BIG CITY is a Norwegian melodic heavy metal project. The members are
between 30 and 47 years old and have tons of experience in the music
industry. They have been playing or still play in extreme bands as
Satyricon and Blood Red Throne, but also the up and coming prog metal
band Withem and many other bands. The reason for Big City is songwriter
Daniel Olaisen and his ideas throughout the last 10 years. He wanted to
put his 80’s heavy riffs in a band and find suitable people to join him.
Bandmate, Frank Ørland, also played with Daniel in Scariot (1999-2005,
prog / thrash / heavy band featuring Communic members) and was an
obvious choice to bring to Big City. Frank Nordeng Røe (Withem,
Marathon, session drummer for Circus Maximus) on drums, was found when
searching on internet. The band was completed with Jan Le Brandt on
vocals and Geir Inge Olsen on session bass guitar. The debut album,
Wintersleep, was recorded and released digitally through Mayhem Music.
Some promo CD's were printed by the band and distributed worldwide, but
never officially released as an album. Big City never did any live
shows, but continued to write material for another album. Miguel Pereira
(Withem) was recruited as their new permanent bass player.
Meanwhile,
Greek label Rock of Angels wanted to sign the band and release the new
album & Wintersleep as bonus on a double CD. Now they had a new singer and in the end of 2020 they will release a new studio album via Frontiers Records.
