ENDEZZMA’s first release, the “Alone” MCD, appeared five years ago, and the 2012 release of the full length album “Erotik Nekrosis” on Agonia Records on the 28th November in Europe (5th February in the USA), was delayed by a series of setbacks, culminating in the tragic and untimely death of Nefas earlier 2012 year. With its cold atmosphere straight out of the original Norwegian Black Metal scene, and its eerie, seductive compositions, “Erotik Nekrosis” is a tribute to Nefas whose contribution to the scene cannot be underestimated.
The “Erotik Nekrosis” has a line up of musicians who between them can lay claim to decades of experience garnered in the earlier and darker recesses of the Norwegian Black Metal scene and which includes Morten Shax on vocals, the late Trondr Nefas (URGEHAL, BEASTCRAFT, VULTURE LORD) and Mattis Malphas (BEASTCRAFT) on guitars, Sregroth (URGEHAL, ÅSMEGIN) on bass and Carl Balam (NATTEFROST, ASTAROTH, ex INFERNAL) on drums. It was recorded at the Slaughterhaus Studio in Oslo and crafted by the Hollywood producer Robert Blix. Artwork is by the Kazakhstani artist Alexandr Balinets. Track listing for “Erotik Nekrosis” as follows:
1) Junkyard Oblivion
2) Enigma of the Sullen
3) Against Them All
4) Swansong of a Giant
5) Hollow
6) Krossing Rubikon
7) Soulcleansing
Commenting on “Erotik Nekrosis” and the delays that dogged the album, including the tragic and untimely death of Trondr Nefas, founder and frontman Shax had this to say: “After delays that almost seem to have been a series of malicious and morbid curses conspiring against us, it is with understandable relief that we can finally get “Erotik Nekrosis” out there. The reasons for the delay are legion, and it is probably best just to say that the path of darkness is a troubled and mysterious journey through life and there’s an intensity to the sickness that accompanies it which can only be dealt with over short periods of time. Sadly, too, it is impossible to predict the season that Death will gather its harvest, and we lost Trondr Nefas - our close friend, our brother and our guitarist, under tragic circumstances. It’s been 5 years since we released “Alone” so it’s definitely time for ENDEZZMA to turn the page on what went before and move forward. I know many people have been waiting and waiting for this album, and some probably gave up along the way, but I hope we will not let down all of the patient morbid souls. This album is for all of the individuals that stayed true to the band, all of you who never stopped waiting. “Erotik Nekrosis” is dedicated to Death and to you Trondr!”
Later, the band have debuted their first official video. The video, for “Junkyard Oblivion”, the opening track from the “Erotik Nekrosis” album and featuring guest appearances by URGEHAL’s Enzifer and BEASTRAFT’s Sorath Northgrove, was produced by the Effektor film company and was directed by ENDEZZMA frontman Morten Shax and R.M.

The band was in the studio filming a video for “Junkyard Oblivion”, the opening track from the album. Morten Shax, the band’s frontman had this to say about the video: “We chose this particular track because of all the tracks on the album it feels like a link between the music of ENDEZZMA a few years ago, and the ENDEZZMA of today. The whole idea of a video was something new for us, it’s not a medium we had worked with before, and it proved to be a very interesting process. We are satisfied with the shoot, and the eventual outcome looks promising. After a weekend of determined effort and some very hard work I hope we managed to create something that was as morbid and memorable as we had originally envisaged”. It is anticipated that the video will be ready to release on the 1st of December.
“Erotik Nekrosis” can be pre-ordered from Agonia Records. More information about ENDEZZMA can be found on the band’s Facebook page.

