The incident is shocking and leaves the audience stunned.

Following the concert, the band's manager Charles Offdensen meets with a group of government officials who are concerned about the harmful effects of Dethklok's music on their nation's youth. The minister of foreign affairs expresses his fear that the band's music and message could lead to violence and destruction. However, Offdensen assures them that the band's only intention is to create music and that they intend to keep the peace.

Meanwhile, Dethklok's lead singer, Nathan Explosion, is experiencing strange dreams and visions. In his visions, he sees a strange creature lurking in the shadows. The creature carries a curse that Nathan can feel deep in his soul. The visions become more intense, and Nathan realizes that he must take action to protect the band.

Dethklok decides to embark on a journey to Norway, where they hope to learn more about the curse and how to lift it.

As the band gets closer to the source of the curse, they begin to experience an escalating series of misfortunes. Their bus starts to malfunction, and their equipment begins to fail.

Finally, the band reaches their destination, an old, rundown shack in the middle of the Norwegian countryside. Inside the shack, they find an ancient Norwegian artifact that is believed to contain the curse's power. The band is confronted by a group of people who are determined to protect the artifact at all costs.
