At the end of the year 2017, we decided to gather this crazy collection of good friends and musicians who all share the same passion for powerful music. After years in various bands and projects, we finally had the time and effort to work and create a group together.

We decided to call this band SECRET CHAPTER!

As the year 2018 went by, many hours were spent to rewrite, record, produce and finalize old songs that were mostly written but now has brand new and exciting clothes.

We decided to name our first album, “CHAPTER ONE”!

Working together with Andy LaRocque (King Diamond) at Sonic Train Studios, who did a fantastic job co-producing, mixing and mastering for us, we couldn’t be happier with the result!

At this point, we are stoked, excited, and looking forward to showing you what’s within the secret chapter!

«All that remains then is to wish them good luck, Fear Theories is a delightful bunch of youths who shine on stage and give you everything they got. If you get the chance to see them live it’s nothing to even think about or consider. The future of heavy metal is in good hands!»

- Leif Neverdahl, Scream Magazine 186

Fall of 2010 on rainy Karmøy a new chapter in Norwegian heavy metal started. 4 young passionate musicians united and formed Fear Theories. With a modern view on classic heavy metal, it didn't take long for people to notice. May 2013 Fear Theories released their debut EP So it Begins and played Karmøygeddon Metal Festival 2013 with acts such as Sabaton, Eluveitie, Overkill and Paradise Lost. Within minutes a bunch of youths had ignited the atmosphere and shot it straight through the roof. Magazines such as Scream Magazine and Heavymetal.no immediately took notice and was full of praise in the aftermath of the performance. Following year Fear Theories started working on what would turn out to be their debut album The Predator and continued to play live on a regular basis. Including a small Norwegian tour along with Art of Deception and Cretura. In 2015 Fear Theories ventured into unknown land on a two-week long tour through Eastern Europe (Slovakia and Czech Republic) before heading into Studio Borealis with Frode Glesnes (Einherjer) recording and mixing the album. The album was mastered in Orgone Studios by Jaime Gomez. Furthermore, Fear Theories will start 2016 by playing Beinkaldt under the auspices of Brynerocken, before heading to Norway Rock Festival in July 2016.

Vingulmork play aggressive metal. The band started in 2013 and has delivered intense shows, released well-received EPs and albums and basically had a good time ever since. In 2019 the band will release another EP and focus on playing more concerts than ever – with an appearance at the Inferno Metal Festival as the highlight. Vingulmork has often been compared to bands like Dissection and Old Man’s Child, with a strong emphasis on the contrast between melody and aggression.

With a raw, true and honest sound, Arkentype is a breath of fresh air in a rather stagnant scene of modernized metal. With great passion expressed through heavy and technical rhythmic patterns, blended with beautiful melodic and symphonic passages, Arkentype will leave you battered on the floor wondering what knocked your teeth out.

Genre-wise their music is best described as Progressive Metal, but the band themselves does not see this as a limit and goes way outside the genre. Mixing the “new” progressive metal sound with their personal influences and experiences is what makes Arkentype a truly unique band.

Based at the music conservatory by the University in Agder (Norway), Arkentype produced, recorded and made the album Disorientated by themselves. Then sending it to Daniel Bergstrand and George Nerantzis (Meshuggah, In Flames ++) at Dug Out Productions in Sweden for mixing and mastering.

The band has built quite a hype for themselves in the Norwegian underground. After releasing just small video clips and photos during the recording of their album Disorientated, they were booked to the metal festival Southern Discomfort. With the release of the music video for the single Ashes and Dirt, the band's journey for world domination has begun.

Killing Gandhi was founded by Martin Arendal and Kasper Gram in 2011, after testing their musical skills with Manticora, Wuthering Heights, Evil Masquerade and Ureas for ten+ years. Their debut album Cinematic Parallels began to take shape in the spring of 2013, after joining forces with Thorbjørn Jensen (ex. Sickseed) and Rasmus Schmidt (Illdisposed, ex. Corpus Mortale). Cinematic Parallels is their version of the scandi metal sound, with inspiration from bands like In Flames, Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir, Soilwork among others on the Heavy Metal scene, and Medina, Robyn and Daft Punk on the more commercial scene. This gives Killing Gandhi’s sound a good mixture of short, effective and catchy songs. Cinematic Parallels is mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe, Pretty Maids, TÝR, Evergrey a.o).

Blodsmak is a Norwegian folkcore band, playing heavy rock with a generous sprinkling of Norwegian folk music.

Building on the folk metal tradition of Lumsk, Gåte, Glittertind, they are heavier and less metal, combining their thunderous grooves and insistent riffs with almost proglike elements and a melodic sensibility reminiscent of both introvert grunge and 80’s shameless stadium rock.

Their first album Av jord er me komne released in 2014, delves into themes of addiction, love lost, death, longing, and redemption. Although the subject matter is dark, the songs themselves, albeit heavy, incorporates almost popish hooks and choruses.

Check out their release Gjennom marg og bein now!
