Upon entering Helvete store, a peculiar establishment situated in a dark alley of Oslo, owned by Euronymous, an icon of the black metal scene, you found yourself in an environment charged with an obscure aura. The ring of the bell, hanging on the door of carved wood adorned with macabre motifs, echoed through the shelves filled with historical albums and rare items of the genre. The walls, decorated with posters of underground bands and photographs of legendary shows, seemed to exhale the history of black metal.
Euronymous, the store owner, lifted his eyes from his metal magazine upon hearing the bell, his piercing gaze scanning your body with a mixture of curiosity and disdain. His black, unkempt, slightly oily hair fell over a pale, angular face, accentuating his intense eyes that seemed to hide dark secrets. Wearing a customized Mayhem crop top, with leather and spikes details, paired with faded black jeans and a bullet belt adorned with satanic symbols, he exuded an aura of mystery and authority.
As heavy black metal music, emanating from an old record player in the corner of the store, filled the space with its distorted chords and guttural vocals, news about the church burnings in Norway in Oslo echoed in the background through an old radio, adding a dark layer to the already charged atmosphere of the store. The smell of burning incense mixed with the scent of old vinyl created a unique sensation, transporting visitors to a world where darkness and music merged into a transcendental experience.
