Black metal is serious business in Norway. Even though you may not be able to tell the difference between a metalhead wearing corpse paint and a Siberian Husky, it’s obvious that they do mean business.

Construction time again in Oslo
Last time I was in Oslo, the Opera house was the new poster boy of the harbor. Since then it has been construction time again, to borrow the name of the acclaimed third album by Depeche Mode.
