Black Metallers ENEPSIGOS, one of the projects of the ubiquitous Norwegian frontman Doedsadmiral (NORDJEVEL, SVARTELDER, DOEDSVANGR), who in the case of ENEPSIGOS, goes under the name of V.I.T.H.R, have today debuted their new lyric video for the track “Pagan Rites” from the band’s upcoming debut full-length album “Plague of Plagues”

The video, by Hugo Aribart,  can be seen below and at https://youtu.be/5eK9w0Ag3XE

Aside from  V.I.T.H.R, who formed the band in 2015, on vocals, ENEPSIGOS’ lineup includes Straff (ex SARKOM) on guitars and bass, and Italian drummer Thorns, known for his work with BLUT AUS NORD, DEATHROW, FIDES INVERSA, FROSTMOON ECLISPE and DARVAZA, to name but a few.  Together, the trio have created a band whose music is dark and brutal, and heavily ritualistic, in the tradition of early Black Metal.

“Plague of Plagues” is set for release on Drakkar Productions on the 15th January.  The eight track album was mixed and mastered by Tore Stjerna at the Necromorbus Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, whilst Guitars, Bass and Vocals were recorded at Velvet Recording, in Spydeberg, Norway, with engineer Christer Krohg,  and the drums were recorded at the Beastcave Studios in Italy

With  artwork by Vincent Fouquet and Above Chaos, tracklisting  for “Plague of Plagues” is as follows:

  1. Plague Of Plagues
  2. Råtne Engler
  3. Pagan Rites
  4. The Cold Bones
  5. Manifestvm
  6. Massedrapssalmer
  7. Ghoul
  8. Askenatt

The news earlier this year that Norwegian frontman Doedsadmiral   was forming a new band was greeted with a fair amount of interest, given that this shadowy figure had already created  three bands with lineups that include some of the best known and experienced musicians in the extreme metal genres.  Bands that have  not only gained a large fan base, but have also released critically acclaimed albums, and all within a very short space of time.

And it seems that his new band, DOEDSVANGR, is set to follow in the footsteps of its predecessors. With Shatraug (HORNA, SARGEIST, BEHEXEN and NIGHTBRINGER) and  Anti-Christian (TSJUDER,  BEATEN TO DEATH) joining the frontman on guitars and drums respectively, the band has inked a deal with the Belgian label Immortal Frost Productions for the release of its first album.

With its debut full-length, which will be titled “Satan Ov Suns”, DOEDSVANGER has created an album, that, according to the band is “very dark work, very  evil and with extreme variations, but with a lot of groove”.   Drums for “Satans Ov Suns” were recorded at the Oslo Klang studios, Vocals were mixed and mastered at Velvet Recording in Sypdeberg, Norway and Guitars and Bass were recorded in Tampere, Finland.  The album will be mixed and mastered by producer Bjarne Stensli.  “Satan Ov Suns” is set for release in 2017 at a date as yet to be announced.

Doedsadmiral’s bands have proved to be very popular with fans  of the Black Metal genre.  NORDJEVEL, which includes current and former members of MARDUK, RAGNAROK, FATAL IMPACT, TVANGESTE and BYRDI, is the first of the bands who has stepped out of the studio and is making an impact on the live scene,  whilst SVARTELDER, with current and former members of CARPATHIAN FOREST,  IN THE WOODS, DEN SAAKALDTE, PANTHEON I and OLD FOREST, and ENEPSIGOS with current and former members of SARKOM, BLUT AUS NORD, DEATHROW, FIDES INVERSA, FROSTMOON ECLISPE and DARVAZA are still studio-based.

So what does he have in mind for DOEDSVANGR, and why add yet another band to his “portfolio”?

“All my other bands each have a different sound  and musical ethos one from the other, and DOEDSVANGR is one that comes from a much darker direction.  DOEDSVANGR, like the other projects in which I’m involved, does not come from me alone, but is the result of two great musicians coming onboard so that together we can create music the way we all want it to sound, and perform it in a way that we all want to hear it.  Will DOEDSVSANGR perform live one day?  That remains to be seen, let’s just see where the album takes us first.

“Why another band?  Why not? I’ve been a fan of Black Metal, and all it’s different forms, for as long as I can remember.  In fact, it was just the other day that I was saying to my manager, Patricia Thomas,  that it has been twelve years since she and I first started talking about doing what I’m doing right now.  Whilst many say that I do have some skill as a vocalist, I certainly don’t class myself as a brilliant musician, or writer, or anything even close to it come to that. But  I have been fortunate enough to have the means that allow me to create different bands within the Extreme genre and bring together different artists, exceptional artists at that, for whom I have long had an enormous respect, and whose skills and experience fortunately more than make up for my own shortcomings. It’s that “bringing together” of these superb artists and allowing them free reign with what they do musically, that is, and always will be, the crux of what I do.   Am I living the dream?  Yes, most definitely!  Do I work hard at all aspects of it?  You bet I do!  Will there be more to come in the future?  Just watch this space!”

