Anfinnsaas by Anfinnsaas

Anfinnsaas is a duo that was formed by Knut Finsaas and Geir Anfinn Halland Johansen in 2013, in the middle of Norway.

Their self-titled debut album, coming in the autumn of 2015, is an earth-shattering blend of Nordic traditional music and metal. Taking their main inspiration from traditional Nordic tunes, Anfinnsaas wanted to have a fresh and new sound that differs from the metal sound of today. The duo format gives the band room to explore new ways of playing and incorporating different soundscapes, as well as allowing them the freedom to indulge in an over-the-top chaotic style, showcasing their virtuosity on their instruments, without heading into self-indulgence.

Anfinnsaas are ready to turn the world upside down with their fresh and terrifying sonic assault, that resonates from the depths of the earth. The band like to offer a hint of melody, only to quickly demolish it with an avalanche of buzzing guitars and thunderous drums. An audio apocalypse.

"A winding, ragged piece of instrumental metal, dynamically shifting from low growls to rasping highs"
— Bloody-Disgusting

"The dark moods and tuned down sound resonate through your skeleton. You feel the weight of the music, than it explodes with sudden black metal energy. If you like raw apocalyptic traditional Nordic, raw black, doom, and sludge grooves, and raw dark metal, then you are in for a treat"
— Loud & Heavy

"This is the \m/ equivalent of Sam Raimi's first Evil Dead film. The musical forces involved are visibly possessed (ha!) of passion, talent, and vision"
— Metal Asylum
