SUSPERIA NEWS UPDATE!
[2018.09.10]

Norwegian blackened thrash/heavy metallers SUSPERIA have parted ways with founding bassist Memnock and singer Dagon. The decision was made last week. The band wishes them both good luck on other projects as in life in general.

Cyrus founding guitarist comments: “Sometimes it is better to go separate ways to regain inspiration, future progression and expectations on a same level. SUSPERIA is very much alive when it comes to writing new songs and will still make the musical landscape we always have done. That being said, we are not focused on live shows unless there is something we find interesting”.
Cyrus

Next up will be the show in Larvik at the SPETAKKEL FESTIVAL and Athera will be back once more on stage with SUSPERIA. The band are also happy to welcome Lars Fredriksen on bass guitar for this show, which we are very excited about.

Athera founding singer comments: "So I guess the cat's out of the bag.. It's been almost 5 years since my departure from my beloved band that I've played in for half my life. Thanks to Bernt Fjellestad for carrying the torch for a while.
I will return to the stage tomorrow at the Spetakkel Festival in Larvik, Norway. Been doing rehearsals for 3 weeks now, with constant goosebumps. The band has never sounded better if you ask me. Looking forward to tear down the stage tomorrow during our headliner spot, hope to see you there!
It's been too long... Feels good to be back."

More news will come soon.

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 RELEASE "THE LYRICIST" NEW ALBUM TODAY!
[2018.03.16]

Norwegian blackened thrash/heavy metallers SUSPERIA have released today via Agonia Records their new album entitled "The Lyricist" that has been released nine years to the day its predecessor ("Attitude", 2009) came out.

The origins of SUSPERIA can be traced back to 1998 when Tjodalv, then occupying the drum seat with Dimmu Borgir, and long-time friend Cyrus (ex-Satyricon, Old Man's Child) got together to share ideas and write songs. Clearly rooted and seasoned in the Norwegian black metal scene, SUSPERIA elevated its sound into more melodic areas of extreme metal, embracing and exploring a variety of musical avenues with ease.

On "The Lyricist", SUSPERIA has gone back to its black origin in many ways, one of which is a more grimmer expression. The characteristic melodic twist the band is known for is still present, and an additional layer of variety has been added thanks to new vocalist, Bernt 'Dagon' Fjellestad (whose stage debut with the band was made at last year's 70000 Tons Of Metal Festival). From SUSPERIA's pragmatic point of view, the new album is a "good old-fashioned kick in the head, both old and new fans should find enjoyable".

"The Lyricist" was recorded at three different studios in Norway between February 2015 and May 2016. The album was later mixed and mastered at Strand Studio (Chrome Division, The Wretched End, In Vain) by Marius Strand. Cover design and artwork was prepared by Vincent Fouquet. New band photos were shot by Espen Bakken.

The origins of SUSPERIA can be traced back to 1998 when Tjodalv, then occupying the drum seat with Dimmu Borgir, and long-time friend Cyrus (ex-Satyricon, Old Man's Child) got together to share ideas and write songs. Clearly rooted and seasoned in the Norwegian black metal scene, SUSPERIA elevated its sound into more melodic areas of extreme metal, embracing and exploring a variety of musical avenues with ease.

On "The Lyricist", SUSPERIA has gone back to its black origin in many ways, one of which is a more grimmer expression. The characteristic melodic twist the band is known for is still present, and an additional layer of variety has been added thanks to new vocalist, Bernt 'Dagon' Fjellestad (whose stage debut with the band was made at last year's 70000 Tons Of Metal Festival). From SUSPERIA's pragmatic point of view, the new album is a "good old-fashioned kick in the head, both old and new fans should find enjoyable".

"The Lyricist" was recorded at three different studios in Norway between February 2015 and May 2016. The album was later mixed and mastered at Strand Studio (Chrome Division, The Wretched End, In Vain) by Marius Strand. Cover design and artwork was prepared by Vincent Fouquet. New band photos were shot by Espen Bakken.

