Norwegian Black Metallers SLAGMAUR Sign With OSMOSE PRODUCTIONS

January 5, 2009

Norwegian black metallers SLAGMAUR have inked deal with Osmose Productions for the re-release of two of the band's earlier albums, "Svin" and "Skrekk Lich Kunstler".

Patricia Thomas, the U.K.-based manager of the notoriously reclusive band says that SLAGMAUR was approached by several labels in regards to the re-release of its back catalog. "The band have always been adamant that they themselves retain complete control over every aspect of their output," she says. "Osmose was able to appreciate the benefits of allowing SLAGMAUR to continue working in a way that has proved to be very successful so far, and both band and label felt comfortable with each other."

Osmose comments in a statement: "This is a very unique and original band, both in terms of music and personalities. SLAGMAUR is one of the darkest black metal bands to emerge from Norway for some considerable time, and their whole attitude and approach to their music makes them very interesting to work with to say the least!"

"Svin" and "Skrekk Lich Kunstler" are due to be released on Osmose during 2009, and artist Robert Hoyem, who has produced some startling work for the band, has been commissioned to prepare new artwork for "Svin".
