Duo you have enough guitarists? I'm not a Frontman, I'm afraid.

Vikernes openly supports Anders Bering Brevek who massacred almost 100 Norwegians a few years ago, so I think it would be sound to not wear his merchandise anywhere let alone a country where he murdered someone and supports white supremacy. Bit of a sketch look

Thanks for that, I sometimes forget about all the other stuff he has done.  To be fair, I've not worn a Burzum shirt in a long time, and I won't be bringing any to Norway. 

I will tell you however if you're planning to buy beer in a shop, I think you have to do it before 7pm or something like that.

Thanks for that and for the info above.  Got caught out with similar in Lithuania last year!

Heading to Norway in a few weeks with the other half, Oslo and Bergen, but only really thinking now of Metal places to visit (it's not the main reason for the visit). 
Have any of you been and what are some Black Metal locations that are worth visiting?  Metal bar recommendations would also be appreciated. 
Some stupid questions, I assume Helvete is a must, but do you have to ask to go to the basement, etc.? 
Also, I assume wearing a Burzum tshirt is a no-no?  Or is it? 

I really hope he goes on to the studio with these new songs otherwise they'll end up being little curios that I'll listen to a few times in youtube and forget about. If they get finished in a way that does them justice and get pressed up I could see myself getting mileage out of them.

Just gave the 4 new ones a proper listen, and really liking them. As you say though, they could do with doing properly.
Unfortunately, I see a quote from his Twitter
" Lately, I have made four new tracks for Burzum. I think they were all pretty good, too, but...

... the RPG roots run too deep to keep this up. The CALL OF THE ANCESTORS draws me back to my original calling.

Yeah, I am back to working on RPGs, and I don't have time for both. Some of you will rejoice. Others won't.

See you around...

ReconQuest > Burzum.

So we may not hear more again for a while.

The closing solo in The Oath, one of the most satisfying solos ever

For 2 similarly epic closing solos, see Mercyful Fate - Is that you, Melissa, from In the Shadows, and King Diamond - Black Horsemen, from Abigail. 

Just in case there is any interest, Host (Ghost Tribute) and Rammlied (Rammstein Tribute) will be playing The Limelight Belfast on Friday 18 October, and The Grand Social Dublin on Saturday 19 October.

The Cruel Sea is one of my favourite pieces of theirs. It never fails to summon up images of despair and loss.

The Cruel Sea is based on an Irish Trad piece. Wish I could recall the name of it.

Edit: found it. https://youtu.be/RQgXY07sz8Q?si=yk-26m5Gu-Qanuui

Do you have enough guitarists?

Just in case there is any interest, Host will be playing The Sound House this Sunday 29 October!

Anyone recently visited Lisbon or Porto and found any decent metal bars/music shops?
There used to be a good website that listed metal bars, but it doesn't seem to exist any more.
Thank you.

Afraid to say that I've never seen Iron Maiden live.
Was considering going tonight, but that setlist really does not do much for me.

Last time I saw Carcass was McGonagles!

Definitely getting some King Diamond vibes also!
