![]() ![]() “That is twenty times more scary and serious than black metal. I knew what I was getting into - I figured the end result would be worth the stink, and it was.” Despite the notoriety of Norwegian black metal for its malevolent nature, Beste felt far more nervous about another scene he was simultaneously documenting: the rap culture of Houston. He approached me saying he had an idea for the most necro, grim photoshoot ever. “Then five minutes later, he went in the bathroom and shit on a newspaper and spread it all over his chest and neck and wanted me to photograph him covered in his own shit. Beste recalls what happened next rather vividly. For example, nestled among the pictures of grown men with painted faces breathing fire in caves is a shot of a man named Roger Rasmussen (who goes by the name “Nattefrost” in a band called Carpathian Forest) smoking heroin off of a sheet of foil. To outsiders, it’s either merely cartoonish or extremely upsetting. While the violence died out over a decade ago, the scene remains as serious as ever to its participants. ![]() Cardi B Broke Met Gala Rules So Her Daughter Could FaceTime Billie Eilish ![]()
