The 3rd Attempt Announces New Vocalist Kaahrl Ødemark

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."
