Aspherium released their debut album «The Veil of Serenity» in November 2011. Getting great review scores all over the world. Purchase the album at http://www.aspherium.com


Aspherium was started in 2007 by Marius Skarsem Pedersen on guitars and vocals and Torgeir Lyby Pettersen on bass. They quickly enlisted Bjørn Tore Erlandsen as the drummer.
Winter 2007 they recorded a three song demo called «The lingering animosity». In 2008 the band was writing songs, but due to a back injury, Bjørn Tore could not play drums and all the plans for live shows and promotion of «The lingering animosity» got put on hold.

2009 saw the band going into rehearsal and nailing down the demo songs, as well as complete new tracks. A long time was spent auditioning guitarists for the second guitar position, and finally in autumn 2009, the found their fourth member in guitarist Morten Nielsen.

They played countless live shows, and started recording their debut album in 2010. After trying to get good deals with a label to release the album, the band realized the deals they were offered were so bad that it would be better to release the album themselves. They got a digital distribution deal with Codfather Records, but Aspherium are releasing the physical cd themselves on their website and at concerts.

The band continued to play many live shows, including Belgium as well as countless shows in Norway.

The band is currently working on their second album. Drummer Bjørn Tore recently finished tracking drums at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden, and now the band is working on bass, guitars and vocals. A release date has not been set for the new album, but it will likely be in the second half of 2013.
