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.
DEMONICAL JOINS FORCES WITH NEKRONOS PROMOTION! [2014.03.08] Nekronos
Promotion Hell is proud to announce the cooperation with
Demonical Swedish death metal batallion. Without a doubt they are one of
the best and most respected bands on their field, an honour to support them and
spread word of their work across this Metal Universe!
Rui Gonçalves (RüPä), founder of this non-profit metal support
agency comments: "We are thrilled to announce our cooperation with Swedish death metal titans
Demonical. I was first introduced to the bands work by a good Belgian friend
back in 2008, since then this band never stop impressing me release after
release. With another of our bands put on hold we got the chance to work with
one of the best Swedish death metal bands of this days in my opinion! Look
forwards to give our best and to raise some Demonical Hell"
Martin Schulman of Demonical comments on this news: "We are
pleased to announce our new deal with Nekronos Promotion from Portugal. Been
following the company's impressive work for a while and we are confident that
this collaboration will take Demonical one step further on the path to world
domination".
Check out Demonical latest videoclips from their new album “Darkness Unbound”:
Demonical was spawned in March 2006 - by former Centinex members
Johan Jansson (guitars & vocals), Martin Schulman (bass) and Ronnie
Bergerståhl (drums) - with a mission to return to the roots of death metal
and deliver a sheer dose of darkness and brutality.
The first audio assault - a four track promo attack entitled "Bloodspell
Divine" - was recorded at Necromorbus Studios during July the same
year. In November 2006 Demonical added vocalist Ludvig Engellau to
the line-up - 'cause Johan wanted to fully concentrate on the six-string
axe - and signed a worldwide multi-album deal with German Cyclone Empire.
The bands first full-length album, "Servants Of The Unlight", was
recorded at both Black Lounge and Necromorbus Studios during January and
February 2007 and released in April the same year. In November 2007 Temple of
Darkness released a limited Demonical/Absu 7”EP featuring one track
from the “Bloodspell Divine” promo.
In December 2007 the band parted ways with vocalist Ludvig Engellau due
to musical and personal reasons. Demonical continued for a few months
with various session vocalists until late March 2008 when Sverker “Widda”
Widgren came on board as the new fulltime frontman.
The bands second full-length album, “Hellsworn”, was recorded at
Necromorbus Studios between December 2008 and February 2009 and released by
Cyclone Empire in May 2009. A split 7”EP called ‘Imperial Anthems
Vol.1’ with Paganizer was released by Cyclone Empire in early
2010. This limited vinyl featured an exclusive Demonical track recorded
at the “Hellsworn” session.
In September 2010 Demonical once again entered Necromorbus Studios
in order to record “Death Infernal”, their anticipated third full-length
album. The album was recorded throughout the fall and released in Europe by
Cyclone Empire (April 2011) and in north-America by Metal Blade (July
2011) as a limited digi-CD, regular CD and limited LP.
The album was praised by fans and media and climbed high at reader-polls in
several magazines. During the fall 2011 drummer Ronnie Bergerståhl
decided to leave the band due to scheduling conflicts and he was quickly
replaced by Fredrik Widigs.
After “Death Infernal” was released the band decided to add a second
guitarist for live situations. A few session members were used at several tours
until Daniel Gustavsson joined as a full-time member during the summer
2012.
The first half of 2013 was spent at both Necromorbus and Wing Studios
in Stockholm with the recordings of “Darkness Unbound”. After the
recording a line-up change took place with Johan Haglund replacing
Johan Jansson and Ämir Batar replacing Fredrik Widigs.
“Darkness Unbound” was released on September 20th 2013 and supported by a
world tour.
