In Aeternum

Formerly known as Embryonic and Xerasia, Thou Shalt Suffer was Vegard and Tomas' main band in 1990-1991.

Part of their show in Nottoden here

Tomas does a small interview in Peccatus Altar zine issue no. 1, 1992 (Vegard and Tomas in the photo)

And Bård Eithun reviews them a bit in his own zine Orcustus issue no. 2, 1992

another gig that i dont have -and can't find- anymore photos of :( bård actually kept his shirt on for once lol. the concert footage is also quite dark unfortunately, but this clip is decent

...

lol fr tho, they're not wrong but give my pookies them a break they were ~18/19 years old on their first real tour by themselves. and turns out 3/4 of the band was a threat to society 💀

here's a clip of that fucker yelling "satan fucking satan" and Ihsahn and Samoth just🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

It's kind of a meditation because you open your mind to all the impulses you get from your surroundings. The sound from the waterfalls, the winds, the rains. The symbolic world of satanism. It is dark. The wastelands, the emptiness, the silence. It is dark forces. And also in this kind of old Norwegian woods, you also kind of feel the pagan past - Ihsahn, talking about his hytte retreats (source)

Hytte is a Norwegian cabin/cottage. This one is Ihsahn's family's hytte, which has clearly been decorated by Ihsahn. The pictures are from this interview.

In the first picture, you can see that iconic sword on the wall, that you can find in many of their promo pics. I'll have to make a separate post for that curse you mobile tumblr pic limit

^ Bonus pics featuring the hytte:
