Biography
Mecalimb is a metal band from Norway with roots in thrash, death, groove and heavy metal.
The band has existed since December 2005, but the lineup has changed a lot over the years (each cd release until now has been with a new vocalist and lead guitarist). As of 2016, the only original member of the band is the guitarist Ole Olsen, who also has been the main songwriter through the band's existence. The other members are: Robert Arntsen (vocals, 2015-), Marius Vedal (drums, 2007-), Tom Angel (guitar 2013-) and Dag Kopperud (bass and backup vocals, 2006-).
The band has released three albums, the first one, "Mechanical Recipe" was released in 2009, under Helping Hand Records.
The second studio album was released in 2011, "Bound To Fall". This was released under Rising Records (London).
In August 2014 the band released the "Chaos EP", and the following year started recording the third full-length album, "XIII", which came out December 2015, at Mecalimb's 10th year anniversary.
In 2017, Mecalimb signed with Wormholedeath for the re-release of the album "XIII" and the upcoming fourth album.
These releases are also available on Spotify, iTunes and numerous online stores. Mecalimb got playtime on norwegian radio during P3's program "Pyro", where Asbjørn Slettemark, a well-known music critic in Norway, described Mecalimb as one of the best up-and-coming metal bands of it's time (this was in 2009). The band has played a lot of concerts during the years, biggest venues being John Dee, Oslo (3. place at the Emerganza tournament) Glassheim, Jevnaker, and Oak Metal Fest, and have been supporting bands like Tankard, Enslaved, Entrails, Susperia, Witchhammer and Circus Maximus. Mecalimb has also played in Spain (Hard'n'Heavy Festival), in 2011.
