Dead Trooper was formed in 2002 in Oslo, Norway, by Morten Müller (DEATH INJECTOR, TROLLFEST, METAL MILITIA, ex-GRIMFIST) and Birger Larsen (GROTESQUE HYSTERECTOMY, Metal Militia, Death Injector, ex-Grimfist). The release of the debut full-length album Cynisist in 2009 and the Sickening EP in 2010 earned the band critical acclaim from both fans and press. Today’s lineup combines impressive musical skills with an abundance of enthusiasm, charisma and high energy that produces what Dead Trooper themselves call “groovy, aggressive thrash metal”. The presence of Morten on vocals and guitars, Andreas Stenvoll (BLODSPOR, ex-TROLL) on bass and vocals and Jon Eirik Bokn (ZEROZONIC, BREED, AUTUMN INSPIRATION) on drums, gives an indication of the amount of experience both in the studio and on stage that these musicians bring with them.

Dead Trooper will appear at a special launch concert for Erector at the Cafe Fiasco in Oslo, Norway, on October 25th.
