The early Norwegian black metal scene was a music scene and subculture in Norway during the early 1990s based around black metal. Identified by some as a cult – The Black Circle or Black Metal Inner Circle – it consisted of youths ranging from late teens to mid-twenties many of whom gathered at the record shop Helvete (Hell) in Oslo.The scene was the focus of controversy due to the strong anti-Christian beliefs of its members and the crimes they committed.
