    Primary Export: Death Metal.

    You crack me up, Mr Onthemoon.

    By the way, wouldn’t it be spooky if some deranged maniac took this cartoon to heart and set about eliminating the 62 people on the list so that our head of state became Harald, King of Death Metal?

    Dog. Syntax quibble. Our yabbie (Fatbastard tankus) says he thinks you meant to say “The King of Norway becomes our Queen”, otherwise we’re casting a plague on the Great House of Sardines - the Oscar Brunswick Wests.

    C’mon FirstDog - surely you mean Black Metal - not Death Metal? The murders, church-burnings etc were performed by the Black Metallers in Norway in the early 90’s.

    Don’t they still burn down churches at Norwegian black-metal gigs? There was also some saga, IIRC, some years ago involving satanic ritual, murderous intent and some Norwegian metal vocalist or perhaps guitarist of international renown dying a not very pleasant death. Would make a wonderful graphic novel … of one page. *hint-hint*

    Well the one member of the band “Burzum” killed the lead guitarist of the band “Mayhem”. This happened in 1991 or 92 I believe and was apparently motivated by money. At the time they were two of the leading bands in that underground scene. This Burzum musician also apparently burnt down a famous church (Fantoft Stave) and infamously used a photo of the burnt ruins as the cover image of one of his EPs.

    Thanks, @Marduk, most enlightening!

    And we have a historic Norwegian connection in small time local born author Red Morgan (now grey hair) who was in the Norwegian merchant navy during WW2 and has two books about that and Warragamba Dam. He is at Windsor (NSW) market most Sundays. Not sure if he eats lutefisk though.
