Coffin Storm<\/strong> is the new band featuring vocalist Fenriz<\/strong> (Darkthrone<\/a><\/strong>) alongside Apollyon<\/strong> (Aura Noir<\/a><\/strong>, Lamented Souls<\/strong>) and Bestial Tormentor<\/strong> (Infern\u00f6<\/strong>, Lamented Souls<\/strong>), though it’s not quite black metal. Instead, the trio are taking on some serious straightforward doom on their debut single “Over Frozen Moors”.<\/p>\n

“Kolbotn is a hilly forest-y place directly south of Oslo, Norway,” said Fenriz<\/strong>. “When Ole J\u00f8rgen<\/strong> and Olav<\/strong> and me grew up there in the 80s we had easy access to all the metal in the massive amounts of record stores in Oslo. Olav<\/strong> and Ole J\u00f8rgen<\/strong> started playing doom metal together in the 90s (Lamented Souls<\/strong>) but in 2020 they teamed up again and making riffs in the slow thrash\/doom\/classic heavy metal style. When the songs started to take form, Ole J\u00f8rgen<\/strong> took his place on the drum throne and soon started to record them. Wanting it to be a 100% Kolbotn project, they asked if I wanted to lay down vocals for it and after a couple of sessions in 2021 and 2022 Coffin Storm<\/strong> was born.”<\/p>\n

Apollyon<\/strong> added: “Me and Bestial Tormentor<\/strong> have been playing together since we met in college in 1990 and formed the doom metal act Lamented Souls<\/strong>. However with most members being busy with other bands LS<\/strong> kind of faded away. Our last rehearsal was around 2007.<\/p>\n

“After I had stopped playing live with Aura Noir<\/strong> we decided to meet up weekly and play guitar together. It was not going to be Lamented Souls<\/strong> and we had no serious plans of any kind. \u2013 but as songs were starting to emerge I switched to drums and we made recordings that Bestial Tormentor<\/strong> played to Fenriz<\/strong>, who apparently approved! I would never have dared to ask him to do the vocals! I was considering doing them myself but he was secretly our first choice.<\/p>\n

“Fortunately Bestial Tormentor<\/strong> popped the question and he said yes, so we recorded 3 songs with an extra pair of drum mics (4 in total) in the rehearsal place. Added bass and guitar in my house and went to Fenriz<\/strong>‘ to record the vocals. Then we had two more sessions before the album was finished.<\/p>\n

“Initially I was assuming the music would be doom metal. I think all of us had Epicus Doomicus Metallicus<\/em> in mind but even if our songs are slow\/mid tempo, the riffs ended up being more thrashy than I had expected. Only the title track is pure doom simply because it’s a song me and Bestial Tormentor<\/strong> made some 20 years ago that we were \u00fcber eager to hear Fenriz<\/strong>‘ ravishing vocal lines on.”<\/p>\n

Coffin Storm<\/strong>‘s debut album Arcana Rising <\/em>is out on March 29 on CD, limited orange vinyl, and black vinyl with pre-orders available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
