| Tuesday, November 30, 2010 - Susperia Joins Forces With Ex-Dimmu Borgir Keyboardist For Eurovison Song Contest | Norwegian metallers Susperia have teamed up with former Dimmu Borgir keyboardist Øyvind Mustaparta to compete to represent their country in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest.
Frontman Pål Mathiesenf: "We are not afraid to lose credibility. A competition needs variation. We know how good our music is, with great melodies, energy and hooks in the songs. With this in mind, we want to let the big masses discover our music, and enjoy our hidden treasures."
Øyvind Mustaparta: "It has been very inspiring to gather with Susperia. Since Elvorn and I established our first band already in 1995 as kids, then meeting Memnock and knowing Tjodalv from my early days in Dimmu Borgir, it felt very natural to sit down and start to be creative again together with my old friends.
I don't think keyboard is for just any kind of metal band or band in general, but Susperia have the open mind for this and the right elements for sure, and we agree that it can come something really good out of this"
"We made a killer song together that's going to be performed at the Norwegian Eurovision!!
I really can't wait to perform again with a band that in a very dynamic way lift each other's instruments and Athera's amazing vocals all together."
Susperia has released five albums and one EP, and has toured extensively in Europe. Musically, they have evolved from playing what people used to define as black metal to pursuing a more traditional heavy metal/hard rock direction with clean vocals. |
