BLACK DEBBATH BIOGRAPHY
Black Debbath is a stoner rock/heavy rock band from Oslo, Norway. Black Debbath started off as a Black Sabbath tribute band, but evolved into a humorous rock band. They are known for their funny shows and lyrics, but the band is also focusing on making good, classic rock. Black Debbath have released five albums and several singles and EPs and have toured Norway on a regular basis since their formation in 1999. Black Debbath is associated with the label duplex and bands such as Gartnerlosjen, Lyd, Bare Egil Band and many other Norwegian humour music acts.
Their debut album won the Norwegian "Spellemannsprisen" (the Norwegian Grammy) in 1999, but the price was soon taken away from them. It turned out that price-presenter Kristopher Schau (from The Cumshots) is a close friend of the band and intentionally announced the wrong winner. The real winner of the metal-category this year was The Kovenant for their album Nexus Polaris.
Black Debbath will released their fifth album in the autumn of 2007. The concept this time is a tribute to women.
