Blastfest 2016 Finalizes Lineup
It's been months in the making, but the schedule for Blastfest 2016 is complete. Now in its third year, the Bergen festival has not only put together yet another incredible lineup, but also one in which will be a one-time-only celebration of the Norwegian scene.
A 100% Norwegian lineup, which includes the likes of Abbath, Arcturus, Taake, 1349, Gorgoroth and even some rare appearances from the likes of Green Carnation. Blastfest 2016 will be a truly memorable occasion, with chief and owner Yngve Christiansen comments:
"2016 will be a very special festival edition with a lineup consisting solely of Norwegian bands. The bands represented at Blastfest are the legends, those from the beginning, the ones who made it evolve... the ones who disappeared... the ones who never stopped... the ones whom you should have heard more about... and the ones you will hear about. We have done our best to make a strong lineup representing Norway in the best possible way." More...
The 3rd Attempt Issues Studio Report
Work on the debut full-length album from The 3rd Attempt, which is set to be released on Dark Essence Records later this year, is progressing as the band entered Sanden Studio in Kristiansand on April 17th.

Formed late last year by former Carpathian Forest guitarists Tchort and BloodPervertor, The 3rd Attempt's lineup includes Kaahrl Ødemark on vocals and Tybalt on drums. More...
The 3rd Attempt Entering The Studio
Former Carpathian Forest guitarists Tchort and Bloodpervertor certainly hit the ground running when they formed their new band The 3rd Attempt.
In under a year they have managed to audition musicians and get themselves a fully rehearsed lineup which made its live debut at one of Norway’s biggest festivals, sifted through a selection of offers from labels before settling on Dark Essence Records, and have written and prepared all the material for their debut full-length album.
April 17th will see The 3rd Attempt enter the Dub Studio in Oslo, to begin recording a new album with producer Endre Kirkesola.
“We are really looking forward to begin recording the album,” commented guitarist Tchort. “The whole process of setting up the band and getting on stage for the first time with The 3rd Attempt has been a real boost, not just in terms of creativity, but also in terms of a renewed enthusiasm for performing. It was a boost we had really been in dire need of over the past few years.” More...
The 3rd Attempt Recruits New Drummer
With the band’s debut live appearance coming up at Blastfest in February, it was announced today that Tybalt (Fortid, Ethereal Forest, Den Saakaldte) will be joining The 3rd Attempt on drums.
Tybalt originally came on board as a session drummer for the Blastfest appearance, but after taking part in rehearsals, it was decided that he would join the band on a full-time basis.
Formed last year by former Carpathian Forest guitarists Tchort and BloodPervertor, The 3rd Attempt also recently announced new front man, former Midnattsvrede and Necrocave vocalist Kaahrl Ødemark, who was selected following online auditions that drew in submissions from applicants from all over the world.
Currently mulling over several approaches from record labels, The 3rd Attempt recently debuted a demo track “The Beast Within,” which also features Carpathian Forest’s Daniel Vrangsinn on bass and Anders Kobro on drums. More...
The 3rd Attempt Announces New Vocalist
Shortly after announcing the formation of new band The 3rd Attempt earlier this year and their departure from Carpathian Forest, guitarists Tchort and BloodPervertor went on to reveal that they were holding online auditions for the position of vocalist for the new project.
As was to be expected when guitarists who had played with some of the biggest and most iconic Norwegian bands advertised for a front man, the resulting flood of applications was sizeable, so much so, in fact, that it has taken 4 months to listen to all the auditions and come to a decision.
Commenting on the process Tchort said, “We were blown away, not only by the quantity of submissions we received, but also by the quality. Those sending in auditions were given the option of making them public or keeping them private, so what you saw posted on the band’s Facebook page was only the tip of the iceberg of what we had to assess.
"It took us a long time because we felt that everyone who sent in their demos deserved all the attention we could give them, and we would like to thank all the extraordinarily talented musicians who took part.
"It was a difficult choice but in the end we opted for former Midnattsvrede and Necrocave vocalist Kaahrl Ødemark because his delivery and attitude were very much in keeping with what we had in mind for The 3rd Attempt. We have put together a demo of a track with Kaahrl on vocals as a way of introducing him to everyone. The track 'The Beast Within, 'which also features Carpathian Forest's Daniel Vrangsinn on bass and Anders Kobro on drums, can be heard below." More...
