IT IS AN INDISPUTABLE FACT THAT SEIGMEN STAND TALL AS ONE OF THE GREAT PILLARS IN THE NORWEGIAN ROCK SCENE!
Seigmen is releasing new music for the first time since 2016!
It was an unfinished band that took to the stage when Seigmen (formerly known as Klisne Seigmenn) played their very first show during Christmas of 1989. However, even then, they had something unique that set them apart from the others, and their sound was undeniably different from all those they shared stage with. Even the conservative paper Tønsbergs Blad reported the next day that "Klisne Seigmenn outperformed the others."
Fast forward to 1994, the year they released the EP "Hjernen er alene" and their third studio album "Total."
From there on, Seigmen and their heavy and grandiose, yet catchy melancholy, defined the 1990s.
"Total" was later recognized as one of Norway's 100 best albums of all time, and their fourth album "Metropolis" dominated the charts back in 1995 won a Spellemann award for Best Rock Album.
In 1997, "Radiowaves" went straight to number one.
Then it all came to an end, as out of nothing, the announcement came that the band was disbanding because guitarist Sverre was leaving. One for all and all for one. A few months before the previous millennium came to an end, Seigmen played their farewell show for a packed Rockefeller in Oslo, Norway.
But it wasn't meant to end there; it's almost unnatural to just let go of a good thing and old friendships forever. In 2005, the band reunited on stage for the first time in Dødens Dal in Trondheim, and in 2008, they were the first Norwegian band to be invited to play at the new opera house in Bjørvika.
However, the biggest event of the new millennium came in 2015 when Seigmen surprisingly released "Enola," a full 18 years after "Radiowaves."
On April 12, 2024, almost exactly 30 years after their breakthrough with "Total," a special event is set to occur when Seigmen releases "Resonans," their first album in nine years.
The choice of Velvet Recording as their studio is not a coincidence; it's the same place "Total" was recorded back in 1994.
