Ich weiß von den berüchtigten Kirchenbränden und der Ermordung von Erunonymous, aber ich spreche ganz allgemein davon, wie sich andere Bands wie Darkthrone auf Norwegen ausgewirkt haben

    It kind of depends on the definition of *peak* ? What is the metric here ..

    Like lots of media attention and news coverage (negative attention and/or positive attention), or when the music started reaching new audiences outside the initial „underground“ movement, bands and song got into the music charts and some bands got deals with large record companies?

    There was alot of (negative) media attention in the norwegian media and news when it still was underground, due to the actions of certain personalities. But not a lot of people was listening to the music, there was little attention from record companies. And they were certainly not headlining any music festivals, or had any large music festivals dedicated to black metal music. All this happened later.

  2. Seeing a news clip from time to time of crazy black metal heads learning Norwegian from time to time back in the day

  3. Basically, not at all.

    Black metal and all the mythos around it seems to be a bigger thing in southern Europe than it ever was here in Norway. My only experience of it at the time was that I sporadically saw some of the Black metal community in various pubs here and there in Bergen and Oslo, where they didn’t make much of an impression, except for the clothing they wore.

    We still, and possibly more and more, earn international renown for our black metal. So in the „right“ group you almost have bragging rights for simply being from Norway .. but to my parents/grandparents who never cared for the music they may at best remember the church burnings and credit it to „stupid rock & roll“

  5. When there is a mismatch between a cultural impact, and a mainstream impact we usually define that as ’subculture‘ and Black metal at it’s peak was just that.

    Looking at Black Metal as a part of it/a fan, I imagine it can be very difficult to understand that it hardly was noticeable in its country of origin.

    I would say that murder people (only one as far as I know) and burning churches was enough.

    Only what you already mentioned. Church burnings and murders that were linked to people in the community. No biggie

    My question is, is „blsck“ metal a typo or an attempt to circumvent some weird fictional censorship algorithm?

  9. Unless you were a black metal fan it didn’t have much affect on society as a whole. That said, when it all went down with the church burnings and murders, there was a brief period of Satanic Panic. It died off quickly after Varg Vikernes was jailed though.
