Oslo, Norway (1997-2008)
Band members:
Torgrim Torve - Guitar and Lead vocals
Ronny Flissundet - Guitar and Backing vocals
Håvard Gjerde - Bass and Backing vocals
Erlend Gjerde - Drums
Though their debut album Arrows was first released in Scandinavia in January 2005, the four guys in Stonegard have been hard at work on their music for a long time. They first met in 1997 when three of them were enrolled at “Trøndertunet” a boarding school which in the last 15-20 years has been a breeding ground for many of Norway’s most successful “pop musicians” of all genres.
In 2000 they came together as Stonegard and have been loved and lauded by Norwegian fans and media ever since. Their followers have really only had one problem; agreeing on a definition of the music. “Dirty testosterone rock?”. “Groovy trash metal?”. “Rock ‘n’ roll with strong leanings to doom- and black metal?”. Or how about this one: “Sabbath-meets-Slayer-on-the-way-to-a-jam-session-with-Metallica-in-the-best- speed-metal-era-(around 1983)-rock?”.
Well, the obvious explanation is that these guys are constantly developing. So even though they have been in the studio on several occasions during, they have avoided any public release until they were absolutely sure they could live up to their own expectations. Now the time is finally right.

Kickass. Saw 'em live in 2005, they were great. I decided to get their album after the show. Too bad I haven't bought From Dusk yet, haven't had enough cash.

One of my favorite bands ever :-D Tunderbeist btw, a new group with one (or more) of the former Stonegard memers is alright, though not as good as Stonegard;)
