BIOGRAPHY/LOGO
It is well known that the frostbitten north of Scandinavia is home to countless metal bands. Considering its small population, Norway has given the world an extraordinary amount of quality heavy music over the last three decades. Of course, it probably goes without saying that black metal remains its most famous musical export. But there is more to the country than just frosty riffs and corpsepaint, or skiing, viking landmarks and breathtaking fjords.
From the south eastern part of Norway comes the band MELTDOWN. In an area known for its cultural and industrial history, the band sounds just like this: tons of heavy riffs, crashing drums, thunderous vocals that is hard-hitting and bone-crushing metal. A Norwegian backbone, for sure.
MELTDOWN is five guys that brings a wide variety of influences to the music. The band combines several styles. The basis is tough and punchy metal with a nice mix of everything from metalcore to classic heavy metal.
One of the advantages is two great vocalists so the metalcore approach can be mixed with clean vocals. From the start we have taken this band our way and are not going to think about what the flavor of the month is, or to fit in this or that specific genre, subgenre or trend.
We do exactly whatever we want to do with our music and our approach is very simple: is it good or not? The debut album “Answers” came together from two years of fun and a few various members. As it often is with new bands. The songs were moulded by the entire band, and also recorded and produced by the band.
Vocalist Pat did a great job as an engineer and mixed the album. After the recording of the album co-founder and drummer Fredrik Johannessen decided to quit the band. Robin Fagerland switched from bass to drums and Morten Nilsen was recruited on bass.
