BLACK METALLERS WRATH PASSION SIGN LICENCE AGREEMENT WITH PSYCHO 78s CO-ED ROLLER DERBY TEAM

WRATH PASSION, the Black Metal band formed by Daniel Markussen in Lofoten, Norway in 2007, has signed a licensing deal with the PSYCHO 78s, the American, no-holds barred co-ed Roller Derby team from New Jersey.   Started in 2009 by Razor De Rockefeller, the 78’s have grown to become one of the most exciting, hard-hitting and crowd pleasing teams in the world of modern Roller Derby, specialising in full-contact games with no penalties and no clock-stops, and one simple rule “do unto others as you'd have done unto you”.

Commenting on what at first sight seems like an unlikely hook up, Coach Spooky, Head Trainer for the PSYCHO 78s said: “Our no-bullshit take on the game and love of brutality on the track has made us a one of a kind team, and a team that WRATH PASSION fits perfectly with.  The 78s are hard hitting and in your face, and the music of Wrath Passion is the perfect backdrop for the high pace, the bloodshed, and the roar of the crowd”.

Markussen, for whom WRATH PASSION is a vehicle for expressing his unique take on life, was himself a little surprised at the turn of events that led to him sign a license deal that would allow the 78s to use three tracks – “Creatio Ex Nihilo”, “Christian Extermination” and “Black Hole”  on DVD, events, live performances and exhibitions. “The game was completely new to me, and I have to admit that sports don’t particularly interest me as a rule, but I found this brutal and bloody variation of the Roller Derby fucking fun to watch and I was happy to allow the 78s to use WRATH PASSION’s music”. 

Originally formed as a one-man project, WRATH PASSION’s line up today includes, Markussen, who plays all instruments, and vocalist Anton van Niekerk (VERKRAG). Using layers of hidden, or occult, knowledge to create a deeply sinister atmosphere, WRATH PASSION’s music also attracted the attention of film producers 3DT Productions last year,  who used some of the band’s tracks on the soundtrack  to  their Grindhouse Thriller  movie “The Back Room”.  More information about WRATH PASSION can be found here, whilst more info about the PSYCHO 78’s can be found here.

Black Metallers Wrath Passion Feature In Soundtrack Of US Horror Movie

BLACK METALLERS WRATH PASSION FEATURE IN SOUNDTRACK OF US HORROR MOVIE “THE BACK ROOM”

Music by Norwegian Black Metallers WRATH PASSION is featured on the soundtrack of “The Back Room”, the horror film that has recently seen its DVD release in the USA and Canada. Produced by 3DT Productions, “The Back Room” pays homage to the Grindhouse Thrillers popularized in New York City in the 1970′s, and which have recently seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to film makers like Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriquez. The film is a disturbing, gore-filled journey into the mind of a serial killer, whilst the soundtrack uses heavy metal and industrial music from WRATH PASSION as well as CONTROL THE CHAOS and I AM THE MESSENGER to enhance the frightening visual scenes. WRATH PASSION was formed by Daniel Markussen in Lofoten, Norway, on the7th July 2007, as a means to express his own unique understanding of life - the name WRATH PASSION for instance is, according to Markussen, simply an anagram for "Worship Satan". The band’s line up today is formed of two members, Markussen, who plays all instruments, and vocalist Anton van Niekerk (VERKRAG). Layers of hidden, or occult, knowledge are used to create an atmosphere in WRATH PASSION’s music that is blacker and deeper than mere Satanism. But Markussen himself is an intense and committed musician who never loses sight of the fact that it is the music itself that is important, and it is this combination of sinister atmosphere and musical skill that makes WRATH PASSION’s music an ideal choice for the darker genre of film. The band’s involvement with the film started in March of 2010 when 3DT’s Tim Stover, who, having heard some of the band’s music, contacted Markussen about the possibility of using some of WRATH PASSION’s music, and a couple of months later chose the track “Black Hole” to feature in “The Back Room”. The music for “Black Hole” is written and performed by Markussen, whilst the lyrics and vocals are performed by van Niekerk. The track is also expected to be included on an upcoming album from WRATH PASSION.
