Zornheym - Swedish symphonic black death metal band. This is a damn
promising new band eager to set the extreme metal world in flames with their
epic dark creations! Be sure to keep a close eye on this band, highly
recommended!
Rui Gonçalves (RüPä), founder of this non-profit metal support
agency comments: "We are honoured to announce our cooperation with our long time friend
Zornheym and his new work. Since 2007 I've been a close friend to
Zornheym, at the time he was playing with Devian (blackened thrash
death metal band). Those where great metal supporting years, through those times
I've checked a countless number of his creations, in and outside metal! I can
only say I was blown away with his creative mind as well as natural born musical
talent and skills! I just can't wait to listen to his debut under the name of
Zornheym, I am sure it shall be one of his most grandiose creations of all
times!
Zornheym comments on this news: "Today I would like to welcome
one more critical parter to my team. Ladies and gents I have found my promotion
team! NEKRONOS! I use to work with Rui way back in the day when he
supported us in Devian and the results back then were phenomenal!!! Gonna
be nice to re-live the good old days! Really looking forward to working together
again!".
Zornheym is from Finspång, a small southern town in Sweden. Finspang
comes wih a great musical legacy that was a center for black metal in the early
90's. After being entranced by artists and bands such as Yngwie Malmsteen,
King Diamond, Slash, Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden, Zorneym picked up the
guitar at the mere age of 12. He knew from that age on that music would be his
calling. At the age of 16 the urge to play guitar after hearing ”Magnum Opus”
with Yngwie J. Malmsteen became an obsession that ended up with
practice session that lasted for 12 hours a day. At that time he also started
buying a lot of different instructional VHS with his favourite guitar players.
In early 2000 he formed Suicidal Seduction that gained some underground
reputation in Sweden and that released two Eps. By this time Zornheym
composed all guitar and bass lines, even though he played lead guitar. He had
become very interested in studying how to compose a song from every possible
angle and to pull it all together as a solid unit.
In 2004 he discovered crust and immediately formed Aktiv Dödshjälp. As
the sole composer he handled both the guitar and bass duties. After various line
up changes the band is now complete with their singer Roberth Karlsson
(current singer for Scar Symetry)
In mid 2006 Emil Dragutinovic (ex-Marduk, ex-The Legion, ex-Devian)
offered Zornheym to join forces with him and Legion (ex-Ophthalamia,
ex-Marduk, ex-Witchery, ex-Devian) in their brand new band DEVIAN as
their new bass player. The debut album ”Ninewinged Serpent” was already
written, even though he played a big role with producing the vocals. During the
recording process one of the guitar players left the band, that recently had
signed a deal with CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS, the spot was offered to
Zornheym instantly. On the their first tour, 8 weeks with Vader and
SepticFlesh, Zornheym learned a lot about how to become a great stage
presence. He was addicted to giving the crowd and fans their moneys worth.
Together with Legion he would fire up the crowd every night. For the
second album, "God to the Illfated” he composed a great deal of songs and
arranged and produced a lot. After a few more tours the band was put to sleep
soon after Legion's departure from the band in 2010.
In early 2011 Zornheym saw that DARK FUNERAL were looking for a
new bass player which caught Zornyem's eye. After a few meetings with
band leader Ahriman and Chaq Mol, Zornheym was offered the
position as the band's new bass player. Together with them he has raised hell on
some of the biggest stages around the world. Together they have toured
Europe, North- Central and South America, Asia and Australia.
Zornheym debut, and yet untitled album drum recordings are done!
Everything is going according to the plan at Wing Studios.
This week the band will start tracking guitars. Yesterday
Zornheym got all the pre work done in his guitars and bass by the
talented Alan McCahey in Stockholm.
Zornheymwill be using his
Deathbucker pickups, from Lace Pickups
on an album for the first time!

DEVIAN (Last Formation):
"We have decided to put Devian to rest. After
the tour with Unleashed in 2009 we started to focus on the third Devian opus.
After a few months of hard work on the album Legion announced that he'd leave
the band. About that time we also parted ways with the label that released our
two first albums, Century Media. (...)" Devian official last statement !
"Like many fans of this outstanding Blackened Death Thrash
Metal, I, that followed their career since their birth as "Rebel Angels"
then "Elizium", was dishapointed to see another great band to fall into
the oblivion of their end. Was an honour to support and create the Kult of
the Serpent (Devian Official Street Team). A privilege to support such
outstanding musicians and Metallions with all my energies and MetalHeart!
Devian shall be remembered by many as just another band of ex-Marduk members
Legion and Emil, they proved with both their records "Ninewinged
Serpent" and "God to the Illfated" , Tours and loads of live dates,
that they where allot more than that and with an own strong identity, there sure
was allot more to offer their fans as we could hear still on their myspace! Their legacy was set into Metal World and
still their members music goes on! Support them !!! " RüPä - NeKronos
Promotion
"(...)Joinus left Emil, Tomas and Carl
decided to put Devian to sleep, forever…(...)" still each one of the 4
Swedish Riders of the Apocalypse continued with their music careers in some
great Swedish bands, you can
follow them still, one by one!
