Norwegian heavy metal trio Sahg has a new single, music video and EP out all entitled More Of Nothing, out now on Drakkar Entertainment. The EP features tracks recorded during the recording sessions of their 2022 studio album Born Demon, available on Drakkar Entertainment.
“We have worked onward as the ’Toxic Trio’ since our latest album Born Demon, and passed even new limits for what this three-piece can achieve,” saidfrontman Olav Iversen. These songs are a result of exploring what the 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. As proven throughout this band’s history, we are not afraid to try new things and just let it out there. On the other hand, some might say we are the most traditional metal band around!” he laughed. “ So, I guess everyone will just have to give it a listen and make up their own minds about it.”
Entering the Norwegian metal scene in 2006 as a classic doom band wasn’t necessarily a recipe for success. Black metal was still the big thing coming from Norway, and there wasn’t much space for bands from other subgenres. Even with Gorgoroth members King ov Hell and Kvitrafn in the line-up, adding a touch of blackness, it wasn’t very likely that Sahg would get an instant break-through but the band took the heavy music scene by storm with chart-breaking debut Sahg I.
Throughout the following years, Sahg has released six albums, and played several tours and festivals across Europe, the United States and Asia to date – Touring as support for bands like Motörhead, W.A.S.P., Opeth, Clutch, Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir and Enslaved, and appeared at prestigious festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze, Sweden Rock Festival, Hard Rock Hell, Tons of Rock, Inferno Festival and Beyond the Gates among many more. To this day, Sahg stayed true to their doom and heavy metal roots.
Classic heavy metal for the new age, with a desire for the occult, aversion for religion, and a gloomy gaze into the inevitable apocalypse, all served with a cold bite of Norwegian Blackness. With the ruthless force of a classic power trio, Sahg is part of a renaissance intended to bring vintage doom and classic heavy metal back to the masses.
