Scandinavias only music course focusing on Metal!
In more than 20 years we have developed a large amount of headbanging metal-musicians at Buskerud folkehøgskole. Metalheads from all over Norway have started up at our school to refine the dark tones of rock and metal.
The Rock & Metal course at Buskerud folkehøgskole is one of a kind. It have been said to be «The most exciting course I have ever experienced» by the main man Ihsahn in the legendary black-metal band Emperor.
Our focuses:
- Band experience; interaction, concerts and studio
- Composing; self-composed songs
- Theory; with following practical rehearsals
The teaching is musically inspired by rock, metal, jazzrock and more(Gojira, Opeth, Behemoth, Meshuggah, Mastodon, Emperor, Black Sabbath Pantera, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Swans, Zeal & Ardor, King Crimson, Tool etc).
Take a deep dive into interaction, composition, improvisation, music- and sound theory. You will learn the process from ideas to published material, and throughout the year we do concerts with the best equipment on real stages.
Every year we publish an album under the label «Ungt blod». You will find the works by our students on: https://buskerud.fhs.no/rock-metal/
The liberal folk high schools are built on values that are not based on one particular belief. They encourage students with different interests and beliefs to apply.
