(2002 – present)

Sturmgeist is a Norwegian band founded in the autumn of 2002 as a solo project by Cornelius von Jackhelln (Solefald). Meant to be a Thrash/Black outfit, Sturmgeist took a slightly electronic/industrial turn while recording the Meister Mephisto debut album (Season of Mist, 2005) in Sound Suite Studio, France. Meister Mephisto’s direct expression and martial attitude went down well with the listeners and critics who got what they expected: grim hardcore Metal without detours or surprises. Producer Terje Refsnes once characterised Sturmgeist’s music thus: Pop songs in Metal disguise. In February 2005, Sturmgeist played before cheerful crowds in Paris and London, turning the gig into a party by serving Jägermeister on stage.

After the tour, von Jackhelln recruited guitarist John E. Jacobsen as a full member of Sturmgeist. Much of Sturmgeist’s second opus Über was written during von Jackhelln’s stay in Rome, and completed during a devilishly hot week in Florence, Tuscany. A certain Roman influence is present in verses like these:

“Black banner marble arch
A massive army up to march
Skulls to crush land to raid
Brothers attack victors invade”

Sturmgeist’s lyrics are aggressive yet playful, taking Metal’s traditional pathos to new heights, sometimes to an ironic effect.

Über was recorded at Børge Finstad’s TopRoom Studio from October 2005 to January 2006, and produced by von Jackhelln. Drummer AntiChristian (Christian Svendsen, member of Tsjuder, Grimfist and The Cumshots) lay down a hard-hitting and steady foundation for the new songs on Über, enhanced by von Jackhelln and Jacobsen’s downtuned twin guitar attack.

It's certainly a drastic change, but I really enjoy the new album. Not sure if I prefer it over Uber though, hmm.

there seems to be somewhat of a consensus view here in the few shouts i've read that Meister is preferred over Uber... is this true? i much preferred Uber. as for the new album, only my second album, so i'll decline on rating yet

Vanskelig å tro. Uansett, det å si at du ikke er på noen substance i det hele tatt er veldig feil, si i så fall narcotic substance
