Neseblod Records – formerly the Helvete record store (the one with the "Black Metal" basement that everyone takes a picture at) – recently suffered a fire in their basement. While Neseblod Records continues to recover, shop owners have taken to Instagram to note that they're back open and they're working on renovating the basement.
"The shop is finally open!!" wrote Neseblod Records on Instagram. "We have emptied the basement and will renovate it as soon as possible, so only the top floor will be available for now. Thanks to all of you who have helped out, both physically and by donations. You have been a massive help and we can't express how much we appreciate each and every one of you."
A GoFundMe was launched at the time of the fire to help Neseblod Records get back on their feet. The GoFundMe is still open and you can donate here.
Helvete – originally owned by Euronymous – was shut down in early 1993 after drawing negative attention by local police and media thanks to the activities of the Black Metal Inner Circle, and was eventually reopened as Neseblod Records. The record story is widely considered to be a black metal museum.
