As a result of their addiction for heavy metal music from the glorious eighties, drummer Jort Visser and bass player Wilco v/d Meij founded METHUSALEM at the end of 2000. The mission was clear, bring eighties styled metal with a modern and progressive sound to the forefront in this age. Why? Because they believe heavy-, power-, thrash metal isn’t old fashioned or unoriginal but a style that evaluates and will always be the most important source of inspiration for all kinds of metal.
Due to the stunning guitar work of guitar hero’s Dennis Hoekstra and Dirk Jan Veenstra, the now and then extremely high pitched clean but so powerful vocals of vocalist Harold de Vries and the fast, steady and rocking rhythm parts of Wilco and Jort, METHUSALEM accomplish their mission damn well! It is no surprise that the press is very excited about this progressive eighties styled metal band. Their first MCD ‘Sentenced to Rock’ gets critics as: ‘The guys from Methusalem sound like they just stepped out of the eighties to “Bring you the Bible of Steel”!. I cannot believe that nobody has signed these guys yet, since they are so obviously talented’ (Vampire Magazine), and ‘Easily the best demo I have heard in the past 10 years, rating = 10 out of 10 (The Metal Gospel).
METHUSALEM’s live effort is 969% which resulted in a strong live reputation. According to the Vampire Magazine: ‘Methusalem really surprised me with a superb show. With no doubt I say this was the best gig I saw that day. Every dude on stage had a smile from first till the last second and the movement on stage made sure they freak on the stuff they play. According to 3voor12: The audience sings every song along and supports their Dutch metal warriors. These guys are so talented and give a great show with an 80's vibe. The atmosphere is good, the music is great and the audience is hot. Awesome gig! In 2005 METHUSALEM toured successful as support for BLAZE BAYLEY in a night liner trough Europe and played in cities like Rome, Milan and Brussels. This experience made the band stronger and better.
METHUSALEM has planned to record their debut album early 2009 at the Graveland studio in ‘s-Graveland, the Netherlands. For this album the band decided to work with producer Arno Krabman. Arno has done a lot of great projects, (Autumn, A new hope, DejaFuse, Greyline, Def P) and his vision about recording and producing is the most important reason for METHUSALEM to work with him. Which record company has the guts to help this band to the next level in their development?
Stay tuned, stay metal!
