Ex-REÄLM members join forces in new project!Fall Of Asgard, the brand new project by Tomt Atle and Stian Andersen.Do you remember Tomt Atle? The norwegian drummer was one of the founders of REÄLM. He created the band alongside Tom Orgsen (the lead vocalist and the most-known member of the scandinavian band, now on The Enlightened) and Terje Lundsten (bassist, he retired from the music scene back in 2012). With them, he recorded one full-lenght album, The Sacred Chants Of Death (produced by Jason Smith) which became a successful record and a cult album for the extreme metal fans. The story is well-known, the band was going to release their second album, Diabolus Sanctus, when they disbanded.
There were different versions: Tom Orgsen accused the managers and producers, he said: "they destroyed the band...and my bandmates were confused, some of them just wanted money, they wanted to have a hit album, to make some commercial music and win millions...I didn't want that for the band, I wanted to make music for us and for our fans! I argued a lot with the guys about that, it wasn't the same, it wasn't funny anymore, we're fighting all day long so I thought that the best idea was to stop everything, to finish with the band."
On the other hand, Tomt Atle told that "Tom (Orgsen) is a selfish, he wants to control everything, to write every single melody and he didn't want me on the band, but he couldn't fire me, I was a founder of the band, just like him. It was my band too, it wasn't just his band, it was our band. I think he destroyed it, he fucked it all...I had some great ideas for the second album but he didn't want any ideas from the others, he wanted to make everything and that was not possible...and then he decided to finish the band! That was fucking insane, and then Terje, who was the other founder, told that it was ok, he was leaving the music, he didn't want to play anymore, so I couldn't stay on the band, I wanted to follow with REÄLM but I couldn't. I don't really understand why Terje accepted what Orgsen wanted...But now, that's history!"
Actually, Tomt and another ex-member of REÄLM (guitarist Stian Andersen) are joining forces to unleash a brand new project: Fall Of Asgard which is described as an "epic extreme metal band" by its members, with mythological influences in their lyrics and epic and extreme metal elements on the music. The band is working on their debut album on Sweden, to be released sometime this year.
We could talk with Tomt Atle about this exciting new project: "It's really epic, I'm getting out of the darkness with this band, you know? I haven't been working on the scene since 2012...since REÁLM. And this is the time to return, this project is a great and exciting idea. Stian came to me and he told that he wanted to work with me again that we should do something so here we are! This is a mythology-based death metal band! Yeah, our lyrics are based on the norse mythology, I just love it. I fucking love Odin! You'll fucking see, this is epic metal!...Our debut album's coming this year, for sure, very soon! It will probably be called 'Nordic Tales' but we're not sure yet, so stay tuned guys, more info will be revealed soon, thanks for your support!"
