After announcing his retirement from the black metal involvements, ex-Gorgoroth main man Gaahl, is now busy acting. He stars in a musical currently given a second run at the Den Nationale Scene, the largest theatre in Bergen (Norway). Svartediket is the world's first black metal musical but it's not about the rise of the music genre, in fact, it's a haunting tale of a legendary local lake bearing the name, which was allegedly the site of a gruesome child murder.
This only serves as a reminder that black metal is effectively a music genre despite its accompanying heretical & blasphemous culture. Society sees the latter more than the music. It becomes social concern that this culture not seep into society's civic grip as it is poisonous & would infect the young, impressionable mind more than anyone else. However, if we believe in education, it would serve as a check, drawing the line between acceptability & dysfunction.
