History (2/5)
We spend eight
months before we found another singer. His name is Eirikur
Hauksson, and comes from Iceland. He just blew our minds when we
first teamed up. He moved to Norway, and we started to work
seriously together. We made a two-song demo and went to London to
get a record-deal. We must have visited 40 or 50 companies during
the week we spend there. We went home empty-handed. Of coarse no
one would offer us a deal with a two-song demo. But that didn't
stop us.
In Feb.-87 we got
a deal with a local recording studio to be. We helped to build the
studio, and in return we would get a free recording of a whole
album. We recorded our first album "Another Return" in
summer-87, but we didn't get a deal until the next year. Actually
we had several offers. I remember we were thrilled to choose
between record companies. Anyway, we made a one-album deal with
Active records and a five-album deal with Metal Blade US.
