Seven Impale was started in 2010 by Vocalist and guitarist Stian Økland. Soon Fredrik Mekki Widerøe joined on guitar alongside some former members before he took place behind the the drum set. Soon Tormod Fosso (First only cello and eventually also on bass) and Fredrik's younger brother Benjamin Mekki Widerøe joined on the saxophone. At the end of the summer of (No, not '69) 2010 Seven Impale was joined by Håkon Vinje on keys and Erlend Vottvik Olsen on guitar. After a couple of years with experimenting and defining the Seven Impale sound the band was picked up by the norwegian record company Karisma (hosting bands like Airbag, Brimstone, Tiebreaker, D'accord and Shaman Elephant) after a successful showcase concert. Seven Impale released the EP "Begining/Relieve" in April 2013 and their critically acclaimed debut album "City of the Sun" in September 2014. Their second full lenght studio album will be released this fall. Official page of Norwegian prog rock group Seven Impale http://www.soundcloud.com/sevenimpale
