Black metal

Norway's black metal music first gained notoriety with murders and church burnings but has now earned its spot in the halls of culture with a new exhibit at Oslo's National Library.

"Bad Vibes" showcases a dark world of music that has a contemplative, almost intellectual side beneath its destructive exterior.

THREE people were injured in a drive-by shooting outside a tube station last night in another evening of violence in Lawless London.

Horrified witnesses described hearing blood-curdling screams as shots rang out on a busy street at about 9.45pm.

A woman, 30, and two men - aged 18 and 24 - were rushed to hospital with gun shot wounds.

On January 12 and 13, Norwegian black metal band Arcturus will be performing in Athens and Thessaloniki respectively.

YouTube is full of priceless moments of TV reporters failing live on air. Well, you can add another gem to that large “treasure haul”. Greek state broadcaster ERT was covering last Sunday’s Authentic Marathon from the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens live, when a reporter can be clearly heard asking where the toilette was (at 0.7-0.15 seconds). But it gets even better.

Dark Funeral and Satyricon, two of the most en vogue black metal bands of the moment, took the stage on Friday evening at the Metalhead Meeting Cotroceni Open Air 2015 festival.
