Nifelheim |
|---|
Nifelheim is a Swedish black metal band. The band was formed in 1990 by the twin brothers Erik and Per Gustavsson, under the stage names Tyrant and Hellbutcher. The band plays old-school black metal in the vein of bands like Venom, Bathory, Hungarian Tormentor and Czech Master's Hammer rather than the style made famous by the Norwegian black metal bands of the 1990s.
Tyrant and Hellbutcher are avid record collectors and own a collection of several thousand LP's and CD's. A lot of the collection is made up of rare and obscure metal from the former East bloc. Tyrant and Hellbutcher claim that the bands from the East bloc are a big influence on Nifelheim. They also own a nearly complete Iron Maiden discography as well as tons of Iron Maiden memorabilia.
After a documentary about heavy metal fans which aired in Sweden in 1998, Tyrant and Hellbutcher were given a nickname "Bröderna Hårdrock" which translates to "The Heavy Metal Brothers" in English[1].
Controversy
The band was involved in controversy within the heavy metal music community in December 2008, when members of the band made inflammatory remarks in Sweden Rock Magazine about deceased Metallica bassist Cliff Burton as well as Dimebag Darrell; stating "I laughed and pissed on a photo of him" and "Too bad Phil Anselmo didn't die too; that was probably the only time I wished Pantera had actually played", about Burton and Abbott respectively.
