The Inferno Music Conference has been organized since 2006 in conjunction with the Inferno Metal Festival. From being a small informal meeting place for industry and media that nevertheless came to the Inferno Metal Festival, it has now become a big conference. In 2022 we had a total of 243 delegates from 35 different countries, which makes it the largest metal music conference in the world! Inferno Music Conference is a unique offering for anyone who works with metal and who wants to find international partners.
The Inferno Metal Festival has been the most important music festival in Norway for the metal genre since 2001 and is held every year at Easter at Rockefeller and John Dee as well as local clubs in Oslo. Around 300 international delegates (press / labels / producers / artists etc.) visit the festival every year.
****The conference is held at Clarion Hotel® The Hub ****
Main Goal
The music business is always changing. To achieve long-term survival, a business must develop and adapt with the times. Inferno Music Conference creates an opportunity to keep up with the changes and to expand networks. Our genre is strong and narrow, and we love it! Our main goal is to create the world's best and most important meeting place for the International metal music industry.
Equality - we're all red on the inside
Inferno Music Conference is an international music conference where everyone is welcome. All genders from any continent; we all have a strong common denominator; metal music. We work diligently to help create a well-mixed collection of women and men from all over the planet. Unfortunately, we see that there is an uneven distribution of gender in today's industry and do what we can to contribute in this area.
This year, the conference features such events as:

Black Metal Bus Sightseeing: (Mar 31st) **need sepratae ticket (must be 18+)
The Black Metal Bus sightseeing with Anders Odden (Cadaver, Celtic Frost, Order) is back! A trip through some of the places that marked the beginning of the legend that became NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL.
Tickets: https://www.ticketmaster.no/event/black-metal-bus-sightseeing-tickets/726037?language=en-us
Bus Tour for the normal music fan the story of Norwegian black metal is essencially something about murder, suicide and church fires. Between 1991 and 1993 many of the most important events in this dark chapter in Norwegian music history took place in Oslo and we have put together a field trip to the sights that takes you back in time.
In the beginning there is always someone that does something new and then gets people to follow a new vision. Through his record store, Helvete, and his band, Mayhem, Øystein Aarseth aka Euronymous became the key person. He inspired and promoted all the early bands in the early Norwegian metal scene such as Emperor, Darkthrone, Immortal, Burzum etc.
He was subsequently killed by the infamous leader of Burzum, Varg Vikernes aka Count Grishnack, in his apartment on the 10th of August 1993 after a whole year of turmoil in the growing but obscure underground scene of Oslo and Bergen alike.
This date marked the end of an era and the small scene that until then was totally unknown to the public was in the tabloid media and made headlines far outside Norway.
Anders Odden formed his first black metal band, Slaught, in 1986 after attending a rehearsal with Mayhem at the age of 14. He was one of the pioneers in the infancy of the Norwegian scene dealing with tape trading, organizing of concerts and creating more and more extreme music on his own. He formed Cadaver in 1988 and released the first Norwegian death metal album on Earache Records in 1990. His band played shows with Darkthrone, Mayhem, Old Funeral and many more bands of what would become the Norwegian black metal scene in the beginning. This field trip has exclusive anecdotes and personal memories of the early life of the scene from someone who was there.
