo. After threats from the music industry, he left Norway for good in 1993 and ended up in Aarhus. Around the same time there were rumours about “Big Pete’s” disappearance being linked to the Burzum / Aarseth murder, but nothing has been proved. In Aarhus he started studying economics at Aarhus University and at the same time worked at a private security company.
Peter was first seen at the Roskilde Festival in 1992 with Stoney Maloney and his boyfriend “Mr. Tykke” – all three became associated with Foking Films many years later. Nearly a decade later, in 2001, Peter got in contact with the Roskilde Festival who wanted his firm to calm down drunk festival guests. In 2003 he got in contact with Foking Films, when he saved the film makers from being attacked be drunken Norwegians at the Roskilde Festival. The first movie was delayed but the next year – in 2004 – Foking Films hired him as security and the company’s first movie Son of Odin was shot. Since then Peter has been the head of security and the producer of seven movies from Foking Films.
