Black Debbath

Black Debbath is a stoner rock/heavy rock band from Oslo, Norway. Black Debbath started off in 1999 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. The band is known for its legendary concerts and has performed all over the country. With their album Welcome to Norway (2001), with lyrics in English, Black Debbath began to get international acclaim and in 2004 the band had it’s biggest commercial success so far with the album The Fifth Power. The release gave them a new nomination for the Grammy Award. Their preliminary final release is a compilation release that celebrates and summarizes Black Debbath 10 years.
