Norwegian Irriverent Death Metallers NOXIUM FERUS, have released “Dickslapped By The Devil”, the first single of their upcoming album “Blasphemicon”, due for release via Wormholedeath worldwide. More info coming soon!
This song is inspired by true events, unmentionable ones. It also presents the comeback of guest artist Jontho Panthera, RAGNAROK’s drummer and leader, after more than 5 years away from the drumkit due to injuries.
“Dickslapped By The Devil” was composed by Steinar Aven (guitar and bass), all lyrical and vocal arrangements by Espen Viking Dyngen, guitars by Torgeir ‘Alvakien’ Espedal, and drums plus guest vocals by Jontho Panthera of RAGNAKOR. Mixed, mastered and produced by Martin Gravdal.
NOXIUM FERUS is a band project created by sheer coincidence. Having been writing lyrics for many Black and Death metal bands since the early 90’s, but never having done any vocals attempts himself- in March 2018 Espen Dyngen made a half-drunk attempt to improvise some growling to one of Steinar Aven’s music projects. It all turned out surprisingly well, against all expectations (especially Espen Dyngen’s own) , and Steinar Aven managed to persuade Espen to start dedicating himself to this newly discovered vocal talent. And so new life was given to old songs, and Espen finally got to sing his own lyrics himself!
Steinar being busy with many other projects, asked Espen to run the new band and create its concept. And henceforth the logo, imagery, lyrical content, and whole identity of the band took form out of Espen’s dark mind. And NOXIUM FERUS was born.
