Mistur [Nor]

Mistur - "Skoddefjellet" demo June 2005
Mistur is a black metal project from Kaupanger in Sogndal. They play black metal with a focus on melodies and harmonies/moods. The band was formed in 2003 by Espen Bakketeig and Andr?Raunehaug, and they released their self-financed and critically acclaimed demo "Skoddefjellet" in June of 2005. "Skoddefjellet" received rave reviews in Scream, Monster, Vampire Magazine, heavymetal.no and many more. Almost 600 copies have been sold, both domestically and abroad. By now the band has a full line-up containing 7 members, Andr?Raunehaug (rythm guitar), Stian Bakketeig and Ivar Refsdal (lead guitars), Espen Bakketeig (synth), Bengt Ré´‘eid (drums), Rune Gandrud (bass) and Odne (screams). At present, the band is working on new material and are aiming to record an album in the early months of 2007. The album is scheduled for a summer release. In January 2007 the debutgig took place at Meieriet in Sogndal with great success. And 21th of April Mistur will play at club Maiden in Oslo. Hopefully there will be many more gigs to come.
