A Comfortable Fear of Rock was an unusual Norwegian Metal band. Their sound was best described as the bastard child of a three-way between Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, and Abba with a heavy dose of Norwegian folk and liturgical music. This is what Norse folk music sounds like for those curious.

Their unique sound and bizarre lyrics about “the frozen third world” made them something of a cult phenomena. They even opened for David Bowie for three shows. He described them, in a documentary made on them years later as “nice lads, but jumpy. You could walk up behind one of them and say hi and he’d jump like you shoved a poker up his butt.”
The band was not without controversy. They were accused of satanism, witchcraft, and dealing with the occult. Their interviews were almost lynchian as the band members seemed to deliberately avoid explaining their lyrics and instead preferred talking about literally anything else. They also controversially released a hidden track on one album dubbed by their fans as the Drowning Song of Chappaquidick that includes the line in Old Norse “Dear cursed Kennedy Brother, you will wander the dark caverns of heck for all eternity for the drowning of Lady Mary Jo” and , in English, “you have lost your inheritance for vile participation”. They included literary references like that.
Pirates World was their last show. What exactly happened that night is unclear. What is known is that eighteen people were killed, including the four band members. The four members of a Comfortable Fear of Rock were found, upon autopsy, to have died of exposure to extreme cold in spite of it being a warm Florida Fall night. The park closed soon after and was demolished, but the resulting development was quickly abandoned. The area is unusually cold and silent for Florida.
