The Norwegian Black Metal scene, also known as the 2nd wave of black metal, was a subculture movement that began in the 1990s. The music played by these bands was inspired by thrash metal groups from the 1980s such as Bathory and Venom, using their satanic themed lyrics but adding a dark ambient, shrieked vocals and low quailty sound. The whole movement started in a record store in osloby the name of helvette where members of the inner circle cult met and practiced in the basement of the store.
