Norm Rejection

RESIST THE REPRESSION

About Me

  • Widely recognised as Malta's first band to fuse different styles into a distinctive metal sound, Norm Rejection was founded in 1994. Norm Rejection is known for its songs of protest and rebellion.
  • The band's first release, "Subtly Mesmerized?" (1994) included 3 tracks: "Subtly Mesmerized?"; "Pangea's Neglect" and "Distorted Visions".
  • Subsequently, Norm Rejection released two singles "Trance Upon the Chessboard" (1995) and "Where's the Green?" (1997) before releasing its two full-length albums "Deconform" (1998) and "0002" (2000).
  • Tracklisting: Deconform: Scrap; 6479; Caged; Strawburied; Where's The Green; Urged; Cement; Heresy.
  • Tracklisting: 0002: Blaster; Faceless; Malta Not For Sale; Straitjacket; The Death of the Subject; Submission; McVeigh; What You Get For Doing It; Narcoman.
  • In the meantime Norm Rejection songs were included in various international CD compilations, including: French magazine 'Hard Force', where "Caged" appeared alongside songs by Sepultura, Dimmu Borgir, Skinlab and others; "Helping you work to work Volume 6" by Lockjaw Records (UK), sponsored by Metal Hammer magazine, which included Norm Rejection's "The Death of the Subject" ; and "Justice for Mark Barnlsey", the international benefit CD for Mark Barnsley, which includes "Faceless", and other compilations.
  • Norm Rejection has played live and headlined many concerts between 1994 and 2001, and also opened for Anathema.
  • Norm Rejection returned back on stage in a memorable concert on 9 March 2007 at Poxx Bar, Paceville (Malta). Norm Rejection is also writing new material - witness newest tracks 'ENCOUNTER' and 'KEMM HAWN DWEJJAQ FIL-PAJJIZ' in Norm Rejection's live concerts .