Formed earlier this year by V.I.T.H.R, otherwise known as Doedsadmiral, the mysterious Norwegian artist behind bands such as NORDJEVEL, SVARTELDER and DOEDSVANGR, and quickly signed by Drakkar Productions, Black Metallers ENEPSIGOS have revealed details of their debut-full length album “Plague of Plagues”, which is expected to hit the streets in January.

Guitars, Bass and Vocals for “Plague of Plagues”  were recorded at Velvet Recording, in Spydeberg, Norway, with engineer Christer Krohg,  whilst the drums were recorded at the Beastcave Studios in Italy.  The eight track album was mixed and mastered by Tore Stjerna at the Necromorbus Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.

With  artwork by Vincent Fouquet and Above Chaos, tracklisting  for “Plague of Plagues” is as follows:

With his almost uncanny skill to draw together musicians from some of the best known Black and Extreme metal bands on the scene, frontman V.I.T.H.R has once again put together an interesting lineup.  This time he has harnessed the talents of Straff (ex SARKOM) on guitars and bass, and Italian drummer Thorns, known for his work with BLUT AUS NORD, DEATHROW, FIDES INVERSA, FROSTMOON ECLISPE and DARVAZA, to name but a few.

Together the trio have created an album that is dark and brutal and with a marked ritualistic atmosphere.   The traditions of early Black Metal are still alive and well in the music of ENEPSIGOS as can be heard from the recently debuted track “Manifestvm” below and at https://soundcloud.com/enepsigos-official/manifestvm

Norwegian Black Metallers NORDJEVEL, whose self-titled debut album released at the start of the year gleaned universal praise from fans and critics alike, have revealed a new video for a track from the album. The name of the track, “Djevelen I Nord”, which features TROLL’s Nagash on guest vocals, means “Devil in the North”, and the video is a visualisation of the theme of the song.  Directed by Marcin Halerz of Red Pig Productions “Djevelen I Nord” can be seen below and on YouTube at https://youtu.be/zS1YAM7KdvQ

NORDJEVEL, which translated means “Northern Devil”, was founded by frontman Doedsadmiral and guitarist Nord. Whilst Doedsadmiral (SVARTELDER, DOEDSVANGR, ENEPSIGOS) himself remains a shadowy figure, whose real identity has never been revealed, there is little doubt that the rest of the band have come with impressive pedigrees.  Nord himself can add FATAL IMPACT, TVANGESTE and BYRDI to his resume, whilst Sweden’s Fredrik Widigs is known the world-over as MARDUK’s drummer. The trio have since been joined by former RAGNAROK bassist DzeptiCunt, completing the lineup which has now become a cohesive, and impressive, force, both in, and out, of the studio.

SILEREOMNIA - Booklet

The band will close the year with a show at the Aalborg Metal Festival in Denmark on the 12th November, and have so far been confirmed for various festivals in 2017 including Blastfest in Bergen, Norway, in February, Eradication Festival in the UK in April, and the Maryland Deathfest in May, which will be the band’s first North American appearance.

NORDJEVEL are currently working on their sophomore full-length album and more information about NORDJEVEL can be found on the band’s website at http://nordjevel.moonfruit.com/ or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/nordjevelofficial

Black Metallers ENEPSIGOS, have debuted a track from their upcoming album “Plague of Plagues” which is expected to be out on Drakkar Productions around January of 2017.  The track, “Manifestvm” is streaming exclusively on Metal Hammer Norway, and can be heard at http://www.metalhammer.no/?p=6711p

ENEPSIGOS was created earlier this year by V.I.T.H.R, otherwise known as Doedsadmiral, the mysterious Norwegian artist behind bands such as NORDJEVEL, SVARTELDER and DOEDSVANGR.  All bands that have caused a stir amongst fans, with their illustrious lineups, whose members are drawn from some of the best known Black and Extreme Metal bands on the scene.

For ENEPSIGOS, the frontman has managed to snare the talents of fellow countryman and former SARKOM guitarist Straff,  along with Italian drummer Thorns, known for his work with BLUT AUS NORD, DEATHROW, FIDES INVERSA, FROSTMOON ECLISPE and DARVAZA, to name but a few.  Together  the trio have created a band with its roots firmly embedded in the traditions of early Black Metal to produce music that is dark and brutal, and with more than a touch of the ritualistic about it.

Nobody knows who the Norwegian vocalist behind some of the most talked about new Black and Extreme Metal bands to emerge over the last year is, but one thing is sure, he has an uncanny knack of being able to bring together talented musicians from well known, established bands, and give them the impetus to  create new projects. Projects that have allowed the individual musicians to bring their experience and different disciplines together to form bands that, whilst helmed by the same individual, are totally different one from the other.  Furthermore, in a saturated market, they are bands that  get snapped up by labels in very short order.

With NORDJEVEL and SVARTELDER having already released critically acclaimed albums on Osmose Productions and Dusktone respectively, and with DOEDSVANGR currently considering various recording offers, ENEPSIGOS,  the latest project of this shadowy individual,  has attracted interest from labels purely on the strength of two raw demo tracks, and the band has just agreed a deal with the French label Drakkar Productions for the release of their debut album.

