Biography

The Sons Of Crom raised their banner for the first time in January 2014. In Haparanda, the northernmost part of Sweden, Janne Posti and Iiro Sarkki joined forces to fulfil their vision of epic metal tunes with grandiose lyrics. Drawing inspiration from Nordic mythology, heroic cinema and Quorthon's undying legacy, this two-piece tour de force carries the torch of honour and glory into the murky gloom of future.

The band's first recording, the Victory EP, was released on January 10th of 2014. The CD pressing sold out in a matter of days.

In April 2014, Sons Of Crom finished the recording, mixing and mastering process of their debut full-length album, Riddle Of Steel. In May 2014, Sons Of Crom engaged in a co-operation with eminent French label Debemur Morti Productions. A two-track teaser digital EP entitled Conqueror was released in July 2014.

On September 12th, the 7-track, 42-minute full-length album Riddle Of Steel was released on CD and LP. The material is very varied with both anthemic hymns, thrashing brutality, soaring atmospheres and danceable folk tunes present, all with the valiant and magniloquent aura intact. The album received very positive reviews from the press, and garnered spots on several annual "best of"-lists.

Currently, the Sons are working on the follow-up album to Riddle Of Steel. The recording sessions are scheduled to start in late December 2014.
