Metal legend and storyteller bar none, Tore Bratseth (Old Funeral, The Batallion, Bömbers) will take you on a trip to the outskirts of Bergen to show our visitors a series of key locations in the Norwegian black metal lore. The trip includes a stop at the Lysekloster ruins, where many legendary photo and video shoots have taken place. You will also be able to see the bunker where Euronymous was photographed for the “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” promo cycle. Another stop on the trek is the location of the original Os Rock club where Mayhem rehearsed before the recording “DMDS” in Grieghallen, and also regular rehearsal place for Old Funeral and Amputation.This trip will go by bus from outside of Grieghallen (Nygårdsgaten).

BEYOND THE BLACK METAL CLASSICS - a guided tour of Grieghallen
If you want to get an in-depth look on how some of the most renowned black metal classics from the 90s came together, look no further. Legendary producer Pytten has offered to take the Beyond the Gates audience on a guided tour of Grieghallen where seminal albums such as Enslaved’s «Vikingligr Veldi», “Frost” and “Eld”, the first two Emperor albums, «In the Nightside Eclipse» and «Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk», Gorgoroth’s “Pentagram” and “Antichrist”, and Mayhem’s «De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas» were recorded.
Add to those a wide array of other classics such as Immortal’s «Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism», «Battles in the North». All of them instrumental in shaping what became the sound of the inimitable Norwegian Black Metal scene in the 90’s.
PS! We want to keep this a special and intimate experience, so there will only be a very limited number of tickets available for each group.
Date: Friday Aug 04 - 13:00 / Saturday Aug 05 - 13:00 CET
Duration: Approx 60 minutes
