Since rising to prominence with
his first band Trelldom, legendary singer, front man, artist and composer,
Gaahl, has been one of Norway’s most talked about and respected extreme metal
musicians. His work with Trelldom, Gorgoroth and God Seed has been widely
regarded as some of the best the black metal scene has had to
offer. Gaahls passion and dedication to his art has earned him followers far and beyond the realms of the metal community, becoming a household name in the art scene and a he has become a well-respected alternative thinker. In 2015 the charismatic singer assembled some of Norway’s finest metal musicians under the new moniker Gaahls WYRD. The band consisted of Ole Walaunet (The Batallion, God Seed, Grimfist), Frode Kilvik (Krakow, Aeternus), Sir (Trelldom, Djerv, God Seed) and Bård Kolstad (Leprous, Borknagar). The band’s first show was an appearance at the one-off festival BlekkMetal, held in Bergen, Norway the same year. The show was recorded for the live EP “Nov. 15”, released by the band in 2017. The EP was celebrated during the bands two European runs “Vardøger 2017” and “Vardøger” 2018. Bård Kolstad was replaced by Kevin Kvåle (Horizon Ablaze) in the 2nd half of 2017 and Kårstad stepped out of the band after the first leg of the “Vardøger” tour. In mid 2018 the band teamed up with producer Iver Sandøy (Enslaved, Emmerhoff & the Melancholy Babies) to record their first full-length album “GastiR – Ghosts Invited”, set to be released by Season of Mist (World) and Indie Recordings (Norway) on May 31st. The highly anticipated debut album from Gaahls WYRD will see the band chart territories within the extreme metal genre no one has ever walked before. http://gaahlswyrd.com https://www.facebook.com/gaahlswyrd https://www.instagram.com/gaahlswyrd Tour artwork / merch design: Vatavu Victor Line-up Gaahl (Kristian Espedal) – vocals Lust Kilman (Ole Walaunet) – guitars Eld (Frode Kilvik) – Bass Spektre (Kevin Kvåle) – Drums |
