A Personal Chronicle by Anders Odden – Black Metal (The Scars) of Norway

Join us for an unforgettable evening with Anders Odden, a pivotal figure in the world of Norwegian extreme metal! 🎸

With over 40 years in the genre, Odden has navigated the black metal scene as a founding member of Cadaver and an integral part of legendary bands like Satyricon, Celtic Frost, and Order. His journey began in the underground scene and evolved into a celebrated career on the international stage. 🌍

In 2026, he will reflect on 40 years since his transformative meeting with Øystein Aarseth and Mayhem, a pivotal moment that thrust him into the heart of a musical revolution.
