Howls from the Nordic Forests - the roots and many branches of metal in the nordic countries

Harald Fossberg
Author and writer, musician and vocalist, DJ and radio host, Oslo

From 1988–2022 Harald Fossberg has been covering music and culture topics for one of Norway’s leading newspapers Aftenposten. Fossberg has been involved as curator in the Inferno festival music conference and the exhibition Bad Vibes at Norways National Library (2023). He has held lectures, led debates and conversations around various musical topics in Norway and abroad and has been performing with various bands (such as Turbonegro and Hærverk) since 1978. In 2015 he released the publication Nyanser av svart – historien om norsk black metal.
Der Vortrag wird auf Englisch gehalten.

We explore the background of the metal genre and the rise of the various subgenres that emerged in the Nordic countries. We will look at the specific sociological and economical factors that were at play in the various regional scenes. Lastly, we will also see how the Nordic metal subgenres have made its mark in the wider metal community – as well as becoming a major influence on the musical map of the world.
