Posting an image during the ten days at the height of summer when Norway gets sunshine, while neglecting the 99% of the year when its cold, dark, wet, and miserable.
Our winters here aren't much better. We hit -50C for 2 weeks last winter. The only benefit, I suppose is that we get a lot of sun during the winter, as we're in a rain shadow.
The spring and summer is pretty good in Norway. Several weeks with 20+ weather and sunshine. It's maybe more unstable on the west coast, but Norwegian summers are easily better than the heat wave summers you see south in Europe.
When the winter looks like that I can understand the metal.
Which band is that? I don't recognize the logo
But their churches look like this
Pretty sure it's shaped that way to shrug off the weight of snow.
The material/colour choice doesn't help, I'll grant that...
It looks so tiny. Like a miniature golf obstacle
Valhalla take me!
Looked* I think this one for burnt didn't it?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borgund_Stave_Church seems to still be there
Expected to see the stave church that one black metal band member burned down just to spread misery
That cruise ship may be the festering pit of disease riddled near-corpses that served as inspiration
That tracks, metal fans are some of the kindest people I’ve met.
I believe an open mind is a prerequisite for liking metal. It's not the most accessible genre and kind of a musical acquired taste.
If I had a cruise ship parked there, stinking up the fjord, I would also write a hate song or two.
Fr they are an environmental disaster and they don't bring any tourist money to the places they destroy. All money is spent within the ship.
Looks like this only 2 days in summer…
I hate to burst your bubble, but not everyone in Norway lives in places like your image.
Source: I live in a village in Norway by the fjord between tall mountains, a lot like your image.
I’m convinced it’s the winters that get them
no shit, who's out here dropping black metal hits in july?
I think it's the seven months of winter every year that informs the Scandinavian metal scene as well as the rich and complicated mythical history, also the brewing and drinking traditions.
It's the no sun in winter.
That depends on where you live. Some places doesn't get sun all year.
Like Newcastle and Glasgow
"Some places doesn't get sun all year."
The Prophecy of the Glowing Pale Ass has been fortold by my Farmers Tan.
For 2 months a year
Babette's Feast explains all of this
Is this the original Mayhem house?
No. Mayhem's house is said to have been close to Oslo.
OPs picture is a stock photo from a small city further north, Flåm by Sognefjord.
the two weeks in summer where it doesn't rain.
mayhem: exists
