0 NEWS: NORDHEIM Launch Indiegogo For “RapThor”, An Album About Bacon And Dinosaurs

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – June 21, 2017

For fans of Moonsorrow, Finntroll, Windir, Equilibrium, Ensiferum, Kalmah, Wintersun

Quebec Folk Metal NORDHEIM Launch Indiegogo For “RapThor”, An Album About Bacon And Dinosaurs

     Influenced by bands such as Finntroll, Ensiferum, Kalmah and Wintersun, Quebec folk metal NORDHEIM have launched an indiegogo campaign for their forthcoming album entitled “RapThor” to follow their two previous releases “Refill” (2013) and debut “Lost In The North” (2011). Featuring eight tracks with titles such as “Troll Riding A Raptor”, “Boobs And Bacon” and “Dragonthorn”, this third studio recording is dedicated to the epic flavour of bacon, the colossus power of dinosaurs and more.

The band comments:

“‘We want to give the fans one of the heaviest and nastiest folk metal albums to date with ‘RapThor’. It is different from our first two. We had great feedback when we played the songs live. This album is the heaviest of them all while cutting back on the European folklore influences. It’s the result of our hard work over the last few years. It is super-heavy party music!”

NORDHEIM are offering various perks and bundles through their Indiegogo campaign to meet their goal of $3,500 for “RapThor”, which can be found at the following link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/rapthor-metal#/

The band has also posted a video message for the campaign at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reFUtNY1K5U


1. Troll Riding A Raptor
2. Boobs And Bacon
3. Scroll Of Lightning Bolt
4. Black Witch Rises
5. I Wish You Were Beer
6. Strength Became The Storm
7. Blood’s Shade
8. Dragonthorn

NORDHEIM is:
Warraxe – Guitars, Vocals
Benfok – Bass, Vocals
Fred – Lead Guitars
Luke – Drums

 

About:

So many bands make listeners choke from their sheer delusional pretentions of grandeur. Not Nordheim, their philosophy is simply to make fun folk metal, as can be evidenced by titles such as ‘Boobs and Bacon’ and ‘I Wish You Were A Beer’!

Inspired by Wintersun, Windir, Finntroll, Equillbrium, and Carcass, guitarist and singer, and main songwriter Warraxe describes Nordheim’s sound as ‘fast, heavy, festive, cold, and catchy!’

Warraxe explains that Nordheim are truly a band of brothers. ‘We are a bunch of guys from Bellechasse, a small region south of the St-Laurent River in the province of Quebec. We were long-time friends and have metal as a common passion, one thing leads to another and we started a band.’

Live Nordheim really show their sense of fun. “When we play live it’s a frickin’ party! We move a lot, scream, hump the air, we drink from the fans’ beer bottles and in turn, we feed them beer, with the help of our friends and roadies coming up on stage and pouring beer in their faces. Usually between songs I’ll be making jokes about anything I can think of, as long as it’s dumb and incoherent! We have a strong sense of ‘bro-ness’ with our fans!”

0 MUEN Mag – “W.H.A.T.S.T.H.A.T.” by Mutank, where punk meets thrash!

  • June 20, 2017
  • by Asher
  • · MUTANK

“W.H.A.T.S.T.H.A.T.” is one of those records that you seem a band jamming out in their garage and eventually an audience just gathers because their thrash, punk, and a bit of tongue-in-cheek causes the listener to pay attention to what Mutank has to say.

They have a lot of thrashing songs that have abbreviated titles, and they kick some serious ass with their old school music and hardcore attitude.

0 We Love Metal Reviews: Divinity – The Immortalist

https://www.welovemetal.com/newsite/wordpress/2017/06/11/wlm-reviews-divinity-the-immortalist/

Divinity is quite the find. The amazing power of the interwebs once again gives me (and perhaps you) another talented band deserving to be heard. Although The Immortalist isn’t exactly all new, it’s a fantastic roll up of what this band has been up to over the last few years. The Immortalist is highly recommended.
