Hailz!
We are three guys from Sortland in northern Norway the have been playing together for about 1 year now. Our band is called Iskald and we play a mixture of melodic black/thrash metal.
In the beginning of January 2005 we came together for the first time. Then we where all set to play black metal, music that didn’t exist in our area.
Since then we have been working hard trying to impress others with our music. Our first recording was a demo recorded in early 2005. We did that demo all by ourselves using some equipment from a friend of us. It turned up okay in the end, and we actually got a couple of great reviews.
After that demo we decided to work hard with new songs and play as much live as we could afford. During that period, March to June, we did 5 local concerts and wrote 6 new songs.
When the summer came our bass player had to leave us because of his studies. We also lost our rehearsal room at that time. The future of the band was really unclear at this point and we didn’t manage to practise for about 2 months. But then, in August, we finally meet our new bass player. He was really into this kind of music and was a perfect fit.
In December 2005 we where ready to enter the studio to record our first EP called Northern Twilight. This time we did everything in a professional way. The cover design is for example made by a designer that also created a new website for us because of the EP.
n the beginning of February 2006 we received the EP; which has been limited to 400 copies. The result came of extremely well we think and the reviews so far had been very positive. We are currently also working on a music video from the EP. |
