ZORNHEYM UNVEIL THE FIRST COMIC STRIP FOR THE SINGLE "THE OPPOSED"! [2017.02.16]
Swedish extreme symphonic metallers
ZORNHEYM
are unveiling the first comic strip from the forthcoming graphic novel that is
drawn by talented artist Art by Bring
(Märvel,
Evil-Lÿn,
Satan's Fall). This comic strip is based on the band’s single that was
released on the 19th of August 2016. The comic strip travels deeper into the
lyrics and takes you further into the story of how patient ZH000A27 ended
up at asylum. It also served as the storyboard for the music video/short movie
version of the song, which is available to see right now on youtube.

Comment by Zorn: “I had been following Anu on instagram for quite sometime and I was
blown away by her skills. I decided to approach her and presented the
Zornheym concept. Soon I found myself writing scripts for a comic book that
she was drawing.”
Added by artist Anu Bring: “Zorn contacted me a year ago and straight away I was very excited
about the possibility of working together. First we were planning to get only a
few illustrations done but soon our projects started to expand. It was very
natural in its growth as it's been a pleasure to work with Zorn and his
stories. Making a comic book has always been my dream and now finally it's
becoming coming reality with Zornheym.”

ZORNHEYM "THE OPPOSED" MAKING OF MUSIC VIDEO! [2017.01.20]
Swedish extreme symphonic metallers
ZORNHEYM
have unleashed today their making of for their debut music video "The Opposed"!
The band comments:"Here are some behind the scenes footage from the
making of "The Opposed" music video/short movie. Released by Non Serviam
Records. Director/producer Martin Strandberg, Make up/mask by
Ingela Larsson"
The video tells the story of one of Zornheim’s more violent and strange
inmates. A man striken with a demonic face on the back of his head, hell bent on
possessing him for it’s own malevolent purposes. Find out the rest of this tale
when you watch the video!
Zorn comments: “Working with Martin has been an absolute
honour. He is a perfectionist and really has the eye for telling a story. I
think he has captured the essence of prisoner ZH000A27’s agony. Also
Bendler has pulled off a hell of performance starring as the main character
and Ingela Larsson’s make up is just mind blowing!!!” (Check her out
on instagram @ingelaviolamakeup)
Director Martin Strandberg (Sabaton, Shining, Sterbhaus) comments: “I
believe that there are few things more satisfying than involving yourself in an
ambitious project along with talented, hard working people - and this video has
been no exception! It has been an extensive undertaking on many levels, and
despite limited time and resources we've pulled through with blood, sweat and
tears to realise our vision! I'm never really satisfied with any production,
always poking for faults and weak spots to learn from - but I'm very proud to
say that fulfilment has never felt closer than this time around! It's really
exciting that the time to share this monstrosity with you all is drawing near,
and I can only hope that you will enjoy the result half as much as I have making
it come true!”

"(...) Dark, so dark within these closing walls
Cold, alone and broken by my past
Dark twin; i carved you off my face
And now, you're yearning to take my place (...)" The Opposed
From the cold dark lands of Sweden where hatred dwells and darkness reigns
comes the ultimate symphonic extreme band by the name of Zornheym. A band
that was founded by the genial mind of the multi-instrumental
songwriter Zorn(Aktiv Dödshjalp, ex-Dark Funeral, ex-Devian, etc.)
who quickly was joined by Bendler(Facebreaker, Engulfing Rage,
etc.) who owns truly outstanding and dynamic vocals, Angst
(Diabolical) who is without a doubt a top quality experienced extreme metal
drummer and finally Scucca (Encrowned, etc.) who is a damn talented
guitarist as well as a great music arranger! Zornheym is an alliance of experienced Swedish extreme metal-hearts who forged a symphonic piece of
art by the title of "The Opposed"! A piece that will make
symphonic extreme metal adepts
jaw fall, not only for this outstanding track, which will be featured in a near
future debut full length, but at most by all the hard work and strong concept forged by
the band. A conceptual album story that may remind you of King Diamond
unique horror pieces, simply a tormenting delight to ones senses!
Zornheym horror story concept is allot more than just a musical
experience, it's in fact the whole horror experience right in your face! Just
check... together with the song we have the music video and a comic book strip
with the whole story behind the song! What more can we ask for on an
age where extreme metal music industry is so damn saturated!? This is without a doubt a whole new and
fresh experience!
"The Opposed"
is part of an ambitious work crafted by extreme
dedication and devotion by all the band members! Zornheym brings Symphonic extreme metal into a whole new horror cinematic
concept, a work of pure excellence! In fact, this has been the whole masterplan growing inside
Zorn's mind once he departed from Dark Funeral. At that time his
genius was eager to embrace a more
demanding metal experience who could satisfy properly his creative mind!
"The Opposed" will shake
Traditional extreme metal grounds, a new vision approaches within this whole
new symphonic experience!
Let me take you now deeper into this horror scenario! Zornheim is an asylum
for the criminally insane, the epicentre of all Zornheym narrative. Each
songs talks about an inmate from this mental institution. Each one of these
deranged and demented inmates has a horror tale of it's own to be told! This is
a highly detailed and demanding concept that has put the band to the test! All
of this horrid scenarios are graphically reproduced on its own comic strip
drawn
the amazing artist
Anu Bring (Märvel, Evil-lÿn, Satan’s fall). I must sayI am more than impressed with all the details behind each song/story! This is a HUGE work! "The Opposed" single, who's cover art was drawn by Jens
Rydén (Marduk, Thyrfing), particularly tells us the tale of Edward
van Rheingold (Zornheim inmate No. ZH000A27), an heir to a noble family who
suffers from Diprosopus and has tendencies for self-mutilation! Since a
child he has isolated himself due to his malignant abnormal growth of his skull,
this has caused Edward a series of instigating paranoia of a second self inner
communication, this deranged behaviour has made him a quite anti-social person
since early age! He was committed to the asylum in his late adolescence once his
self-mutilations resulted on the extreme deformation of his body leaving
him with deep permanent scars! Still his musical endeavours continue to offer
him some moments of relief as his sole possession is his cello. However these
moments are short-lived before he reverts back to his continual raving and
screams of anguish. This suicidal maniac was committed to the asylum for the
rest of his living days!
This piece of extreme metal symphonic art was recorded at Wing Studios
(Sweden) by the
veteran sound magician Sverker Widgren (Demonical, Diabolical, October Tide,
IXXI, Etc.). The ending result is massive and full of musical layers
that fit in perfection on each other resulting on an ultimate symphonic musical
experience! The brilliant string orchestra by Dies Iona Ensembly and
choirs by among other Lars "Lerta" Palmqvist (Scar Symmetry) blend
perfectly with Zornheym outstanding extreme musical compositions!
All In all, "The Opposed" is impressive and addictive in all ways and forms,
making you eager for what is to come in the bands near future! Zornheym
delivers an
extraordinaire whole new musical concept who enables it's listeners
to experience both musically and visually this cinematographic
symphonic extreme metal creation! A piece of art with high impact not to be
missed by adepts of bands such as Dissection, Dimmu Borgir, King Diamond,
Behemoth, Emperor, etc! "The Opposed" by Zornheym is a track
you need to listen again and again in order to check it's every detail... in the
end you might feel as if you are already part of this horror scenario! You might
ask yourself if you are
still sane!? Or are you already ravaging your way into Zornheim asylum?