SUSPERIA - The Lyricist - 2018 - Agonia Records
Genre: Blackened Thrash/Heavy Metal

THE BAND:
Susperia has always been one of biggest metal promises from Norway. Since the foundation back in 1998 by Tjodalv (ex-Dimmu Borgir, ex-Old Man's Child) and Cyrus (ex-Satyricon, ex-Old Man's Child) the band had a quite notorious black metal background, something that was quite easy to notice on the bands debut EP "Illusions of Evil". This has been something that the band has abandoned through the years and the same happened to the use of keyboards that where performed on the debut EP by Mustis (ex-Dimmu Borgir), even so the debut album "Predominance" has been until now the bands most extreme full-length piece to the date, I mean until now, because the band is back to their dark primordial roots in the new blackened thrash/heavy metal piece by the title of "The Lyricist", that is in my opinion, the natural follow-up to the bands debut release "Predominance". You can now imagine how Susperia would have sounded like if they never departed from their extremer metal path!
Twenty years of success have allowed this powerful live band to tour with great bands such as Testament, W.A.S.P., In Flames, Destruction and Dimmu Borgir.
With this new album the band rises with one of their heaviest and most extreme albums to the date, much thanks to the incursion of new blood by the new singer Dagon who has ignited the flames of creation and with it a new stage for Susperia has arise!

THE NEW ALBUM:
"The Lyricist" bring fourth a new found confidence and determination deep within Susperia core, keeping up the melodic essence and strong identity the band now enhances its classical sound with reborn extremer metal features that takes Susperia sound into an absolute new level... and yeah Tjodalv blast beats are also back for your delight!
Nine years passed since the last Susperia original full-length release "Attitude", yet the wait was more than worthy since the band couldn't simply have a better comeback!
With "The Lyricist" the band has created one their richest and strongest releases to the date. The combination of rock-solid structures within each new and mind-blowing blackened thrash/heavy metal song is impressive. To add to the classic heavy metal ear catching melody and the thrash metal vicious fierceness we have some reborn blackened extremer metal touch as well as a slight "doomish" dark atmosphere that can be heard in tracks like "My Darkest Moment", this surely makes this new album become one of the most impressive and dynamic metal offers for 2018! What a comeback!

THE MUSICIANS:
"The Lyricist" is allot more than just another Susperia album, in fact this experienced metal quintet has reinvented their music and feel like from fire reborn, with it they bring fourth an absolute new and fierce blackened thrash/heavy metal experience. The incursion of bands new blood by Dagon allowed the band to overcome what has been done before in the past, the new singer has that amazing vocal reach that shall impress you since first listening, imagine a mix of Athera (ex-Susperia), Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Matt Barlow (ex-Iced Earth) and Warrel Dane (R.I.P. : Sanctuary,ex-Nevermore) all in one singer! Susperia remaining members are the same that have recorded the bands debut "Predominance" album back in 1999 and it pretty much feels like they are back on those days with such flammable and inspired creations that will set your ears ablaze!
Tjodalv drums are better than ever in one of his greatest works to the date. Cyrus and Elvorn riffage and guitar melodies keep the essence within the classic Susperia sound. Memnock (Abyssic, ex-Old Man's Child) growling backing vocals and powerful bass lines solidify one of the best creations by the band to the date! Remarkably well produced, easy listening, addictive/"catchy" music where extremer metal blends perfectly with classic heavy metal and old-fashioned thrash metal!

TRACK BY TRACK:
The album starts with "I Entered", a powerful track that much alike the band arises in extremity. "Heretic" follows up; this is one of the most extreme songs of the whole new piece. The title track "The Lyricist" is one of my favourite tracks; this is another strong track revealing the bands reborn formula, fast and dark as hell. Another of my personal favourite tracks is "My Darkest Moment" which has a whole new dark/doom metal atmosphere as it explores metal most obscure and melancholic grounds. "Day I Died" is an outstanding track and another of my favourites, the whole catchy melody gets stuck in your ears since the very first listening. Tracks like "Void", "Feed the Fire" and "Whore of Man" continue to explore the Heavy/Extreme Metal combo in a impressive way. "Come Alive" is another of my own favourite tracks, an old fashioned thrash metal anthem that ends this ass kicking album!

THE CONCLUSION:
Norway is a land of Vikings. frost and quality metal music, Susperia are a proof of the last one! With the latest work "The Lyricist" the band awakens the Susperian extremer metal Beast back from slumber and unleash one of their best and most addictive albums to the date! This has been a long awaited release from these experienced Norwegian musicians and the ending result proves they still got the fire to create one of the best pieces of metal for 2018! A dynamic and highly recommended new album for old and new fans of the band! This is the darker, heavier and the most extreme album that the band has done so far. "The Lyricist" will please adepts of quality metal music performed by impressively talented musicians!
