19 years old he was picked out to be theirlive guitarist from 1996 to 1999. Playing black metal in Satyricon, there werenever a question, death metal was Død's major passion and in 1998 he startedworking on material for his own death metal band. His friend Tchort(Emperor,Carpathian Forest), who also played bass in Satyricon, shared the same passionand BloodRedThrone was officially a band.

Shortly after, the young and talented bass playerErlend Caspersen was found and the search for a drummer and singer could start!There weren't any suitable drummers around in our hometown at that time, butafter a while we got in touch with Freddy Bolsø, who just moved to town tostudy! He was just the drummer we were looking for and it was amazing to startrehearsing on our material.

We soon wanted to record a demo and we invited RonnieThorsen from Trail of Tears to help us out with the vocals. This became theDeathmix 2000 demo, which led to a record deal with Hammerheart Records.

Our debut album had to be recorded, but we stillhadn't found a permanent singer. Just 3 weeks before entering studio, we askedlong time friend, Mr.Hustler, to join the band. He had never played in a bandor done some vocals ever before, but Monument of Death became a fuckin' killerdebut album, released in 2001! The limited edition included a package called'The Suicide Kit', which not only contained the actual album, but also aprinted razor blade and a poster. The kits were hand numbered in the bandmember's own blood!

We never did any live shows with this line up andFreddy Bolsø moved back to his hometown and we had to find a new drummer. Espen"Beist" Antonsen(The Sickening) joined the band and we recordedAffiliated With The Suffering in 2002 and this was our last album onHammerheart Records. We got on our first European tour and we did two of themwith this line-up and we played at the Inferno Festival and some otherfestivals in this period.

Nothing lasts forever and Beist left the band when wewere about to record our first album on Earache Records. But we got someincredible help from Bernt Moen and we managed to record our darkest and mostintense album ever, Altered Genesis, released in 2005.

After this release, Mr. Hustler had to make a choicedue to his work commitments, so he left the band as friends and a new friend ofus, Vald, was handed the microphone. We also had to find a permanent drummer,and this led us to Anders Haave. He joined the band in 2006 and we went on anew European tour and did several live shows until we got in studio to recordour fourth album, Come Death, on Earache Records. It was released in 2007 andby the end of the year, we did a new European tour with Divine Heresy.

2008 was a slow year for us on the live front, but wewrote the material for our 5th album, Souls of Damnation and released this in2009! This also featured a cool DVD.

After this release, Tchort decided to have a break tofocus on his family and work. Nevertheless, the band went out on their firstheadliner European Tour in October 2009 with Hate. This was the first tour withonly Død on guitar.

Anders decided to leave the band late 2009. He wasreplaced with the Swedish wonder boy, Emil Wiksten.

Later, we decided to bring a friend of us, Ivan"Meathook" Gujic, as a session guitar player while Tchort still hadhis break. The first gig with this line-up was a festival in Italy we headlined.In September 2010 we also played in Mexico for the first time. This was aspecial event for us, especially since Mr. Hustler did the vocals after leavingthe band 5 years ago, since Vald couldn't make this trip.

One of BRT's highlights happened at the end of 2010,when we went on tour with Dimmu Borgir and Enslaved across the states andCanada!

A lot of things happened in 2011. Ivan Gujic became a permanentmember of BloodRedThrone. We signed with US label Sevared Records and releasedour 6th full length album, Brutalitarian Regime. We returned to Mexico and alsoplayed several summer festivals. We toured the US/Canada again with Grave for 4weeks.

Unfortunately, ErlendCaspersen and Vald decided to leave due to family and work related issuesOctober 2011. They were replaced by Ole Bent Madsen on bass guitar and Bolt onvocals December 2011.

The new line-up went back toEurope and toured with Suffocation in March 2012.

June 2012, BRT played Hellfestwith major acts like Ozzy, Motley Crue and Guns n Roses.

In November 2012, BRT headlinedtheir first Norwegian tour…

May 2013, the 7thstudio album, simply entitled BloodRedThrone, was released, also celebratingthe band’s 15th anniversary. Followed up with a headliner EuropeanTour in May/June.
