Technical but never too widdly for extreme metallers, brutal but never unlistenable for prog freaks, it could please just about everyone... or no one?

ANSUR was formed in Drammen, Norway in 2003 as a young three-piece band. The following winter ANSUR recorded "Carved In Flesh", which contained four tracks of more or less traditional black metal with a raw and characteristic sound. It was later released by Nerbilous Productions and Irminsul Recordings on both CD and cassette. The band slowly went through changes musically, and they began to incorporate stronger progressive elements in addition to the black and death metal styles to create something more characteristic and unique.
ANSUR's debut album, "Axiom", was recorded in their own studio in 2005. This album is cold and eerie, with heavy black metal influences and intricate progressive structures. The band was signed by Samoth (of Emperor) to his label Nocturnal Art Productions. "Axiom" was released by NAP/Candlelight Records 18th of September 2006.
ANSUR's sophomore album is called "Warring Factions". This unique album draws influences from varied metal generes as well as 70's progressive rock, in the bands own special way. "Warring Factions" was released 21st of April 2008 on Nocturnal Art/Candlelight, to much applause from the metal press. Now occupied with live playing and writing, the band develops ever closer to their own unmistakable sound.

Hi ! How are you doing ? I hope to interest you for the following:
Imagine:
You are an North-African immigrant to Spain or a South-American trying to get into US who has not much more than a few suitcases, his ability to work hard, willing to pay with slavery and to do dirty work - that no inhabitant of the country you want to go to would even think of considering.
You already travelled a far way and left many good friends behind that you maybe never will see again.
You stumble out of the nearly falling apart bus or the smuggler boat, where you had to pay your income of a half year to that grim looking people with hearts of stone - just to take you aboard.
You are sighing gladly that you survived the travel and now take your first steps in your new home country.
And you are soon aware: You are disrespected, treated badly, your woman is seen as a kind of cheap prostitute, other people's children don't want to play with your children.
You are thinking of your former homecountry with feelings of sentimentality and you know there is no hope: you cannot go back...
The track is called "Spanish Immigrant". A spanish/orchestral/funky/trumpet track
