the norwegian scene was mainly just edgy teenagers making music as an affront to the overly commercialized nature of metal at that time, with more roots in punk/folk than what most people think of as "metal", and ofc hail satan/vandalizing bullshit is going to be the route you take if you live in nowhere norway

ironically now the 1st and 2nd wave bm bands are used as aesthetic pieces for edgy mainstream artists
