Cor Scorpii is a new band formed by Windir keyboard
player Gaute Refsnes. After Ulcus and Windir joined forces, Refsnes
continued making music with a somewhat different approach, resulting in
plans of a project of his own. However it wasn't until the tragic death of
Windir founder Terje "Valfar" Bakken and the following farewell
concert, Cor Scorpii arose with a complete line-up. The band currently
consists of six members. Gaute Refsnes, Stian Bakketeig (lead guiter) and Jørn
Holen (drums, currently also in Vreid) have all been part of the
renowned bands Windir and Ulcus, while Rune Sjøthun (rythm guitar) and Inge
Jonny Lomheim (bass) have been a part of the local metal scene for a
long time. The line-up is completed by the hellish screams and presence of
Thomas S. Øvstedal.
Musically, Cor Scorpii incorporate different styles with emphasis on
melodies and aggression. The music has some influences from both
classical and folk music, combined with the atmospheres of Norwegian extreme
metal. The lyrical concept deals with the darker sides of existence and
the human mind.
In july 2005 Cor Scorpii entered Studio 1184 (Vreid) to record the
drums for their upcoming demo entitled Attergangar. The rest of the music
came to life in Espen Bakketeig's Amla Metal Studio (Mistur). The demo
was mixed at studio 1184 by Stig Ese Eliassen and Cor Scorpii in
november, and released at the end of 2005. More to come..
