NeKronos Promotion is proud to present the band of the NeKroWeek, they are
SUSPERIA (Blackened Thrash / Heavy Metal)! A great Norwegian band with a strong identity and attitude
which allowed the band to set a fresh
mark of quality on the metal scene! Combining traditional Heavy Metal with
Thrash Metal and giving it a whole new weight and might, you must check them
out! This band features former members
of Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's Child and Satyricon. The Videoclip for "The Lyricist" from their latest album

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 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.

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.

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

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.
