Black Metal Girlie
Added 2025-05-30 08:55:41 +0000 UTCSince we're in the good old capitol to see Ghost, why not visit a place that's kinda like a holy site for metalheads.
So backstory... There's a old record shop called Helvete (Hell) that was run by Euronymous the guitarist of Mayhem until he was killed by a band member back in 1993. Mayhem was a Black Metal band that kinda pioneered the scene in Norway, grim stuff as murder, arson and assault... So not really my alley but the place is iconic and the stories have a significant place in the whole sub-culture and metal in general.
The shop was reopened as a record store back in 2013 and also serve as a mini museum, like the place is TINY, being inside the store on a packed day, I was legit scared just my boobs would knock something over... Like cassettes was stacked up to the ceiling almost on plastic trays usually used to store milk cartons, so they looked really unstable lol There was also a fire inside a couple of years ago so a lot stuff got damaged, which is sued as front window display for that extra metal-ness
So of course my selfies inside has to be that BW grainy cover look haha
Guess I didn't take any pics of the front of the store, I had planned on doing it to show a friend, but since they're not really into black metal I just made it a text message on where I was and I guess I kinda forgot lol
