Serpent In The Circling Sea

IF YOU WANT COMPLETELY ORIGINAL SOUNDING CLASSIC METAL LOOK NO FURTHER! Formed in the savage winter of 2003 in Cleveland, Ohio Norselaw emerged as an idea to be a nemesis of all the rap or rap/metal at the time. The primary songwriter/guitarist/vocalist who then went by the pseudo name 'Valhalla Ice' wrote black and power metal tinged rap songs where the lyrical focus was not on being 'street' but instead songs that focused on Norse Mythology, Viking history, and drinking and pillaging. He was joined by many other musician's who would come and go and their efforts culminated in a record deal with DMG/Warner Bros. in 2004. However, the label was on shaky ground when the act was signed and just as the c.d. came out the label shut down before any promotion could of been done. Valhalla Ice spent some time in an old school punk rock outfit before returning to metal and adopting the name 'Norselaw' for all his efforts as he was the creative force behind the original effort anyway. Norselaw has synthesized many influences to create a remarkably original sound which can be shown on his new effort 'Serpent In the Circling Sea'. On this latest release Norselaw has shown that he's one of the most cutting edge and elite guitar player/vocalist songwriting triple threats in heavy metal today. Featuring a rhythm section which goes by the names 'Theon Greyjoy' (Bass) and 'Jaime Lannister' (Drums) a solid core of musicians have teamed in order to create some of the most creative and well written compositions in recent time. Norselaw's guitar virtuosity combined with his dynamic and varied vocal attack creates unparalleled energy and excitement within the context of well written songs which have sacrificed nothing in order to illustrate the vocal and guitar playing savagery he demonstrates.
