Biografia : Scariot

SCARIOT is an Norwegian metal act formed back in 1997 by Daniel Olaisen (BloodRedThrone, Cobolt 60 and x-Satyricon). There's been several line-up changes and setbacks during our existence, but the faith in our music is the reason for us still being around.

Our style has also progressed since the beginning, but we still include many elements from various metal genres. We think every metalhead will find something interesting in our music. SCARIOT is a mix of influences the five members have had throughout the years from the death/black metal scene to the more progressive/power metal, combining elements from bands like Death, Sanctuary, In Flames, Nevermore, Pantera and many more. We provide quality and originality as well as our own sound!

SCARIOT was signed to Demolition Records. They released our debut album “Deathforlorn” in September 2000. This album got great reviews in magazines all over the world, but Demolition wasn't able to support us, and both the promotion and the upcoming tour failed. It's common sense that a new band has to be promoted well and play live in order to get their name reckon. Anyway, they decided to let us enter the studio to record our second effort, “Tongueless God”. We had finished the recording when Demolition made a sudden turn. They gave us an unacceptable choice which resulted in a mutual break-up. So there we were with a great album in hand and a studiobill we had to pay on ourselves. The album was never released...

In January 2002, SCARIOT got a new vocalist. We"ve recorded a couple demos with this new and final line-up, and our lates demo, “Pushing For Perfection”, really shows the quality and potential in Scariot!
