ZORNHEYM BIOGRAPHY

Founded and led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Zorn, who was determined to shake up the traditional "metal-meets-symphony" approach after leaving iconic black metallers Dark Funeral, ZORNHEYM quickly grew from an ambitious idea into a dramatic musical and narrative driven concept revolving around the horrors of a mental institution and its prisoners. The band's critically acclaimed debut album, "Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns" opened the doors of the asylum in 2017, introducing the terrifying concept and gruesome characters within. Four years later and featuring 10 new tracks of powerful, cinematic and mesmerizing symphonic extreme metal, ZORNHEYM's upcoming album picks up where they left off, inviting the listener on a distracting journey, straight into the depths of the asylum! Once again, ZORNHEYM create their very own wall of sound by using a real choir and a string quartet and bring the story to life in a graphic novel that accompanies and expands upon the stories behind the album!

ZORNHEYM are:
Zorn - Guitars
Scucca - Guitars and Backing Vocals
Bendler- Vocals
Steve Pygmalion - Drums

SUSPERIA BIOGRAPHY

Susperia may have their roots in Norway’s black metal scene, but it is merely a starting point for a band that describes their music as “extreme metal with melodic twists”. A simple philosophy of “no boundaries” demonstrates that the band have no hesitation in embracing and exploring a variety of musical avenues with ease.

The origins of the Oslo based band can be traced back to 1998 when Tjodalv, then occupying the drum seat with Dimmu Borgir, and long-time friend Cyrus (Satyricon, Old Man´s Child) got together to share ideas and write songs. This developed rapidly into the foundations of what eventually became the band Susperia. By March 1999 Tjodalv had left Dimmu Borgir to concentrate fully on building a band that was capable of sharing one vision and performing a challenging style of music. A chance meeting between Athera and Tjodalv at 1999’s Wacken Festival in Germany would lead to the completion of the Susperia line up. Having been handed a CD of ideas, Athera was suitably impressed by what he heard and wasted no time in agreeing to join the fledgling band, bringing with him from his own band, bass guitarist Memnock and guitarist Elvorn.

A powerful live act, the band has consistently remained focused on the live arena. With numerous high profile supports to bands including W.A.S.P., In Flames, Destruction and Dimmu Borgir as well as headline and festival appearances, one of the band’s most cherished experiences thus far remains the invitation to be the main support to the newly reformed Testament in late 2005.

In early 2009 Susperia released their acclaimed “Attitude” album. Just before the launch of a UK tour Athera had a severe heart attack. The band wanted to cancel the tour but Athera wouldn’t let them and instead use a replacement vocalist. After auditions of several vocalists the choice fell on heavy metal singer Bernt Fjellestad (Dagon). Although he had little experience with harsh vocals at the time he nonetheless learned several new vocal techniques and preformed the tour with them with minimal rehearsals and preparations. Dagon went to perform on several other occasions with Susperia at times when Athera had other engagements.

After being in a hiatus for a while Athera chose to depart from the band in 2015 due to other commitments. Dagon was asked soon after and joined the band permanently late 2015. His first official concert with Susperia were on the “70000 tons of metal” cruise.

There is new found confidence and determination running through the Susperia camp these days. They have been working on and off the last couple of years with a new album. The fans have been waiting, and finally, the new album is ready for the masses. Susperia describe that they have gone back to the roots in many ways, with a more “grimmer” expression on their new album, but still with the melodic twist they are well known for. Their black metal roots are more predominant than ever and “The Lyricist” will be a good old fashion kick in the head for both new and old fans!!

The new album entitled “The Lyricist” are now ready, and they are now in negotiations with the record companies for a release this spring/summer.

This is their long-awaited comeback album, and they are so excited to finally show you their new music they have been working on for years.

Susperia are:
Athera - Vocals
Tjodalv - Drums
Lars Fredriksen - Bass
Cyrus - Guitar
Elvorn - Guitar

BIOGRAPHY:
THE BRINGER OF DOOM

ABYSSIC is a unique symbiosis of atmospheric approaches in funeral death/doom, with black and prog influences. The signature is enhanced by orchestrations with Mellotron, Minimoog and Upright Bass.

ABYSSIC is a result of a collaboration between Memnock (Susperia), Elvorn (Susperia) and André Aaslie (Funeral, Images At Twilight, Gromth & Profane Burial) and together with Asgeir Mickelson (Ex-Borknagar, Ihsahn) they recorded the debut album 'A Winter's Tale' in February 2016 (Osmose Productions).

Later 2016 Tjodalv (Susperia, Ex-Dimmu Borgir, Old Man`s Child) and Makhashanah (Henriette Bordvik) (Asagraum (Live), Ex-Sirenia) joined ABYSSIC, and together with Memnock, Elvorn and Aaslie they bring you the ABYSSIC darkness with album nr 2, "High The Memory".







"BROUGHT FORTH IN INIQUITY"DETAILS:

Orchestral Doom / Death metal dark entities ABYSSIC will release their 3rd album entitled "Brought Forth In Iniquity" on October 28th through Osmose Productions.

The album art was created once again by Mitchell Nolte Art and Illustration for ABYSSIC, exclusively.

Finally, ABYSSIC's third opus is here, and the long wait is over... The music is much more violent, faster, and the lyrics are even more haunting than on the last two albums. The orchestration is beyond everything they have done so far and is even more beautiful than ever. So, in other words, "Brought Forth in Iniquity" is faster and more brutal and more beautiful than ever. All we can say is: Expect the unexpected.
