BIOGRAPHY 2013


Nils Ivar Martila founded the band in Bergen in the nineties. After recording “more sombre than life” they went touring for a few years in Norway (and Sweden).


In 2001 the band broke up, right before releasing a full length album. With a complete new line-up Martila started up the band again in Oslo.


In 2009 the touring began. In 2010 Claymords released the album “Theories Written Black” After good reviews on the album, and passing 50 gigs (since 2009) the band was positioning them as strong live act. Claymords has toured Moscow, St.Petersburg, Finland (two tours), Sweden and Norway.


On stage the band has had snakes, flames, poet and female duet partners (growling/clean). Intense energy, blistering guitar work and high quality entertainment is what you can expect at a Claymords gig. Claymords has appeared in every major media in Norway, known for being a different and bolder act.


Claymords signed a worldwide deal with Wormholedeath/Aural Music and recorded the long awaited second album “SCUM OF THE EARTH” at Realsound studio in Parma (ITALY) during October 2012. Album launch is set for April the 27th with album release party at Svalbar in Spitsbergen in the very far north.
