Some time ago I reported that Norther was going to release a new album. The new album “N” is out now. Norther’s singer-guitarist Petri Lindroos was interviewed by Finnish music magazine Sue. This post is a short outline of that interview. The whole interview can be read in Sue in issue 115.
Norther band was formed back in 1996 and since 2002 Norther has released several albums. Norther has become better known, but it that not happened in one night. Year after year Norther has reached new fans and got more attention. Anyhow, Norther is still an underground band.
Petri Lindroos, the singer-guitarist of Norther sings in another band as well. Lindroos joined Ensiferum in 2004 and now tours with two bands at the same time. Singing in two metal bands is a full time job for Petri Lindroos, and therefore Lindroos has not had a “ordinary job” for long time.
In the early days of Norther people claimed that Norther copies Children of Bodom. Soon Norther discovered own sound, and nowadays Norther sounds quite much different from the early days. Years ago Norther used to play covers, such as Europe’s Final Countdown, but today the band plays only their own songs. “May be one day we’ll play covers again”, says Petri Lindroos in Sue’s interview.
When making their album “N”, Norther got help from Fredrik Nordstrom, the man who has worked with Arch Enemy and In Flames as well. Sounds in the new album are much stronger and in the old albums. Norther had lots of difficulties during the making of “N”, but after +20 additional days the new album was ready. The new album was released in Finnish Metal Expo a while ago.
I have been waiting for the new album of Norther. The band is one of my favorite melodic death metal bands and I have listened to Norther for few years now. I am really looking forward to buy their album “N”. On next week I’ll get it in my hands. Oh yeah!
