+title: Bands for stage announced!
+---
+
+It is our pleasure to finally announce the bands who get to play on our Norsk Urskog stage at the Inferno Metal Festival Opening day. Picking out the right bands has been extremely difficult, and the only fair solution would be to have all the participating bands play. That's not possible however, so we ended up with these three bands for this round:
+
+* Wyruz
+* Unspoken
+* Endolith
+
+More info about the bands follows:
+
+## Wyruz (Hamar)
+
+![]({{ "/assets/images/2014/wyruz-promo.jpg" | prepend: site.baseurl_root }})
+
+[Wyruz][1] from Hamar, Norway was founded in early 2002. They realeased a couple of demoes in 2003 ("Sleep when you`re dead") and 2006 ("Your Angel"). Due to line-up changes, the band had a slow start and it wasn`t until 2012 their first album, "Fire at Will" saw the light of day.
+
+The following year they did a string of one-off shows and embarked on "The Norwegian invasion - European tour" alongside the death metal kings in Blood Red Throne.
+
+With an obvious fascination for bands like Slayer and Death, their music is best described as a crossover between death- and trash metal.
+
+Wyruz`s second full-lenght album is due to realease in late 2014 and the band promise to give you a taste of the new album at this years Inferno Festival!
+
+Todays line-up consists of : Kenneth Skårholen - Drums, Atle Johannessen Sjørengen- Bass, Vegar Larsen - Guitar/Vocal and Kim Nybakken - Guitar

+
+## Unspoken (Oslo)
+
+![]({{ "/assets/images/2014/unspoken-promo.jpg" | prepend: site.baseurl_root }})
+
+[Unspoken][2] from Oslo is a band width both feet firmly in the groovy, noncompromising death metal, painted intensely black. Their debut "Primal Revelation" from 2006, as well as their follow up "Requiem Aeternam Deo" from 2012 has received very good reviews from Norway as well as abroad. The band is hard at work with its next release, and is ready to unleash more anti-religious, sulphurous extrem metal of the fines kind upon the world.
+
+Unspoken anno 2014 is: Kent Are Sommerseth – Vocals, Julian Ofsdal Berg - Bass, Jostein Lien – Drums, Andreas Wærholm- Guitars and Lars Oskar Antonsen - Guitars
+
+You will see them at the Norsk Urskog stage at the opening day of the Inferno Metal Festival this easter!
+
+## Endolith (Tromsø)
+
+![]({{ "/assets/images/2014/endolith-promo.jpg" | prepend: site.baseurl_root }})
+
+[Endolith][3] is a three-piece musical project based in Tromsø, Norway. Fusing detuned heavy grooves, unorthodox rythms, electronic elements, varied vocals and the occasional old-school reference, Endolith is as much inspired by 20th century
+philosopy and contemporary science as they are by a diverse selection of metal.
+
+Erling Malm (vocals, guitars, sequencing, samples and production), Roger Tunheim Jakobsen (drums) and Simon Theodorsen (lead vocals) create heavy music both inspired by arctic climates and long winters beyond the 70th parallel north, and the weighty ideas of great scientists and thinkers. Seeking to broaden the scope of what extreme music can represent. Endolith combine an academic and philanthtropic outlook with the appreciation of musicality and diverse expression, while still keeping its roots firmly planted in the world of heavy metal.

+title: Alt klart for konsert!
+---
+
+Da er endelig dagen her, og Norsk Urskog blir for første gang å finne på en scene! Stedet å være i kveld er Internasjonalen på Youngstorget i Oslo! Møt opp, støtt den norske undergrunnen og få en sjanse til å se tre knallfete band før alle andre!
+
+## Wyruz
+
+Aggressiv og uptempo thrash metal fra Hamar. Disse karene har holdt på i en årrekke, men ga ut sitt debutalbum [Fire at Will][1] først i 2012. De har senere turnert Europa med bl.a. *Blood Red Throne* og *Inquested* i tillegg til å ha gjennomført en rekke enkeltstående konserter rundt i Norge.
+
+Forvent kjapp, aggressiv thrash metal som røsker i nakkemusklene!

+
+## Unspoken
+
+Unspoken fra Oslo spiller mørk og seig dødmetall! På et mesterlig vis klarer de å kombinere et suggererende driv med harmonisk kompleksitet, noe som gir musikken både dybde og intensitet. De har gitt ut to album så langt, [Primal Revelation][2] i 2006 og [Requiem Aeternam Deo][3] i 2012.
+
+Forvent et mørkt og intenst live show med svovelstinkende og seig dødmetall.

+
+## Endolith
+
+Strake veien fra Tromsø! Endolith spiller tung og groovy metal med innslag av mer moderne musikalske uttrykk. Referansene til band som Messhuggah er tydelig tilstede, men bruken av samples og elektronikk gir dem likefullt en unik nerve i musikken. Muligens det bandet som blir vanskeligst å bange i takt til denne kvelden, men vi skulle like å se den som ikke prøver!
+
+Forvent teknisk intrikat metall med tung groove og spenstige taktskifter.

+
+Vi sees på Internasjonalen i kveld!

+
+**Thank you very much** to the bands, the crew, the volunteers, the drivers, the amazing audience and everyone that helped make the live debut of the Norsk Urskog concept such a great success! All three bands kicked ass and the atmosphere was amazing! We hope we can do this again next year!
+
+And to everyone that missed yesterdays performance, we hope you still got the CD's in your goodie bags and will give it a listen. The undergound is strong and thriving, and we think everyone should find at least something they like among the 15 bands on this edition.
+
+**Thank you, and see you around on the festival!**
