Neseblod Records

Neseblod Records, located in the east side Oslo, is more than just a record store—it’s also works as a museum to the black metal scene in Norway. Known globally among metal enthusiasts, Neseblod is the go-to place for rare vinyl, CDs, tapes, and an impressive array of black metal memorabilia. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or simply curious about the genre, a visit to Neseblod Records is a unique experience that dives deep into the heart of Norway’s extreme music culture.

Neseblod Records occupies the space that was once home to Helvete, the infamous black metal shop and hangout spot founded by Euronymous of Mayhem in the early 1990s. Today, Neseblod carries on the legacy, preserving a piece of black metal history within its walls. The store has become a pilgrimage site for fans who come to Oslo specifically to see where it all began. The black metal graffiti in the basement, from the old days of Helvete, is a hot spot for those who want to have a picture of them at the store.

Neseblod Records boasts one of the most extensive collections of black metal music in the world, featuring both classic releases and obscure finds that are often unavailable elsewhere. Beyond music, the shop is filled with posters, fanzines, clothing, and various artifacts that paint a vivid picture of the genre’s evolution. One of the gems hanging in Neseblod is the skull from Mayhem's live gigs back in the early 2000s.

Walking into Neseblod Records feels like stepping into another world. The store’s dark, cavernous interior, adorned with black metal artwork and paraphernalia, sets the tone for an immersive experience. It’s not just a shop; it’s a place where the past and present of black metal culture coexist, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in Oslo’s musical heritage.
