Additional black metal sightseeing tours have been added, and the National Library of Norway announces an exhibition of Norwegian black metal opening in April.
Puree of Casey Chaos (Amen), Samoth & Faust (Emperor), Cosmocrator (Mindgrinder), and Happy Tom (Turbonegro) tastes sour, when it should be extreme metal gold.
While there’s the usual chaotic quick-cutting to confuse you, even just straight-on shots of the bald-headed’n’goateed singer, Ihsahn, are pretty scary.
Ihsahn and Samoth began Thou Shalt Suffer before Emperor. Some scary/beautiful moments of traditional classical, but it’s really just a guy experimenting.
Like Celtic Frost did on Into the Pandemonium, Peccatum accomplish the same eerie vibe, throwing in some blasting black metal riffs to add to the confusion.
