SIBIIR

SIBIIR turned a lot of heads with their debut two-track 7” in 2015, and have been polishing their special brand of Norwegian metal ever since: Cold metal with hints of hardcore, heavy, black, death, thrash, sludge, punk - while still sounding recognizably Norwegian. All wrapped up in a modern and compact soundscape, with dystopian and socially critical lyrics. Their debut album Sibiir from 2016, on cred-label Fysisk Format, firmly established them as a vital part of the Norwegian metal scene, making many of the year’s top lists, and hailed by Terrorizer as “a savage”. Three years later, the band released their sophomore album Ropes, which was nominated for Best Metal Album of 2019 at the prestigious Spellemann Awards (Spellemannprisen). Undergang, released in June 2024, shows a band that are able to evolve and innovate while still sounding unmistakably like themselves. Heavy, tight and aggressive, but also dynamic and full of interesting details that make it worth listening to again and again. The album earned SIBIIR their second Spellemann-nomination, for Best Hardrock & Metal Album of 2024. Critically acclaimed shows have given them quite a reputation so far - SIBIIR have appeared at festivals like Wacken, Roskilde, Øya, Summer Breeze and Eurosonic, toured Europe with Kvelertak twice, and played shows with acts like Enslaved, END, Cult Leader, LLNN and Spidergawd.
