Norwegian black metal visionaries Slagmaur have inked a multi-album deal in blood with Prophecy Productions, through which they will first release their forthcoming fourth full-length. Also, the band has been added to the billing of Prophecy Fest 2023!
Slagmaur comments: "For anyone following along, Prophecy Productions is without a doubt the record label that is on everyone's lips", mastermind General Gribbsphiiser declares. "This is where all creative souls should dwell to be able to spread their music, visual art, and messages in many formats. We will always look back fondly at our former label, but we want to expand our network to work with music and art in a wider format from now on."
Slagmaur has earned a reputation as one of the most terrifying black metal bands. The Norwegians have built an international die-hard fan base, toured the world, and stole the show repeatedly as a highlight of major festivals. Although critics have been quick to recognize Slagmaur's genius, they have struggled to describe its radically individualistic and inventive art. There are only two proper reactions to Slagmaur: utter silence or Munchian screams.
Slagmaur's tall tales are brewed from an admixture of folklore, children's rhymes, fairy tales, local stories, WWII, and varied manifestations of evil, while its grand psychotic visions have birthed some of the genre's best artwork and many most barbarous live performances in history.
Slagmaur was born as a solo project of General Gribbsphiiser, who is also known for his work with Norwegian black metal legend Snorre W. Ruch. The General soon recruited a pair of fellow Chthonic deities: Aatselgribb and later Lt. Wardr. Both sublime talents came aboard as Gribbsphiiser was recording Slagmaur's first demo, Svin (2006), followed by another one, Skrekk (2006), and a split with Aptorian Demon entitled Domfeldt (2007). Together with the previously lost rehearsal tape Helvette (2006), all previously mentioned recordings were later reissued as the box set The Three Protocols Of Fosen (2017).
Slagmaur's avant-garde debut album, Skrekk Lich Kunstler (2007), marked the premier instalment in the still-unfolding series, The Art Of Olderman. Skrekk Lich Kunstler features two special guest vocalists: Norwegian Grammy-winner Eskil Blix (Vemod) and the late muse Steingrim Torson "Mehimoloth" (1983-2009). Steingrim, who has been honoured by Slagmaur with a tribute, also appears on the following studio albums, Von Rov Shelter (2009) and Thill Smitts Terror (2017).
In 2019 and 2022, Slagmaur unleashed the lethal singles "Wildkatze" and "Ritual Dogs" from the Norwegian's forthcoming album. Stay tuned: only the worst miscreants will survive the upcoming round of ritual slaughter. Link
