Looks like this only 2 days in summer…
I hate to burst your bubble, but not everyone in Norway lives in places like your image.
Source: I live in a village in Norway by the fjord between tall mountains, a lot like your image.
I think it's the seven months of winter every year that informs the Scandinavian metal scene as well as the rich and complicated mythical history, also the brewing and drinking traditions.
mayhem: exists
When the winter looks like that I can understand the metal.
Which band is that? I don't recognize the logo
But their churches look like this
Expected to see the stave church that one black metal band member burned down just to spread misery
It looks so tiny. Like a miniature golf obstacle
Valhalla take me!
Pretty sure it's shaped that way to shrug off the weight of snow.
The material/colour choice doesn't help, I'll grant that...
Looked* I think this one for burnt didn't it?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borgund_Stave_Church seems to still be there
This similar church was the one that Varg Vikernes from Burzum burnt. It was rebuilt. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantoft_Stave_Church
Brütal.
Also, anyone get itchy for Valheim when they see architecture like this?
Yes, then I remember how much I dislike Ashlands...
Oh man, yeah Ash is muy caliente! Barely dipped the toe in there with some of da boyes and it was problematic... Good to save those raids for a proper mean squad.
Not even the difficulty. Just the relentless pop-in of enemies. Endless and boring.
Valheim was my first thought as well.
If I had a cruise ship parked there, stinking up the fjord, I would also write a hate song or two.
Fr they are an environmental disaster and they don't bring any tourist money to the places they destroy. All money is spent within the ship.
Is this the original Mayhem house?
No. Mayhem's house is said to have been close to Oslo.
OPs picture is a stock photo from a small city further north, Flåm by Sognefjord.
That cruise ship may be the festering pit of disease riddled near-corpses that served as inspiration
For 2 months a year
It's the no sun in winter.
That depends on where you live. Some places doesn't get sun all year.
Like Newcastle and Glasgow
"Some places doesn't get sun all year."
The Prophecy of the Glowing Pale Ass has been fortold by my Farmers Tan.
Posting an image during the ten days at the height of summer when Norway gets sunshine, while neglecting the 99% of the year when its cold, dark, wet, and miserable.
The spring and summer is pretty good in Norway. Several weeks with 20+ weather and sunshine. It's maybe more unstable on the west coast, but Norwegian summers are easily better than the heat wave summers you see south in Europe.
Our winters here aren't much better. We hit -50C for 2 weeks last winter. The only benefit, I suppose is that we get a lot of sun during the winter, as we're in a rain shadow.
And I thought -6C was cold, fuck me.
To be fair, I honestly found that manageable with just a work uniform and an extra long sleeved shirt.
Ehh there's not much difference between -6 and-18 you can get warm by doing whatever activity. Somehow -3 to +3 is the hardest to stay warm in. Too much moisture in the air. Below-18 is where the dry cold starts to be tough.
Yeah 0F is -18 and that’s when your Moses starts to stick together when you breath in.
You’re apparently better off swallowing your snot too, since it’s largely condensed water vapor from your own lungs and you’ll dehydrate slower.
Source: have always lived within a short drive to Canada.
Where do you live? Siberia?
Canadian Prairies. Fukn cold 'ere b'y.
Damn, canada was my other guess (or greenland but like no one lives there)
That's insane. I genuinely cannot imagine how cold that is.
Eh it is a dry cold.....
But really after -20 or so its all the same but you get injured quicker.
I have lived in wet winter places (east cost of Canada, Ontario, Quebec) and I like my dry -50 more.
When you step outside, your face hurts. And that's if it's not windy. Unless you're really bundled up, it feels like you're naked in the cold, and your clothes are like a makeshift tarp you've wrapped around yourself.
In these temps anyone will understand how cold can burn.
I slept outside in -42 when I was in the army in Finland. Not a good night's sleep, I'll tell you that.
Just take a deep breath!
Have experienced some -35°C not funny.
