INFERNAL TANGO – WE WILL, WE WILL ROCK YOU! e are proud to announce our radio partner Radio Tango!

W R

adio Tango is Oslos prime rock and alternative radio station, keeping it real since 1988, grinding the airwaves with the latest noise and the all time classics you love to re-re discover. Hell on Heels is the station’s flagship metal show- hosted by our all time favourite metal goddesses Charlotte and Anne-Lene, together with their fellow brother in arms Trond (flat shoes only.)

fter a long time struggle with the authorities to maintain their frequency to broadcast, the Tango crew finally got it secured and is now more alive and kicking than ever. Happy news, life’s too short for boring music - even on radio!

A

adio Tango’s Hell on Heels will be present each day at the festival with a studio space on the top of Rockefeller, bringing interviews with bands, updates and the latest news about the festival. Hell on Heels demo-panel will choose a band (send in your demos now!) to play on Inferno Metal Festival in 2010.

R

t the festival Hotel Scandic Edderkoppen Radio Tango will rock you all nite and day long; In the lobby, in your room (don’t throw the TV out the window please…) and in the breakfast room.

A

Tune in to FM 105.8 or stream live 24/7 on www.radiotango.no www.myspace.com/hellonheelsradiotango

Revolver will have a special Inferno burger menu. Inferno audience will only have to show their wristband to get a very favorably priced burger. If you need a bubbly beverage to wash down the food, that will come with at a reduced price too!

Find Revolver two blocks up from the venue – in Møllergata 32.

www.revolveroslo.no

New kid on the block!

We got a new addition to the Oslo metal community just after the Inferno Magazine was printed – the metal pub Hellawaits, located in Thorvald Meyersgate 81 (about a 10 minute walk due east from Rockefeller) and hosted by Blood Tsunami frontman Pete Evil (last seen hosting MTV Norways Headbangers Ball..). Open every day during Inferno – from 2 pm till way too late. www.hellawaits.no

Sad but true Unholy, the metal pub close to Elm Street, had to close down recently. Our condolences!

Lest I forget The editor’s note photograph in the Inferno Magazine was shot by the eminent photographer Martine Petra Hoel Hægeland – www.martinepetra.com – make sure you check out her portfolio. She’s THAT good!

Inferno Film As most of Infernos clientéle invades Oslo early in the week for the festival, we got in league with Cinemateket (huh-huh) to expand the cultural horizon for all those who spends their easter in the city. Of course, these screenings are open for all, but only the Inferno festival bracelet will give you a reduced price on the tickets – 45 kroner for a movie ain’t bad! In addition to expanding the programme with an additional documentary (“Murder + Art + Norway = Tourism” – the documentary formerly known as “This is Norway”) we can give you a treat you won’t soon forget if you’re a fan of Darkthrone…

Wednesday we will open with a screening of the Darkthrone Live 1990 film, with a delightful twist; Metal Hammers Jonathan Selzer will perform an interview with none other than Darkthrone’s Nocturno Culto to learn more about this concert, the remastering process and screening of the material. If you want to experience this – be there EARLY! Interview will start approximately 15.30 – 30 minutes prior to the film screening, and be held in the lobby of Cinemateket.

BLOOD ON SATAN’S CLAW (1971) Exceedingly creepy and well crafted tale of the devil at work among the young and susceptible in medieval times.

DARKTHRONE LIVE 1990 Fenris (drums, vocals), Nocturno Culto (guitar, vocals), Ivar Enger (guitar), Dag Nilsen (bass). Live from Bootleg TV back in the early days of 1990.

DEAD SNOW (2009) Brand new Norwegian nazi-zombie-splatter film about people being chased by nazi-zombie maniacs.

LADY FRANKENSTEIN (1971) In this disturbing version of the old Frankenstein tale old Baron Frankenstein has a daughter who is suspiciously happy to continue his strange work after his death…

THE MONK (1972) Rare! Film with a legendary status among cult film buffs as a beautiful, but strange taboo-breaker about a poor monk tempted by a beautiful demon. Banned in Norway upon release.

MURDER + ART + NORWAY = TOURISM (2009) Documentary about black metal tourism. With former members of Mayhem, Immortal and Carpathian Forest.

PARADISE LOST: THE CHILD MURDERS AT ROBIN HOOD HILLS (1996) A horrible triple murder sends the local community on a witch-hunt for the non-conformist teenagers of the neighborhood. Documentary.

SEASON OF THE WITCH (1972) Not really a horror-film from George A. Romero, the maker of Night of the Living Dead, but a strange tale of a bored housewife dabbling in black magic.
