August 31, 2017, 7 years ago
Having spent the last year or so using session bass players for their live appearances, Norwegian black metal veterans, Ragnarok, have today announced that bassist Rammr (Jordskipstyrann, Elvarhøi) has joined the band on a full-time, permanent basis.
"Originally it was our intention to use a session bassist going forward," explains founder and frontman Jontho Panthera, one of Norway's most iconic black metal drummers, who recently switched roles to become the band's vocalist. "However, during the shows he did with us, Rammr's dedication to his craft, and to Ragnarok itself, became very evident to everyone. He fits in perfectly with the rest of the band, which includes Bolverk on guitars and drummer Daniel Minge (Dauden), not only on stage, but also on a personal level. Most importantly he understands our ideology, and what Ragnarok expects of its members, and after yet another incredible performance from him at Kaltenbach Open Air recently I thought it was right to make him a full member of the horde!"
Ragnarok are set to hit the road in September, for a thirteen-date tour of Latin America, where the band has a considerable following. Find their itinerary here.
