Stigma was formed 1999 by Stig Rune Robertsen basically as a "one man band" and released a self titled album before Endre Hindhammer joined the band.
He was a bass-player Stig had known for years.
In 1995 they played in a band called "Paranoia"
In the summer of 2000 the album "Solitude" was released.
In 2001 they re-located to Trondheim where they started as a band with Ola Nordal on guitars and Gunulf Vaule Staurheim on drums.
Unfortuenetly the band split up before recording anything.
Stigma was dead...
In 2004 Stig and Endre established the band again with Marius Skaugen on drums and Erling Solbu on guitar.
They released the demo "Losses"
Erling Solbu was later replaced by Ole-Andreas Hammer.
In the spring of 2005 Marius and Hammer focused on their other bands Bulwark and Appetite for destruction
Stigma released a live album in January, 2005 called "Live in solitude".
It was recorded july, 2000 in Heggem.
This is actually the only show Stigma has ever played, so why not release it?!
Stig and Endre started writing new material for the album "The failure of me" an idea Stig had for years.
It was recorded from june to December and was released 24. December, 2005.
this is their best album so far. |
