These six guys from cold Norway, where its survival of the fittest, have proved their right to play With the big boys. Their music is described by the press as “blackened melo-deathcoreâ€, and with the bands “take no prisonersâ€-attitude, energic musical style and live-performance they have captured their audience, and there’s no way back.
Starting out as Misery Conduct they started their early trials with line-up changers and finding their musical stride. As soon as they started finding their sound and settle down they went on to win Club Maiden’s DeathMatch (a battle of the bands where the audience vote for their favorite), giving them a prize consisting of free studio time to record their debut album “Sic Vic Pacum Para Bellumâ€, an album that has recieved extremely good reviews:
