Black metal trivia #1
The mysterious Nodnol Tohder, who allegedly did the typesetting for Emperor’s 1994 classic album “In the Nightside Eclipse” layout (see the original booklet liner notes, or google him) does not actually exist!
Read back to front, Nodnol Tohder = Redhot London, and is the name of a gay strip club in Norway where Samoth (owner of the record label NAP) discovered future signing Limbonic Art, who were the house band at the time!
Next week: Frost of Satyricon reveals the professional make-up techniques used for the band photos in “Nemesis Divina” and tells us of his agonizing decision to endorse Rimmel lipstick instead of Zildjian cymbals!!!

is that not the same club where Fenriz DJ’d? And found his true love =”crustpunk”
I guess mens urinals will bring out the best in former BM drummers-
maybe Frost can give Feng shui-I mean Fenriz some makeup tips, since I am sure the next genre Darkthrone will ape is showtunes…
I can see it now-The year-2012. Fenriz: “Showtunes have ALWAYS been a big influence on Darkrthrone. Black Metal? No, we never played black metal. Punk? Those punks albums were the worst things we have ever done. Punk is, how you say-childish. No, we are doing a re-work of “South Pacific”. It’s true Darkthrone. We don’t care if you call if you call us poseurs. We are being true to our roots! Hails Rodgers & Hammerstein!”
I cannot wait for that proclamation…LOL

You’re thinking of Elm Street. But when that place closes, all the old black metal guys go to Redhot London to unwind. Satyr first met Frost there.

LMAO-Admin-I guess my sarcasm was a little too dry…
I was suggesting that perhaps Feng Shui Riz likes to “pitch & catch” and he found his calling at the Redhot!! But seriously, I googled it-but could not find much-is Redhot truly a gay bar or is that just a goof??

@ Bicro-I could buy into that….after his first couple of “darkwave” CD’s-his tunes starting sounding alot like sesame street songs…
him and the Count could do a sketch together….
“one crappy ambient album, two crappy ambient albums….three crappy ambient albums”
put down the casio and pick up a Rickenbacker…
