Fenriz and Tchort have noted that Norwegian black metal musicians had become "fed up with the whole death metal scene" and that "death metal was very uncool in Oslo" at the time.
Fenriz a Tchort sa vyjadrili, že nórski blackmetaloví hudobníci mali už „plné zuby celej deathmetalovej scény“, a že „death metal bol veľmi nepopulárny v Osle“ v tej dobe.
