Black metal music, often associated with satanism and church-burning, is set to burst onto the highbrow stage of global diplomacy following a move by Norway to teach the genre to its future envoys. Some 20 diplomats in training received a black metal crash course this year, the Norwegian diplomatic academy said Friday."The objective is to show Norwegian culture in all its diversity. In the musical field, it goes from (Romantic music composer) Edvard Grieg to black metal," its deputy head Steinar Lindberg said, adding he hoped to repeat the experience."In Italy, Japan or France, young people are learning Norwegian to decrypt the lyrics. Black metal is an export product and it's important that future diplomats are interested in it," he added.

I spent hours arguing that Norway isn't that awesome over the past years, and again and again, things like this happen. YOU JUST DON'T WANT ME TO WIN THIS ARGUMENT, NORWAY.
