Black Metal, Literature and Mythology. The Case of Cornelius Jakhelln
Abstract
The article investigates the production of writer and musician Cornelius Jakhelln, with particular focus on the use of literary and mythological material in his black metal band Solefald. Conversely, the article also tries to show how Jakhelln's books of poetry and prose share ideas with Solefald's albums and the black metal genre - a form of music which has so far hardly been the object of scholarly interest.
