New signing: Damokles (NO)

Damokles joins the Vinter family.

Founded late 2019, Damokles might be a fresh edition to the Oslo rock scene, but its members are hardly any greenhorns. With deep roots stemming from metal, experimental rock, sludge and and dark electronica, they have all blown minds in different parts of the underground for decades. Now, in the heart of Oslo, the new found five piece is vigorously carving a sonic path on the intersection between 90s post-hardcore, obscure indie rock and dystopian 80s post-punk – a path filled with toxic hooks and creative madness, wrapped in ferocious intensity. As a results the band has already released five acclaimed singles, which instantly caught the ear of fans from both sides of the rock and metal spectrum, as well as Norway’s national radio broadcaster NRK. 

Damokles will release their debut album, Nights Come Alive, on Vinter Records in 2022.
