NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – November 8, 2017

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

NORDHEIM Premiere New Track “I Wish You Were Beer” via New Noise Mag

New Album About Bacon And Dinosaurs “RapThor” Out Nov 24th

     So many bands make listeners choke from their sheer delusional pretentions of grandeur. Not Quebec City’s NORDHEIM, their philosophy is simply to make fun folk metal, as can be evidenced in their latest offering “RapThor” due out November 24th, 2017. Influenced by bands such as Finntroll, Ensiferum, Kalmah and Wintersun, NORDHEIM‘s third studio recording featuring eight tracks with titles such as “Troll Riding A Raptor”, “Boobs And Bacon” and “Dragonthorn” is dedicated to the epic flavour of bacon, the colossus power of dinosaurs and more.

“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!” says Warraxe.

Teaming up with New Noise Magazine, the band is premiering their first single “I Wish You Were Beer”.

Warraxe adds.

“You know the feeling you get when you are impaling a busty T-Rex with your giant throbbing errecsword while lightning strikes you and transforms your hand into a fucking laser-cobra? Well this song isn’t close to that but it’s still pretty good.”

Listen to the track at the following link: http://newnoisemagazine.com/stream-nordheim-wish-beer/ 

NORDHEIM launched an Indigogo campaign offering various perks and bundles 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

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!”

Nordheim – Rapthor (2017)

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

Label: Self-Release

“With an album entitled RapThor, these Canadians certainly had my attention. The record turned out to be a hell of a ride through a mystical folk metal world complete with a “Troll Riding a Raptor,” “Boobs and Bacon,” and a track called “I Wish You Were Beer.” There’s a chance these guys are a tad tongue in cheek. Fun record.” – Metal Injection

“purveyors of fine folk metal” – PureGrainAudio

“The band puts it straight: the more beer, the better. Songs like ‘I Wish You Were Beer’ and ‘Boobs And Bacon’ are danceable drinking songs in the vein of Alestorm and Korpiklaani.” – Lords of Metal

” The album, which they released independently, starts with Troll Riding a Raptor a fast and heavy song that really is a kick to the head. The song is a great opener for the album.” Grimm Gent

“I certainly recommend sitting down with a good beverage of your choice and enjoy the boozy, epic, sometimes goofy, but ultimately FUN romp that is Rapthor…will leave you more than satisfied with a great big smile on your face.” – Overdrive Mag

“I might just be crowning the king of the bogs this year with the latest from Canada’s Nordheim…“RapThor” has 8 face smashing tracks in its 40 minutes of playing time. Let your melo-death juices flow as you get pulverized by track after relentless track, fueled by booze and chicks…A triumphant return for Nordheim and an end of the year stocking stuffer for album of the year candidate if I ever saw one… season’s greetings.” – Folk-Metal.nl

“From the very get go, the album packs that punch and releases an infinite energy that vaguely recalls the fastest of Black Metal bands. All the while there’s a subtle folk symph to their battle cries. RapThor feels excited to be here. The clean vocal chants of ‘Troll Riding a Raptor’ have easy hooks and feel fitting amongst the rest of the battling music. The shocking speed of each song dangerously thrusts you from song to song, a great example being ‘Scroll of a Lightning Bolt’ which deliciously speeds through its riffs.” – Noizze UK

“This is a fun folk metal album with titles like ‘Boobs And Bacon’ or ‘I Wish You Were Beer’. I guess all you can do is join the party, grab a beer and scream along with these tunes, just like you do when you listen to bands like Ensiferum, Finntroll or Korpiklaani.” – Merchants of Air

“Although this album has stepped up and introduced a heavier side, it’s still fast, and catchy. Guaranteed you’ll be partying by the end of it… and whats more of a party then dinosaurs and beer?” – Canadian Beats 

“Finally, the four years of waiting have been worth it. The album in its entirety contains no flaws, eight songs of quality and strongly built. ” – Quebec Metal
