h33t - [REQ] Keep Of Kalessin - 2008 - Kolossus [rockbox]

The fury has been building for years, Obsidian C. and his crew, has since the
very beginning constantly worked hard, building the band's name brick by
brick. From the flame was lit back in the mid nineties, it has taken Keep Of
Kalessin over ten years of dedication and hard work to get them where they
are today.

Formed back in 1994 under the name of Ildskjaer, the band immediately caught
the attention from several labels with their demo recording "Skygger av sorg"
û which directly resulted in two albums ("Through Times of War" & "Agnen"

released under the wings of the Italian label Avantgarde Music. Due to
personal issues the original line-up of the band split up in 2000, but
guitarist, composer and mainman Obsidian C. had set his goals for the band
and was determined to continue composing material for a future release.
Obsidian C's guitar services was hired by Satyricon in 2003 and countless
gigs and tours was the main focus for over a year. All the touring made also
room and time for composing and when Satyricon's drummer Frost heard the new
material Obsidian C was working on, he immediately recruit when he was asked
to do the drums on the EP already in the pipeline. The vocals was done by
none other than the legendary Attila Csihar (Mayhem). When the EP entitled
Reclaim was released in 2004, it was a small appetizer of things to come from
Keep Of Kalessin. With it's ultra-fast riffing, brutal, but still very
melodic and epic song structures, Reclaim detonated in the metal press and
media like a bomb. This also marked a whole new era for the band and was the
first introduction to the group's new sound and trademark; Epic Extreme
Metal.

With touring as one of the band's main priorities, Obsidian C. recruited full
time members Vyl (drums), Wizziac (bass) and Thebon (vocals). Their next
album, Armada, was an immense epic masterpiece with its very own unique
atmosphere. Press-wise, Armada received standing ovations from a unison press
chore. Keep of Kalessin immediately set their ship towards the European
shores and did four European tours with Exodus, Hypocrisy, Carpathian Forest,
Satyricon and Enslaved in the aftermath of the album release.

The new album is entitled "Kolossus" and is anticipated to have a huge impact
on the whole metal scene. Recorded in the band's own studio in Trondheim,
Kolossus is a natural descendant of Armada, and perfectly reflects the unique
musical craftsmanship and the undisputable power of the band. All songs
featured on the album are recorded without any clipping or copy/paste
technique and all instruments are done in real time. Expect nothing less than
an organic masterpiece The base of the music has still clear references to
Black Metal, but the band also includes other influences like Death Metal,
Thrash Metal and non-metal components, making their style fresh and truly
unique. KEEP OF KALESSIN will soon be one of the main driving forces in
extreme Metal and is definitely one of THE bands to watch in 2008.

Keep Of Kalessin will be part of "The Invaluable Darkness Tour Part 2 û
Legions Of The Chosen Few" through North America along with DIMMU BORGIR and
BEHEMOTH û starting in April. An extensive European Tour is already in the
planning.

KEEP OF KALESSIN will prevail!
