In September 2006 Mistur participated on the metalsampler Metalmessage Vol.III, with the title track from the demo 'Skoddefjellet'. The coverart was done by Kris Verwimp and the CD is sold out.
It all started as a metal project by Espen Bakketeig and Andre Raunehaug. Seeing the opportunity to do live shows, the band increased to a full line-up.
Among the members in Mistur, you will find lead guitarist Strom from the earlier legendary black metal band Windir. The lineup: Odne on screams, Espen Bakketeig on synth and clean vocal, Stian Bakketeig on lead guitar, Andre Raunehaug on rhythm guitar and clean vocal, Ole Hartvigsen on bass and Bengt Roneid on drums.
Mistur did some great live shows in 2007, at a packed club Maiden in Oslo and in front of 300 at the Stoy festival in Sogndal. Mistur headlined also Fres festival 07 in Fresvik. More live shows are to be announced in 2009.
In September 2008 Mistur recorded the full-length debut album in the famous Akkerhaugen Studio just outside Notodden, Norway. The album is produced by Mistur and Thorbjorn Akkerhaugen and it is mastered by Peter in De Betu at Tailor Maid, Sweden. It is a full produced masterpiece containing 7 songs with a raw black metal sound. Thorbjorn Akkerhaugen has produced albums for bands such as Emperor, Zyklon and Windir. The Belgian coverartist Kris Verwimp has created an exclusive oil painting for the album. He has done artwork for bands such as Thyrfing and Old Mans Child.
Kris Verwimp's masterpiece is a viking motive painted in oil. The landscape is taken from the place Kaupanger in Sogndal, on the vestside of Norway. The fjord with the viking ships is the famous fjord called Sognefjorden. This is the place where Mistur originally come from.

WAY better than the second album

[@rachskald]

And the last part of this song is pure prog. I like how they interweave so many different styles and atmospheres, without making it sound forced. But to each his own.

[@brianforbes1538]

This is in my top 5 albums of the last decade
Every song is perfection, and totally different from anything i had heard before
The low resolution pic is very 8 bit 80s nostalgic

i liked the sognametal sound of the demo more... they still have it, but they have swayed more to a black metal style with sognametal sounds

[@YourLocalPhoneMations]

[@RyanJVH]

@Dephect60 Do the right thing and buy the album. It will also sound A LOT better on the album versus torrenting it or listening to it on youtube. Be a man and buy the album!
