Stigma

I got my layouts from MySpace Layout Generator & Premade MySpace Layouts-Stigma was formed 1999 by Stig Rune Robertsen basically as a "one man band" and released a self titled album before Endre Hindhammer joined the band. They went to school together and played together in THE AUN BAND in 1991 and ATTITUDE in 1995, which later became the legendary band PARANOIA.In the summer of 2000 the album "SOLITUDE" was released. -In 2001 they re-located to Trondheim where they started as a band with Ola Nordal on guitars and Gunulf Vaule Staurheim on drums. Unfortuenetly the band split up before recording anything.Stigma was dead...In 2004 Stig and Endre established the band again with Marius Skaugen on drums and Erling Solbu on guitar.They released the EP "LOSSES"-Erling Solbu was later replaced by Ole-Andreas Hammer.In the spring of 2005 Marius and Hammer focused on their other bands Bulwark and Appetite for destructionStigma released a live album in January, 2005 titled "LIVE IN SOLITUDE". It was recorded july, 2000 in Heggem. This is actually the only show Stigma has ever played, so why not release it?!Stig and Endre then started writing new material for the album "THE FAILURE OF ME." It was recorded from june to December and was released December 24th, 2005. Suffering from horrible sound quality the album did not get the credit it deserves.2006 was a year of songwriting and different side projects. Being busy running the record label Tyntis Records and writing for the norwegian Monster Magazine, Stig had a lot on his mind and the songwriting process went slowly. Endre also moved from Trondheim.2007 is however the year that is gonna get STIGMA in the front seat, where they belong! The new consept album, "SOLITUDE 24/7" was supposed to be released at July, 24th, but as they really want to make their first album with perfect sound and performance they don't want to rush things. The album will naturally be yet another December 24th release from STIGMA and if you are wondering what christmas presents to buy this year, just contact Tyntis Records!
