Sahg

Norway’s premier exponents of thunderous and doomy heavy metal, Sahg, are back with another outburst of ‘True Norwegian Heavy Metal’. 18 years on from the release of their debut album, 'Sahg I', the endurant Norwegians are poised to return in 2024 with a four-track EP that once again reaches further towards this band’s imperial ambitions. Throughout its four tracks, 'More of Nothing' spans across an impressive range of nuances within the realm of metal, executed through meticulous craftsmanship and macabre songwriting.

«We have worked onward as the ’Toxic Trio’ since Born Demon, and passed even new limits for what this three-piece can achieve», says the band’s singer/guitarist Olav Iversen.

From the razor-sharp riff rampage of title track 'More of Nothing', via the Blashyrkh-reeking grandeur of 'Suffer in Silence', to the grand postlude of ballad-noir 'She’s a Queen' – Sahg’s most passionate and hurtful outlet to date – this EP covers an impressive expanse of metal territory. Solidly rooted in the doom & gloom section of classic heavy metal, it covers new ground for each track. All strapped nicely together through the Toxic Trio’s rough-edged and distinct signature sound – old-school, yet with the vibrance and punch in the gut of a modern metal recording.

«These songs are a result of exploring what our new trio format can do. We just had some fun with it, and fooled around with a lot of different things. Surprisingly, it turned out sounding very consistent», adds Iversen.
