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/

Hamburg er Tysklands nest største by og er glemt perle i Nord-Europa.
Byen full av kultururelle opplevelser, kunst, musikk, historie og yrende byliv. 
Under studieturen drar vi bl.a. på metalkonserter, klassiske konserter i en av Europas flotteste saler, kunstutstillinger og musikkbutikk-safari.
Hamburg har et godt kollektivtilbud, og alle elever får reisekort så man kan utforske alle deler av byen både på land og vann.
Rock & Metal reiser alltid på høsten, og studieturen er en samlende opplevelse som knytter klassen sterkt sammen. 

På høsten arrangerer vi en tradisjonsrik fjelltur til en hytte i Jønndalen i Nore og Uvdal.
