HELHEIM: 'We Need To Let Metal And Odin Catch The Kids Before Jesus Does!' - Apr. 21, 2008
A couple of Norwegian media outlets have posted video footage of HELHEIM's performance at a public kindergarten earlier today (Monday, April 21).

The Norwegian Viking metal band celebrated the release of its brand new studio album, "Kaoskult", by playing acoustic versions of two songs from the CD — "Det Norrøne Alter" and "Svart Seid" — at Klosteret Barnehage. In addition, the band also told tales from Norse mythology, which has been of great inspiration for HELHEIM since the band was formed in 1992.

Elisabeth Alnes of Klosteret Barnehage previously stated about HELHEIM's appearance at the kindergarten, "Lots of people get this all wrong, and think metal and Satanism are two sides of the coin. These are great guys, and Norse mythology is a very important part of our cultural heritage."

To mark the release of "Kaoskult", HELHEIM has made a second song from the album available for free download.

"Kaoskult" is HELHEIM's sixth release, and its second on the Dark Essence label. The nine-track album presents a new maturity from the band, who have explored a more varied, and melodic side to their music. Written by guitarist Thorbjørn, with lyrics by Vgandr, "Kaoskult" was produced by Bjørnar Nilsen, who also contributes guest vocals.

HELHEIM debuted some of the new tracks during the band's recent tour with fellow Norwegians VULTURE INDUSTRIES and German black metallers DARK FORTRESS.

It's unfair to always label metal as negative or satanic or whate.er. Just cuz you're heavy doesn't mean that you don't have something positive to say.

I wrote this on another news article concerning this, but I'll post it here too..:

I worked in a kindergarden (in Norway, btw) a couple of years ago. Every day when my shift was over, I used to turn on my mp3 player and listen to music (metal, of course) on my way home. Then one day I decided to let some of the kids listen to the music, to see their reaction. Surprisingly enough, they really seemed to like it! And I swear, a couple of them even started headbanging :P (it was a bit too noisy for the girls, though) And since that day, whenever they saw me leave, a bunch of kids gathered around me so that they could listen to some of my "cool" music before I went home.. ^^

As we say in Norwegian: Den må tidlig krøkes som god krok skal bli!

Now all they need is some singers! English singers!

What is so great about past mythology, none of it is true and it makes no difference to the future? How did mythology shape anything today? It didn't, that's why it becomes forgotten and is considered stupid eventually.

COMMENT | are you fucking joking?