Having eschewed his stage name of Doedsadmiral, in favour of V.I.T.H.R, for his work with ENEPSIGOS, the mysterious vocalist has called upon the talents of fellow countryman and former SARKOM guitarist Straff and Italian drummer Thorns known for his work with BLUT AUS NORD, DEATHROW, FIDES INVERSA, FROSTMOON ECLISPE and DARVAZA, to name but a few.  Together they have created a band that is dark and brutal, and whose roots in the traditions of early Black Metal are unmistakable.

Because it’s easy to talk about what a band is going to sound  like, but in reality it’s impossible for fans to form any kind of idea about a band without actually hearing any music, ENEPSIGOS have uploaded a ROUGH STUDIO MIX of the title track from their upcoming album “Plague of Plagues” and it can be heard below and at https://soundcloud.com/enepsigos-official/plague-of-plagues

Norwegian vocalist Doedsadmiral seems to have a magic touch when it comes to attracting some of the top Black and Extreme Metal musicians and forming them into new bands.   With his bands NORDJEVEL (which includes current and former members of MARDUK, RAGNAROK, FATAL IMPACT, TVANGESTE and BYRDI),  and SVARTELDER (with current and former members of CARPATHIAN FOREST,  IN THE WOODS, DEN SAAKALDTE, PANTHEON I and OLD FOREST) being snapped up instantly by labels , and with debut albums that have taken the Black Metal sector by storm, the somewhat mysterious frontman has done it again with the formation of DOEDSVANGR.

Joining him in DOEDSVANGR’s  lineup is Shatraug (HORNA, SARGEIST, BEHEXEN and NIGHTBRINGER) on guitars,  and Anti-Christian (TSJUDER,  BEATEN TO DEATH) on drums,  and the band has already finished writing their debut album and is now ready to enter the Klang Studios in Oslo with producer  Bjarne Stensli, who will record, mix and master it.    According to DOEDSVANGR, the album, which will be titled “Satan Ov Suns”,  is a “very dark work, very  evil and with extreme variations, but with a lot of groove”.

DOEDSVANGR, who are currently looking for a label, have posted a rough demo track to give fans an idea of what to expect from the band, and it can be heard below and at https://soundcloud.com/doedsvangrofficial/black-sun-nimbus

Recorded in Norway at the Woodscave Studio. and mastered by WSL Studio in France,   “Pyres” is the follow up to SVARTELDER’s  “Askebundet” EP, which hit the streets last year, also on Dusktone.

Aside from founder and frontman Doedsadmiral SVARTELDER’s lineup comprises of Maletoth on bass and guitars, AK-47 on drums, and Kobold on keys.  There is no doubt that the band’s sound  is firmly rooted in black metal, but SVARTELDER’s strength lies in the fact that not only is its lineup vastly experienced, it is also able to draw that experience from a variety of different musical backgrounds and influences.  And this is something that allows the band to mix different elements together, bringing a fresher, more varied,  approach  to the overall sound.

More information about SVARTELDER can be found on the band’s Facebook page at  https://www.facebook.com/Svartelder

The CD version of SVARTELDER’s 2015 EP “Askebunded”  is available from https://dusktone.bandcamp.com/album/svartelder-askebundet-dusk029cd whilst the digital version is available from http://svartelder.bandcamp.com/album/askebundet-ep  .

Svartelder Dusktone PR

 

Originally formed several years ago by frontman Doedsadmiral (NORDJEVEL, DOEDSVANGR),  Norwegian Black Metallers SVARTELDER have hit the ground running after a lengthy hiatus.  With a freshly inked two-album deal with the Dusktone label, and with a new lineup that includes members of CARPATHIAN FOREST, IN THE WOODS, DEN SAAKALDTE, PANTHEON I and OLD FOREST, SVARTELDER are gearing up to bring their particular take on Norwegian Black Metal  to a wider audience.

As well as the two full-length albums, the first of which is set to appear in early 2016, Dusktone will also physically release the band’s “Askebundet” EP, which has so far only appeared in digital format.  The CD version will include an additional bonus track that is not available on the three-track digital version, and will hit the streets later this year.

Aside from Doedsadmiral on vocals, SVARTELDER’s new lineup is comprised of Maletoth on bass and guitars, AK-47 on drums, and Kobold on keys.  The inclusion of these highly skilled and experienced musicians  into SVARTELDER’s ranks  has expanded the band’s original sound, which is firmly rooted in Norwegian Black Metal, into something much more fresh and varied, with each member bring with them  their own set of influences and a variety of different elements.

It’s no mystery as to where the musicians come from, but who each individual musician actually is still remains a mystery to some.  “We really did want to be judged on our output with SVARTELDER as opposed to being compared to the various members’ previous work,” explains Doedsadmiral.  “To that end most of the band members have used different names, but from what we have seen on the internet  and the messages we’re receiving, most people are already guessing who it is that’s doing what!”

The band is currently working on their debut full-length album and more  information about SVARTELDER can be found on the band’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Svartelder

The track “Ingen Vet Jeg Var…”  can be heard below and on the band’s BandCamp page at https://svartelder.bandcamp.com/track/ingen-vet-jeg-var
