Slagmaur

SLAGMAUR have never intended their lyrics as a simple retelling of old stuff, but rather as a defiant challenge of conventions or as unsettling and confrontational provocation. Gribbsphiiser occasionally assumes the role of a black jester, who dares to hold up a mirror to society and does not care, if generating a story that goes viral despite a plethora of deliberately planted clues and full of holes causes opposition.
SLAGMAUR hail from Brekstad on the Fosen peninsula in the Trøndelag region and are a part of the Trondheim-based 'Nidrosian black metal movement'. Founder, composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist General Gribbsphiiser even participated formally in a bloody baptismal ceremony shared with scene-defining musicians.
Although Gribbsphiiser started the band as a solo project, he already recruited fellow musicians during the recording of his first demo, Svin (2006). SLAGMAUR's black avant-garde debut album, Skrekk Lich Kunstler (2007), marked the premier instalment in the still-unfolding series, "The Art of Olderman". The following studio albums Von Rov Shelter (2009) and Thill Smitts Terror (2017) continued this story arc.
The next chapter in the "The Art of Olderman" saga arrives with the band's fourth full-length album, Hulders Ritual, set for release in 2026 via Prophecy Productions. Continuing their black avant-garde journey, this new instalment is aimed at those who are seeking musical darkness, magic, and the relentless breaking of limitations from black metal, once again cementing SLAGMAUR among the select few that are leading the way to the future of the genre.
