Slogstorm

The Northernmost Death Metal band in the world"... Formed Summer 2003 by Martin Hykkerud and lyricist Ørjan Gamst. Main composer Kim Andreassen and Tage guddingsmo joined on guitar and bass respectively. This lineup announced (but apparently never released) a four-song demo with the hilarious title 'Panzernaust', supposed to contain the tracks "Kadaver i nota", "Kald natt med Draugen", "Tran av barn" and "Møljefest i hælvette". Tage switched to guitar after Raymond joined on bass in 2004. Karl Øystein replaced Martin the same year, and this line-up recorded the Svart hav demo, on the strength of which they were invited to the Inferno festival in 2005. Davis Aronsen (who knew Kim from joint mid-90's black metal project Myr) replaced Raymond Olufsen in January 2005. The new line-up proved stable enough to record the next two demos named: "Smidd av kulde", and: "Draugens ætt". January 2007 Karl øystein returned to vocal duties for his former band Sorg and his one man project Molluscum, and was replaced by Hordes/The Madness Within sticksman Gøran Johansen. March 2007 also saw Slogstorm featured on the soundtrack to cult movie Kill Buljo, and both Ørjan and Martin star in the movie! In October 2007 the band undertook recordings for their debut album. By late April 2008 work on the album was almost finished (bar vocals), at which time Tage decided to leave the band. David switched back to his original instrument, guitar, and the band recruited Nocturnal Breed guitarist Eivind Berre as their new bassist in July. Kim re-recorded the guitar parts the same month. The album was uploaded to MySpace in August 2009, and was never released in physical format. Eivind then left the band, and in comes the young, technical bassplayer Christoffer Sjursen. 2012 we released the album "Draugfødt" with a new cover design out on Spotify. This year we decided to part ways with Ørjan as our vocalist. August 2013, we got a new growler in the band. This was long time friend Kristian Evjen Svenning, who also has been a fan of the band since the very start of the band 10 years back. He immediately started to writing new lyrics, and did vocal on several songs. And it sounded awesome. Summer of 2014, we parted ways with David Aronsen. And In as a new guitarplayer we got Ivan Knutsen from Hordes/ madness within. The band is now complete, and appears stronger then ever before. "The northernmost Death Metal band in the world"
