Forged in brimstone and heavy riffs, Håndgemeng deliver a doom ’n’ roll spectacle that drags you from the depths of hell to the edge of the cosmos.
Five damned dudes, banished from the pits of hell, smelling of brimstone and cheap beer. Brought up on heavy metal and rock n’ roll brewed together with a bad attitude and devil worship, and from that cauldron Håndgemeng emerges guitars in hand. Get ready to experience the doom n’ roll extravaganza as they play to entertain the devil himself! Riff after riff after riff Håndgemeng will take you from the depths of hell to the farthest reaches of space. Together we will escape prison planet Earth, if just for a little while.
In 2023, we signed with the American record label Ripple Music, one of the world’s leading purveyors in stoner, doom, heavy psych, and heavy rock. Our debut album "Ultraritual" received excellent reviews both nationally and internationally. That same year, we signed an endorsement deal with Orange amplifiers. Since then, we have toured across Norway and Europe, sharing the stage with some of Norway's most outstanding bands and festivals.
We released our sophomore album ¨Satanic Panic Attack¨ in march 2025,' No longer constrained by genre or expectations, this album presents a more self-defined sound and narrative, as we’ve returned to our earliest influences for inspiration.
'Satanic Panic Attack' is a concept album that explores the fear and mass hysteria of the 1980s, often referred to as 'The Satanic Panic.' This phenomenon was marked by the fear of heavy metal music, devil worship, and accusations of subliminal messages that were perceived as a threat to society. This album serves as a powerful tribute to the darkness and hysteria of a time when the fear of heavy metal peaked.
