Susperia Biography
It didn't take drummer Tjodalv much time to decide what his plans were after his departure from Dimmu Borgir, just after the release of the band's popular album, Spiritual Black Dimension. Quickly uniting with local friends--vocalist Athera, bassist Memnock, and guitarists Elvon and Cyrus, his new band would present not only the intensity he had long delivered in Dimmu Borgir, but also add an undeniable sense of melody and musical integrity.
Three years later, Susperia is preparing for the US release of their already popular third album. With Unlimited, Susperia's musical charm is fully realized. Recorded at Subsonic Society Studios in Oslo and Studio Fredman (At The Gates, Soilwork) in Gothenburg, Sweden, Unlimited has already gathered substantial critical acclaim throughout Europe and with a video recently filmed for album track "Chemistry," Susperia's time to fully conquer US audiences is now.
Formed in 1999, Susperia found themselves part of a massive 10-label bidding war. The initial victor was Nuclear Blast. Their first album, Predominance, reportedly sold over 10,000 units in its first three months of worldwide release.
Tours in support of In Flames, Nevermore, Lacuna Coil and Dimmu Borgir would place the band in front of excited audiences throughout Europe, with their single US performance coming via the annual Milwaukee Metal Fest. The band's
second album, Vindication, would follow and equally impressed fans and critics. But a change was in the air.
Signing with Tabu Records (recently confirming US license with Candlelight for the Americas) in late 2003, Susperia have rearmed and are set to expand their grasp on the music that has impressed so many in relatively short time.
