Norway Gears Up For Brand New Metal Show On National Radio

September 5, 2005

NRK's trend-setting radio channel P3 goes back to wearing black every Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. from September 7 during "Tinitus" — a two-hour program featuring music to crush your eardrums to. From SLAYER and SLIPKNOT, METALLICA and MESHUGGAH to SLOGSTORM and SCUM, "Tinitus" is the show that doesn't turn the other cheek. Interviews with underground acts will feature next to the biggest stars, with the genre's latest releases being put through their paces as the celebrity "officer of the week" decides their fate — will they top or flop? Furthermore, there will be objectionable prizes, a special section for unsigned bands where "talent scout extraordinaire," Fenriz from DARKTHRONE, will regularly put forward his suggestions on the subject.

Created by producer Patrizia Mazzuoccolo and host Kirsti Thisland Eggum — and developed with award-winning media production company, Bådeog Drama — "Tinitus" is P3's first out-of-house production for the Norwegian state radio channel.

The "Tinitus" team have also arranged "Not Just Another Launch Party" to take place at Betong, Slemdalsveien in Oslo on Friday, September 9. The celebrations will start at 8:00 p.m. on the dot and will feature, among other things, showcases by three bands:

* FUNERAL: in their first concert in five years, the band will showcase fresh material from their soon-to-be-released album "From These Wounds". Now featuring a new lineup, with vocalist Frode Forsmo (from progressive doomsters MINAS TIRITH),this is "music to slash your wrists to."

* KHOLD will perform brand-new material from their as-yet-unreleased album, "Krek" (due out on October 10).

* Headliners FIREBIRD (featuring ex-NAPALM DEATH/CARCASS founder, Bill Steer) will provide those good, old-fashioned, ass-kicking stoner grooves.
