NORSK URSKOG Underground Metal Sampler 2019 is proud to present the cover of this year’s CD.
Norwegian Underground Metal Sampler
Norsk Urskog is a volunteer based project aiming to support and promote young Norwegian underground bands within the metal genre and this is done via its website, the social media and a CD sampler distributed at the Inferno Metal Festival in Oslo, Norway - and possibly at other festivals where Inferno is present.
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.

The master for the Norsk Urskog Underground Metal Sampler 2019 is done, and has been sent to manufacturing!
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!
Norsk Urskog was featured on the latest edition of the Discover Norway podcast, a podcast dedicated to discovering and promoting new norwegian metal. A pretty perfect match, since that’s exactly what Norsk Urskog is about too! A big thanks to Kristoffer for promoting the bands on the podcast! Take a listen to the podcast below, or check out their channel on youtube.
Here’s a few shots from our release party at Sentralen, Oslo, april 7!
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.
We are thrilled to announce that I Swear Damnation (Hokksund, Norway) will do their first ever public performance at our release party for Norsk Urskog Metal Sampler vol. VI. Though the band is reasonably fresh, we’re talkning about people with several years of experience from other bands such as Funeral, Silent Vanquish and Mindgrinder.
Norsk Urskog Metal Sampler Vol VI, 2017 is finally sent off to the production plant! Above is a screenshot of the loudness graph of the master.
