VAGINA DENTATA
The Wit and Wisdom of Årabrot 

Rock’n’roll was long dead before Johnny Rotten picked up a microphone.
And a long time buried by the time Oasis chose to molest its putrid carcass.
But the spirit of whence it came still lives on in the blood of those who know its true meaning, symbols and references.

Born of the long dark winters of Norway, Årabrot was too black for metal and too avant-garde for punk, so it forged its own path. 
Hewn from empty roads and the cold impenetrable depths of the fiords of its home.
A Norwegian Gothic, tales sung and stories told in screams and whispers.

With its steel guitar, a steely gaze, a sneer and a Stetson, Årabrot is the bastard offspring of Billie Holiday and Elmore James. It is The Velvet Underground if Johnny Cash was a member and Nico was able to sing. 
It is Camus, Sartre, Poe and Burroughs cut-up and regurgitated in an unholy erotic mass. It is all the great bands you haven’t even heard of. It is you.
It is here, it is now and there are other bodies to bury. Årabrot is not fucking around.

Årabrot is Kjetil “Tall Man” Nernes and Karin “Dark Diva” Park. They live in the Swedish countryside with their two children in the old church that they own. Rock’n roll is their religion.
Biography by Lustmord

After 7 appreciated US Tours, with +100 gigs in Scandinavia and the US, Tour with Paradise Lost in 2013 and 2018, airtime in Swedish and American Radio and various endorsements deals OUTSHINE released their latest album “Prelude To Descent” 2013 and the single "Agony" 2014 the band is now ready for the next chapter. Unfortunately the recordings and release of the new album "1313" was a complete disaster from the start. It was released February 2018 but had to be revoked in June 2018 due to major issues with the hired singer on the album. "Unfortunate, but it made me come to the conclusion that the only way forward is the handle the vocals myself. lyrics and music has such great meaning and are very political. If you are mocking that, then you should not sing those vocals or be in the band. it cost me a tremendous amount of money but was for the better good" //Jimmy - Outshine 

Outshine is now heading back to it´s roots, a darker, more gothic and melancholy approach is taking Outshine songs and vibe to the next level and the essence of the band is really finally coming out. Founder and guitarist Jimmy Boman has now taken on the vocals, going full circle to ensure Outshine prevailing after years of disastrous band member issues, lawsuits, greif and pain. 

A video for the first song with Jimmy on vocals "Love Is Dead" can then be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n1MLQA073A

“OUTSHINE, with a melancholy and dark approach to their music, is heading in a darker and heavier direction, more straight up and with bulldozer-heavy sound. The band has influences from the gothic metal to melodic rock always with a twist. OUTSHINE´s sound has been recognized as unique and with a “live” feeling. Beautiful and honest, dark and evil, tough and hard...OUTSHINE 2019 is hear to stay.”

“With their heaviness, their groove & fat riffs, Outshine has all the ingredients needed to scare the hell out of a poodle rocker in the dark back streets in their hometown Gothenburg”
- 7/10 CLOSE-UP Magazine

“Outshine finds a way to express their music with such a vital & independent touch that they very well could be the "next hope in rock n roll music"

Heavy, spaced out darkness out of Oslo, Norway.
Members from Tombstones, HYMN and KITE.
Debut album recorded spring 2018 at Studio Underjord, Norrköping, Sweden

“An ultra‐heavy riff monster, blues‐soaked and asinfinitely reverberating asthe cosmological radiation!”
‐ Doom Metal Front
KITE is a Norwegian three piece mellowing in a refreshing hybrid of gloomy, crushing sludge and
melodic addictiveness.; it is dark and heavy, yet neckbreakingly groovy and crisp.
Their roots spring deep into the post‐hardcore sound of 90’s acts such as Quicksand, Cave In, Deftones
and Breach, giving color to their updated sound of today.
The band members are usually busy with their other projects Sâver, Dunderbeist and Team Me, but
are highly productive when in the KITE outfit.  
2018 saw the release of the EP "The All Penetrating Silence" (Sludgelord Records) which was
rewarded great reviews from critics and fans alike, and had the band touring Scandinavia and
Germany.
KITE have now recorded a new full album, which is set for an March 2020 release through Italian
Sludge/Doom label Argonauta Records.
The album – “irradiance” – was recorded at Tåkeheimen Lydrike in Oslo, Norway, spring 2019 and
consists of 7 heavy and atmospheric tracks, howling of desperation and despair.
