Tickets for Friday 7 April Black Metal Bus Sightseeing are now sold out. Tickets for Sunday 9 April will soon be out!

Join the Inferno Guides for a trip through the places that marked the beginning of the legend that is now known as NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL. Conducted by Anders Odden known from such bands as Cadaver, Celtic Frost and Order just to mention a few.

For the average music fan the story of Norwegian Black Metal is in essence something about murder, suicide and church burning. Between 1991 and 1993 many of the most important events in this dark chapter in Norwegian music history took place in Oslo and we have put together a field trip to the sights that takes you back in time.

But there is more..

In April 2023, the National Library in Oslo, opens a new exhibition investigating the dark and chaotic feelings of Norwegian black metal. Drawing from the library’s rich collection, the exhibition references ancient Norwegian cultural history and shows black metal as a music form with a distinct artistic expression.

The exhibition conveys how Norwegian black metal has had an impact far beyond Norwegian borders with a vast number of international followers. The National Library of Norway invites fans and other lovers of music and cultural history to dig deep and explore Norwegian black metal as a music genre and a cultural phenomenon.
