Assistert Sjølmord

 

Yes I'm a few months late with this one but it doesn't matter: Assistert Sjølmord (Assisted Suicide) is a new band from Oslo, Norway, which started (according to the legend) when Erling (bass), who lives in Copenhagen, went to his home-town to celebrate his birthday with some old friends he had not seen for a while because of the lockdowns and ended up recording two tracks with Martin (drums) and Siggen (vocals). The three of them have played in a lot of punk bands before that and were actually together in Jenkem Warriors. Siggen also played in Negativ and Erling plays in Indre Krig (go check their killer demo from last year) and played in Terror Stat. It also looks like Siggen and Martin are involved in a new project called Draumar (coming soon).
 
 
  Two tracks only that's not much, but that's more than enough to convince me that Assistert Sjølmord is exactly the kind of band I can easily fall in love with. It's very fast, it's straight to the point, it's well-played and it's lead by kick-ass female vocals (I'm a sucker for hardcore punk bands with female vocals). Described by Erling like "UK82 songs with a '77 sound and USHC energy or something", these two songs definitely got a lot of energy and I would draw comparisons with bands like S.O.H, Krimewatch, Judy And The Jerks, Indre Krig (a bit obvious but yes), Exit Order and any killer fast punk band with female vocals from the last years indeed. The idea behind the band is "to "revisit"the punk we grew up on" from a musical point of view and "we felt a typical naive early 80s punk band name would be the right fit for it", well it seems that the mission is accomplished for now!
 
The great news is that another demo has been recorded, discussions with a label for a physical release have started and a few gigs are already booked... so keep your eyes and ears open for Assistert Sjølmord because you're gonna get a lot more from them this year, and I'm really looking forward to it!
