THE BEAST

Rockshots Records is proud to announce Norwegian solo metal artist Anniken debut album "Climb Out Of Hell" DIGITAL - https://bfan.link/climb-out-of-hell​ CD - https://bit.ly/AnnikenCD​ VINYL - https://bit.ly/AnnikenVINYL​ Anniken has been a part of the Norwegian heavy metal scene for years with her band Darkest Sins, the studio project Ana – Metal for Charity, as well as being a part of her husband Marius Danielsen’s trilogy Legend of Valley Doom, both in the studio and with the live band. While in Darkest Sins she opened for bands such as Anthrax, Jorn, TNT, and UDO along with Legend of Valley Doom she has worked with legendary musicians such as Ralf Scheepers, Amanda Somerville, Roland Grapow, Matt Barlow, Doogie White, Jennifer Batten, and also actor John Rhys-Davies from the Lord of the Rings and Indiana Jones movies. Today, for the album's release day, Anniken is sharing a new Video for "No Name" track "The last song I wrote for the album. The entire song is based on the title No Name. We wrote No Name as a placeholder in the studio plans, since I hadn’t written the song yet. And then I just decided that it would, in fact, make a good title. So, I wrote the lyrics for it and took it to the studio where the song was born. I guess it can be described as Fame meets Supernatural", adds Anniken. Writing her own songs and having a profound love of lyrics, Anniken is now progressing into her solo endeavours. Anniken's debut album "Climb Out of Hell" features nine tracks, a few of them co-written with her husband Marius Danielsen. It is a varied metal album that is melodic, raw, and catchy with different types of songs for every kind of metal fan. Some slow, some fast, most of them heavy. Some of the songs have a deeper meaning to them, while others are just exactly what you think they are. Anniken adds: "Firstly, I want people to enjoy the music. Secondly, I want them to notice the lyrics. I love listening to music while reading them and trying to understand the stories that are being told. I hope that the listeners feel the same way. I like to also add, that some of the songs were written a while back. I had others that didn’t make the cut. Overall, it is fun to write with other artists and see how the songs turned out both in the studio and live. But writing with others also means compromising. And that is one of the main reasons behind starting my solo project. I wanted to show what I could do, without the guys (yes, the bands I’ve played with always consisted of all guys and me). It is, unfortunately, easy to underestimate female artists in metal. At least, that is my experience. There aren’t as many women within the genre as there are men. Very often I experienced that people just assumed everything was written by the men in the group. I don’t mind being “just the singer”, but I would love to show the world that I am, in fact, more." "Climb Out of Hell" will be available on May 13, 2022.
