, and now, whether they want it or not, Nifelheim are touring the world, selling t-shirts by the pound to those weird metal-t-shirt-collector types, and having all their old albums rereleased. This is all happening about 18 years into their careers. But does this make them happy? No sir-ee, these Complainy McGrumpypantses won’t be happy until they blow up their devoted audience. Good luck, Nifelheim!
