Norway's TEODOR TUFF To Release Soliloquy Album On June 5th Via Nightmare Records; Guests Include Members Of ANNIHILATOR, FREAK KITCHEN, MERCENARY
April 19, 2012, 12 years ago
Norway's TEODOR TUFF is a band in constant change. Upon the departure of three members in 2010, the band was joined by Christer, Rayner and Terje Harøy, lead guitarist, bass player and vocalist, respectively. Christer and Rayner are brothers, and also happen to play in DIVIDED MULTITUDE. Terje is their cousin.
The band's sound has now changed dramatically, and Teodor Tuff comes across as a pure metal band with its own distinct style; guitarist Knut Lysklætt's inspiration from classical music, rock opera, musicals and even Middle East folk songs, is mixed with the Harøy clan's thoroughbred metal. As a result, Teodor Tuff's second album - Soliloquy - is a truly exiting release.
The following very impressive guest performers have contributed to the album: Jeff Waters (ANNIHILATOR), Mattias IA Eklundh (FREAK KITCHEN), Martin Buus (MERCENARY), Eskild Kløften (Divided Multitude) Jacob Hansen and Tonje Harøy. The four guitar solos in rapid succession on the epic track 'Heavenly Manna', where Harøy, Buus, Waters and Eklundh do their best to outdo each other, must be certainly be up there among the greatest guitar solos of all time.
Soliloquy was mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, Mercenary, PESTILENCE). The cover photographs were shot by Frode Pederson and the cover art and cover design were created by Mattias Norén.
