Ansur

Ansur is a progressive extreme metal trio from Drammen, Norway with elements from both black and death metal, and 70s progressive rock as well as other genres. Ansur is originally the name of a Norse/Viking rune. Several other organizations also use the name, including a satellite communications company and a maker of horse saddles. The band came originally came together as a black metal-based trio, comprising singer Espen A. R. Aulie, guitarist Torstein J. Nipe and bass player Aslak A. Werme. They came up with a self-titled demo, cut at Lyst & Glede Studios, a year later. Originally only 50 copies were pressed but South Korean label Nerbilous Productions re-issued the demo commercially, re-branding it as Carved In Flesh during 2005....
