What happens when five guys from different musical constellation, fuelled with willpower and conviction, come together, leave everything behind and introduce a concept of studio anarchy? In Vonheims case this nourished a creative and groundbreaking period of music making, and the release of the bands second album is now due. It’s fresh, it’s raw and it’s beautiful. This is rock music with an edge and a purpose. Through passionate discussions about music, though with mutual respect for each other’s talent and earlier musical projects, a dream of making a band together emerged. To make this come true everyone had to lay every card on the table – ideas, sketches, riffs, melodies, lyrics and so on. To make it work, everyone needed to think outside the notorious “box”. The band then contacted producer Arne Aasland in Sounderground Studios, and the framework for Vonheim was established. Vonheims front man and lead singer is Erlend Vesteraas. His vocal abilities have so far been a well-kept secret. For a lot of people he is recognized as the bass player in bands like St. Morritz, Leif and The Future and Konradsen. In addition to that, he has been widely used on stage and in studios by artists like Maria Solheim, Narum, Fay Wildhagen and Magne Furuholmen. The rest of the band consists of St?le Gilberg (guitar), Lars Even T?rresen (drums), Kjetil Gilberg (bass) and Eivind Engedal (synth/guitar). After years of songwriting and recording in Sounderground Studios, Vonheims second album is now finished.
