About Me


RELEASES:
Skygger og Støv EP (December, 2008)
Høst EP (May, 2007)
REVIEWS:
"What is it with these non-blackmetal Norwegians? Zero Tolerance magazine called them “Norway's latest brilliantly unclassifiable band” – if you like Enslaved, Opeth, Tool and their likes you will probably LOVE Ørkenkjøtt!"
- Inferno Metal Festival
"[...] these guys really go way beyond Opeth. [...] They can really appeal to fans of experimental rock, death metal, black metal, progressive, and other genres along these lines. I think this band has the potential to really get big."
- IMV Reviews
"[…] This band has made quite a fuzz in the Norwegian underground metal scene, being considered as one of the highlights of the moment. […] I think this is a very promising band and my ranking of the EP is not too high."
- 9,5/10, Metalhead.ro
"Det var ekstremt tight hele veien og ingen tvil om at dette er et band man må regne med i tiden framover. [...] det hele låt rett og slett vidunderlig. Spesielt vokalen var fantastisk og varierte hele tiden, men også musikken var varierende og det hele var rett og slett meget uforutsigbart. [...] fytti katta for en konsert de ga oss."
- Eternal Terror
"[...] dette ble en opplevelse utenom det vanlige. De virker å være inspirert av alle tidsepoker innen metall, pluss en hel masse annet, og gir oss kveldens mest varierte låtmateriale. Vokalisten skriker, growler, synger rent, resiterer og lager effekter med sci-fi-aktig stormannsgalskap.[...]"

BIO:
Ørkenkjøtt is an Experimental Extreme Metal band from Notodden, Norway, formed in 2005. Critics have compared their music to bands such as Opeth, and Enslaved. Though the band members are still young, they are experienced and daring musicians. Proud of their roots in the legendary black metal scene of Notodden, Telemark (Emperor, Mortiis, Zyklon), the upcoming band are determined to be as innovative as their forerunners and eager to explore new paths in Extreme Metal.
After a lot of concerts all around Norway, the band have now finished their second EP, "Skygger og Støv", a self-financed recording. Ørkenkjøtt has always focused a lot on playing live and have gained a lot of experience through the time of the bands existence.
