Rock on, councillor. Story out of Oslo, Norway:
Gylve ‘Fenriz’ Nagell has made a career evoking dread and evil with the legendary Norwegian metal band Darkthrone. Now the musician has a new gig – town councillor – and he’s not too pleased about it.
Kolbotn, a suburb of Oslo, will have Nagell as an alternate representative on the council after residents overwhelmingly voted him in despite his attempt stay out of local politics.
Norway’s Liberal Party asked Nagell to run for the position a year ago. He grudgingly accepted, thinking that nothing would come of it.
But after realizing there was at least the possibility of getting chained down to the bureaucratic world of town council, Nagell tried to sabotage his chances. He released a picture holding his cat with “Please don’t vote for me” attached to it.
The campaign strategy backfired.
Nagall now serves as a backup councillor for the town of around 9,000 people. And there isn’t much he can do about. Cont.
