TALES OF DHVARAS - Full Speed Or Nothing

In the early nineties, the metal band, Dhvaras, played what they referred to as "Skogsrock" (Forest rock) in Groruddalen, Norway - inspired by both the beauty and dark rawness of nature itself. All songs were created on classical guitars as the melodic foundation before riffed into a loud and melodic soundscape.

During Fall 2019, its band founder, Kyrre, was able to restore an old DAT tape demo previously believed to be lost forever, and wasn´t too pleased with the sound (and in fact couldn´t cope with it). So he decided to go back to the studio, make the spirit of Dhvaras a last favour, and finally record material that have piled up over the years.
 
Kyrre met with James Regout in September 2019, in London to rehearse and record the songs with former Dhvaras bass player, Ruben Drage De Leon. Those Tales of Dhvaras live on and are no longer buried and dead.

The Norwegian metal band, Tales of Dhvaras, finally released its title song “Full Speed or Nothing” on April 24th (https://ffm.to/fullspeedornothing), shortly after the release of its first single “Geiranger” only a month ago (https://ffm.to/geiranger)

“The sound was made to feel like a punch in the face, and the lyrics are about getting up again”, said Kyrre Riksen, who recently resurrected his band after over two decades of dormancy. In 2012 he carved “FSN”, the abbreviation for Full Speed or Nothing, into the graffiti wall at Gamlebyen Skatepark in Oslo to declare his commitment to building strength through perseverance. Earlier this week he posted numerous Instagram photos of skate spots in Oslo that he defined as his battlefields ( https://www.instagram.com/p/B_LSI9TpVcd/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link ). He said he could have shitty days but as long as he blasted hand plants and airs on his skateboard, he would always regain strength for the next fighting day.
 

He also thinks the title song “Full Speed or Nothing” is more relevant than ever in these times when people should never forget what gives them inner strength and motivation to create and fight again.

“Full Speed or Nothing” was recorded with studio owner Dax Liniere at Puzzle Factory Sound Studios in London with drummer, James Regout and bass player, Ruben Drage De Leon, and is available on all major streaming platforms from April 24th.