Erotik Nekrosis is due to be releasedon the 28th Novemberin Europe and 5th February in the USA. The band has a line-up of musicians who between them can lay claim to decades of experience garnered in the earlier and darker recesses of the Norwegian Black Metal scene and which includes Morten Shax on vocals, the late Trondr Nefas (Urgehal, Beastcraft, Angst Skvadron, Vulture Lord) and Mattis Malphas (Beastcraft) on guitars, Sregroth (Urgehal, Åsmegin) on bass and Carl Balam(Nattefrost, Astaroth, ex Infernal) on drums. It was recorded at the Slaughterhaus Studio in Oslo and crafted by the producer Robert Blix. Artwork is by the Kazakhstani artist Alexandr Balinets.
Track listing for Erotik Nekrosisis is as follows:
Born from the depths of the darkest realm, inundated by the cruel wintry atmosphere ENDEZZMA rises from the core of black metal propitious to the spillage of bloody musical notes in an erotic seduction of tenebrous melodies and screaming instruments. Founded in the bosom of Norwegian somber environment in which they inspired it´s dark energy that reflects an overwhelming morbid force, immersed in a spiritual experience that binds them with the lost but not forgotten Trondr Nefas and with the presence of Morten Shax´s band Dim Nagel also lost in the middle of a relentless industry and band´s usual vicissitudes.
It was only after some time, after Dim Nagel long sleep period in 2006 that Morten Shax decided that the rest was over and the time to play again had come. Shax recruited Trondr Nefas to unleash the riffing monster and in 2007, on the way to their first festival gig, he changed the name of the band to the current ENDEZZMA.
Now and after the long waiting due to many factors and due to the unfortunate decease of Trondr Nefas, they bring us a delightfully disturbing experience, they bring us the beauty of frightening melodies and creepy complex compositions of black metal in a mix of atmosphere and old school roaring guitars, in a journey through the unknown, through death; they bring us “Erotik Nekrosis” the majestic and "earotic" seven track album. The album starts with the strongest and heaviest song “Junkyard Oblivion”, this song brings the best of the band it has a cold ambience of raging thunders and dark atmosphere and after the short intro a powerful and fast rhythm hits you like a punch in the face with a sick drumming and strong riffing that later mutates to a slower rhythm with a catchy guitar line with a nice solo. “Enigma of the Sullen” is another ravishing song with a crazy bass phrase, Shax uses screaming vocals altering with a more clean voice, it is very melodic with a background organ sound that pulls out your attention and this song is in my opinion the most beautiful of the album. I’m not going to talk about every song of the album and I’m going to let you enjoy this full-length by yourself but in general all songs are great and all have a special characteristic, I prefer to analyze this work as a whole and this is a unique black metal album with many variations and styles this is Norwegian black metal with a special blend. “Erotik Nekrosis” transpires in perfection the exit of this world in a beautiful constellation of perish songs and the entrance of ENDEZZMA in a new time, in a new journey… this turned out to be one of my favorite’s releases of the year, it was worth the waiting.
I leave you with Morten Shax´s words:
It’s been 5 years since we released Alone so it’s definitely time for ENDEZZMA to turn the page on what went before and move forward. I know many people have been waiting and waiting for this album, and some probably gave up along the way, but I hope we will not let down all of the patient morbid souls. This album is for all of the individuals that stayed true to the band, all of you who never stopped waiting. Erotik Nekrosis is dedicated to Death and to you Trondr!”
One melee with the words, ideas and its paradoxes... albuns that are news, the reviews at "HeavyHardMetalmania.net", always with its watermark, Pedro Ribeiro, with love for beer... sorry,music from an early age, he studied piano and singing from 7 to 14 years, then, devoted himself to the study of the guitar for 5 years. "The wisdom is found in the extremes, all extreme Metal here!"

ENDEZZMA offers up the cold atmosphere that permeated the sounds that came out of the original Norwegian Black Metal scene and combines them with eerie, seductive compositions to form the epitome of nekro requiems. The ENDEZZMA of today can trace its roots back to 1992 with frontman Morten Shax’s band DIM NAGEL, which, as is often the case with bands, went through the usual vicissitudes of bankrupt labels and states of hibernation. It wasn’t until 2006 that Shax decided the time was right to start playing again and, recruiting URGEHAL’s Trondr Nefas, set about transforming his old band. On the way to their first festival gig in 2007 Shax changed the name of the band to ENDEZZMA, and the transformation was well and truly under way.
Commenting on “Erotik Nekrosis” and the delays that dogged the album, including the tragic and untimely death of Trondr Nefas, founder and frontman Shax had this to say: “After delays that almost seem to have been a series of malicious and morbid curses conspiring against us, it is with understandable relief that we can finally get “Erotik Nekrosis” out there.
