ANSUR Sign With NOCTURNAL ART PRODUCTIONS

April 5, 2006

Norwegian black metallers ANSUR have inked a deal with Nocturnal Art Productions/Candlelight Records.

ANSUR was formed in Drammen, Norway in 2003 as a young three-piece band. The following winter ANSUR recorded "Demo 2004", which contained four tracks of more or less traditional black metal with a raw and characteristic sound. After the demo release, underground label Nerbilous Productions (South Korea) took interest in the band and offered to re-release the demo in a more official way. The demo was renamed "Carved in Flesh" and officially re-released in 2005. The lineup changed the following year, with Stian Svenne joining on guitars and Glenn Ferguson on drums. Bass player Aslak A. Werme left the band, and vocalist Espen A. R. Aulie took up his duties. The band slowly went through changes musically, and they began to incorporate stronger progressive elements in addition to the black and death metal styles to create something more characteristic and unique.

ANSUR's debut album, "Axiom", was recorded in their own studio from July to December 2005. The material on "Axiom" varies from brutal tracks like "Earth Erasure" to more progressive ones like "The Axiom Depicted" and "Desert Messiah".

"Axiom" is due for worldwide release in the fall through Nocturnal Art Productions/Candlelight Records. More details will follow soon.

ANSUR lineup:

Torstein J. Nipe – Guitars, Effects/Programming
Stian Svenne – Guitars, Backing Vocals
Espen A.R. Aulie – Vocals, Bass
Glenn Ferguson – Drums
