Notodden Rock City (Emperor Zyklon Peccatum)

[@nikolao4697]

Translatation of everything that they are saying in Norwegian: Woman: "Notodden bluesfestival attracts, every summer, several tens of thousands of audiences, these concerts being with both Norwegian and foreign artists. The population count in Notodden is tripled only for some days, but these few days are enough for it to keep its reputation for the blues capital of Norway. Our three guides are going to show that not everything is about blues in Notodden. Vegard Tveitan , from the now disestablished Emperor, is a music teacher in "The Youths house", plays in Peccatum, has an own studio and record company, is the daily leader of Duke Joint studio. ---. Heidi Solberg Tveita (His wife), is leader of "The Youths house", is an solo artist, having her own solo project "Star of Ash (Starofash)" and has been called by the band "Kirang(?)", as one of the worlds 20 most influential female artists in the world in rock and metal. She has, all this together with Vegard, a record company and two studios, as well as the band "Peccatum". Jon Olav Hovden plays in "Upterfly(?)" and ""Ex-Queens of the Astronauts", arranges concerts and gigs in the city, has been involved in starting the practice house "Lyn", and is additionally teacher of ""The Youths House" along with Heidi and Vegard. 35 boys and girls use these practice rooms daily. Vegard: --- It is a hell of lot of metal --- Maiden. It has had its renaissance now. Close to all of my guitar students love Iron Maiden, you can say. Woman: Well, I assume you can do your own Maiden-riffs too! Vegard: I can play some of songs, I had practically learnt to play guitar by Maiden. Teens under 18, with interests of metal and rock, do also get their dose of live music from "The Youths house". But that does not get so wild, as when Vegard was a teen. Vegard: Up here is "storsalen(Literally: The Big Hall)", I do not think that it is a hall anymore now, but I think it was in 1990 a local gig, which was called "graveyard gig". It came a bus from Sarpsborg, with metal folks, and it was a Swedish band called "Hasty Death", and it was another - I think ... If I remember right - I think it was a Finnish death metal band that played. It was in total 7 bands that played, and, afterwards, it was so much meat and blood throwed by them, that it was blood in the roof several months later. Woman: Æsj! (yuck!) Vegard: I think it was pretty hardcore for being in 1990! Woman: Only a year later came Emperor to existence. It was a revolutionary band in Norwegan black metal , they were the first to succeed internationally, and have marked themselfes in the black metal milieux for their sophisticated and higly detailed music. Vegard: I think it gives me great pleasure knowing that one can come from Notodden and be successfull with music. Woman: Is Vegard like a hero in Notodden? Heidi: I do not think it is freedom (or possibility) for it. (A little hard to translate) Woman: On the other side of the street is a concertplace that is one of the reasons for why Notodden became a blues city - the place "Bellmann". Jon: Maybe the most traditional places for music - There has been a lot of blues music here, but now it more ... Woman: So it first blues, and now it is more ... Different music? Jon: Different music, yes. (This part is about the american and his nice studio - This does not need so much attention) From 6:54: Mortiis: It seems like the only thing there is in this city is blues, eventhough it is only three days a year, where they like it. And so we pretend that we like it the rest of the year too. Ihsahn: What he is meaning to say, is that we have to maybe work 50 times harder than other artists to get the same form of attention. Maybe we have not been clever enough, and (...) and it is not exactly in Notodden that we have done our own marketing. Mortiis: We have not really got the encouragement from Notodden either. Woman: Now it is that Notodden has been stamped as a blues city. What about if it was not any blues, do you think it would have had the black metal stamp? Mortiis: I think it would not have been any great! Ihsahn: The thing is that it is blues (...) With black metal you could not attract 30,000 people to a place like Notodden over a period of three days. Guy: That would have not been any good ... Ihsahn: Yes, that would have not been any good at all ... (talks a little about the band members) Trym: Success does not have anything about where you live, it is about how you work musically. So where you live, does not have anything to do, really. Ihsahn: There is a lot of cool things in Notodden, when it comes to everything. And especially how nice and beautiful it is here. Mortiis: It does not really account to me ... It is atleast better than living in these concrete complexes. Yeah, it is anxiety. I have done it and I am a living proof that it is not any fucking good. Ihsahn: (...) Woman: You have been changed? Mortiis: Yeah, I am not even afraid of saying on television - I have had real anxiety in my time ... It has been recorded too. Someone: That is good. (Talks about that they are succesfull even though they have gone through many things) Woman: It is time to say goodbye from our guides - we go out and home in the dark night...

[@karthany]

I want to learn Norwegian so maybe if I can do that I'll get to translating.

[@MELONMOVIES]

I wasn't critising Norwegian. I think it's a wonderful language.

[@gluntford]

One day I hope to learn Norweigan because of them

[@nvt_2923]

[@Thesortvokter]

You should hear the dialect from Øvre Telemark.

[@GrexornasTid]

if u could translate what they sain' to english ,,,,,, ??????,,, thanx

[@satancardenal]

subtitles please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ImLarryMcGillicutty]

Most people won't learn an entire language to watch a video that's less than 10 minutes.

[@nvt_2923]

I will

[@NeglectedField]

Seasick Steve and Ihsahn in the same room? Awesome.

[@BORRACHOAZUL]

@Svartdoden bah !

[@sheandi2696]

I’m the 666 like 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻

[@lexbeltran1354]

Subtitles would help.😈

[@samanthafox9045]

この人イーサーン？

[@ElMakz]

damn he is tall.

[@SSEnrich]

Yeah. I hear you. Translate, translate. Very boring documentary which focuses on the little place Notodden and that they have other musical focus than blues. The most interesting part is when Mortiis says he has struggled with anxiety and that has led him to make music and records. Other than that I didn't get anything out of this. Besides the visual like all others can see as well.

[@RedneckHillbillyCheeseBruger]

The moribund people

[@GrexornasTid]

fuckin hell so rare vid,,,,thanx 4 that kisses

[@nilzardo]

lol. What the fuck is Seasick Steve doing in here.

[@BORRACHOAZUL]

subtitles

[@MELONMOVIES]

Wish I could understand what they were saying, I speak some German but Norwegian sounds like someone speaking German with an extreme speech impediment... Beautiful language though!

[@eon14873]

Norwegian is a germanic language I think , as is English

[@ViktorLagunes]

I didnt understand a shit

[@karthany]

I wish English wasn't the national language. It's frankly not that great. Thought I can;t really say that since I only speak English

[@odiumhumanigeneri616]

@8KrayZ6 no you need to learn to speak Norwegian.

[@slashmole]

Yeah it needs to be translated... English is the 'best' language in the world, that's why almost everyone knows it. Just like America is the best country; because every country is inside of it.

[@nvt_2923]

I like how they speak in Norwegian
