Torgeir P. Krokfjord
Torgeir was a reviewer here at Metal Express Radio. After hearing Malmsteen's "Vengeance" on a guitar mag CD at the age of 12 or 13, he began doing hopeless interpretations of Yngwie licks and it just took off from there. After shorter stints at other zines he was snatched to Metal Express Radio in 2003. Alongside Yngwie, Savatage, WASP, Symphony X, Blind Guardian, Emperor, Arch Enemy, In Flames, Opeth, Motörhead, Manowar, and Queensrÿche are a quick list of musical faves. Torgeir is also guitarist in the Heavy/Prog/Thrash outfit Sarpedon.

THERION – Sirius B/Lemuria

Oh yeah, the beast is back! Not literally – it’s neither my ex-girlfriend nor my work colleague with the wide mouth that you might think I’m talking about (luckily, they’re far away) – what I’m …READ MORE

DISARMONIA MUNDI – Fragments Of D-Generation

May 17, 2004 Torgeir P. Krokfjord 0

As far as I’m concerned, this is a new band to the Melodic Death Metal scene, and, signed as they are on the quality-conscious Scarlet label, and having Bjorn “Speed” Strid (of Soilwork fame) on …READ MORE

SILENT SCYTHE – Suffer In Silence

May 3, 2004 Torgeir P. Krokfjord 0

More Swedish Death Metal, and again, not without potential. This genre is a blooming one these days, and although there are very few new musical patterns to be found here, there still is some good …READ MORE

ATROCITY – Atlantis

April 26, 2004 Torgeir P. Krokfjord 0

From time to time you encounter surprises. This album was one of those surprises, and a positive one too! I’d really never listened to Atrocity before receiving this album. In fact, my only exposure to …READ MORE

IN FLAMES / DEVILDRIVER / CALIBAN (Live)

April 21, 2004 Torgeir P. Krokfjord 0

Caliban Due to a very early concert start (a good thing indeed, though), I missed most of Caliban’s performance. Still, what I saw was not bad indeed. They played a relatively Swedish style of Death …READ MORE

HEARSE – Armageddon, Mon Amour

April 6, 2004 Torgeir P. Krokfjord 0

From the relatively deep woods of Sweden (Norway is, of course, the only country with truly deep woods) comes Hearse, a trio performing a death/doom ’n’ roll sort of Metal, and a very promising sort …READ MORE

EDGUY – Hellfire Club

April 6, 2004 Torgeir P. Krokfjord 0

“Never change a winning team” is a common saying. Edguy is outrageously far away from doing that. I’ve had lots of fun with Edguy both live and on record earlier, but I think this is …READ MORE

U.D.O. – Thunderball

”These boots are made for walking”, Dave Mustaine used to sing. Some things in life are just destined to have a certain function, and some people are just destined to do certain things. When some …READ MORE

METALIUM – As One

Metalian is about to conquer the world, and now there’s come some sort of woman into the mix too…. I’m short of bullshit tonight, let’s rock! And rock we will, because it’s a long time …READ MORE

IN FLAMES – Soundtrack To Your Escape

March 17, 2004 Torgeir P. Krokfjord 0

These Swedes rank among my very favourites, and their four or five last albums are all true killers in my opinion. Therefore, I was both very excited and very nervous when I received the album …READ MORE
