It has been way too long since the last Norsk Urskog episode, so I thought it was beyond reasonable that I should bother the wonderful people of the Symphonium metal show again. This episode presents new (and some old) underground bands from both Norway and elsewhere. We get to hear from recent releases of Slaamaskin, Born With Worms Inside, Infernal, Horrifier and Crime Zone, while also checking in on some older releases from Transgressive and Bloodscorn.

This episode was first aired on August 23, 2026 as a segment in the Symphonium metal radio show.

Harald visited the Symphonium radio show on August 17, 2025, and presented a small selection of Norwegian underground bands. He even included a few cool bands from outside of Norway, and that's something we will continue to do in these broadcasts. The underground is, and has always, been international.

We're back, but in a different form than before.

For those who don't know, Norsk Urskog started as a project to promote underground metal bands from Norway at the Inferno Metal Festival in Oslo. We did this by producing a compilation CD which was funded by the bands themselved. This worked well for many years, but the world has moved on, and with less interest for physical CDs the project was eventually laid dormant.
