HEILUNG

HEILUNG / EIVOR

Northern motifs (some pieces remind me of Waltari/Angelit Channel Nordica record) with Eivør switching from tamborine to guitar, - she is delivering absolutely insane note range, growls, screams, meows and beatboxing. The happening is supported by a light show. She is absolutely fabulous live, and it is a completely different experience than spinning the records, - it is sad that it lasts just about forty minutes, it is definitely not enough, but at least this is the stage size that Eivør deserves.

Heilung is the main act today - something I had on my to-see list, but never had a proper chance. Gigantic Oslo Spektrum is prepared for something special - there are birch trees screwed to fences. Spotlights project different patterns onto the black walls.

INFERNO FESTIVAL PRE-SHOW

The myths about the early history of Norwegian black metal are many. Countless documentaries, films,
and books have tried to find answers to what happened in Norway in the early ‘90s. Being able to visit the
places where these events took place, with someone who was there, makes it a personal journey.

Through his record store, Helvete, and his band, Mayhem, Øystein Aarseth, aka Euronymous, became a
key figure in the scene. He both inspired and promoted all the early bands in the Norwegian metal scene,
such as Emperor, Darkthrone, Immortal, Burzum, and others. He was later killed by Varg Vikernes, aka
Greven, the notorious leader of Burzum, in his apartment on August 10, 1993, after a year of turmoil in the
growing underground scene in Oslo and Bergen.

This date marked the end of an era. The small scene, which had been unknown to the public until then,
became infamous in the tabloid media and made headlines far beyond Norway.
