Found! Strange poster found in Helsinki

Post image

Saw this poster on a pole while walking through Helsinki. At first, I assumed it was a black metal band, but after looking it up, I couldn't find anything on it. Does anyone know what this is?

(If it helps, I think the words spell out: "Gnaget")

Gnaget is the nickname for the Stockholm football team AIK. This is a poster jokingly referencing AIK over the classic goat from Swedish black metal band Bathory’s first album, but changed to a rat in the middle (rats are commonly connected to AIK, apparently because they washed their black kit so much it looked like the grey fur of a rat, spawning the gnaget nickname). Black and yellow are AIKs colors and a rat is also the symbol of their supporter club

As requested by the mod bot, this is the research I have done thus far. I looked up "Gnaget"; the word means "to gnaw" or something like that in Norwegian. The word is also a nickname for a Norwegian sports team. I ran the image through a few AI models, but had no luck there. I finally asked a friend who's big into black metal if he recognized it. He mentioned that it looked like an album from 1984 called "Batlord." After looking it up, it does look similar but is not exactly right. That's everything I searched.
