The main goal is to showcase the participating bands to an international audience, giving the less known quality music a chance to be heard by a wide variety of people and allowing them to discover new favorites from all over Norway. We want to offer the hard working bands an opportunity to be heard, judged and, as much as possible, seen - since Norsk Urskog’s collaboration with Inferno Festival also involves an own scene for concerts where selected bands from each release are given an opportunity to perform live.

We are incredibly happy that Rob Mules Records is helping us with this years release of the Norsk Urskog Underground Metal Sampler! Quite a fresh star on the record label arena - Rob Mules Records turned on their amps in 2017, but have already gathered a nice collection of great and interesting norwegian bands. And with several bands previously on Norsk Urskog among their releases, we’re certain that they will be a great partner for us going forward!

Lineup complete for releaseparty

Finally we can reveal the final band for the release party of Norsk Urskog Metal Sampler 2017: Devar from Bergen is a band that’s not afraid to make it’s own path. Their unique sound inspired by everything from black metal to old prog, should make for an interesting performance we think. This evening they will do their first performance in seven years, and release their first single “House of Bones” from their upcoming release later this year. They have previously toured with the death metal legends Master among others.
