Relentless Aggression is an old school thrash metal band from Bergen, Norway. Though this version of the band is only three years old, the band was originally founded in the mid 80s, under the name Hell Awaits (no points for guessing where the first inspiration for the band came from. The original drummer was Erik “Grim” Brødreskift, later more known for drumming with black metal bands like Immortal , Gorgoroth and Borknagar. He also got a festival named after him after his death in 1999, the Hole In The Sky Festival in Bergen.
After nearly thirty years concentrating on other bands and other projects, Finn and Yngve decided to record two of the old songs and release them on vinyl. Some of the original songs were just too good to die of old age! The seven inch single was released in 2018 in a very limited number, and quickly became a collector’s item. The process of recording the old songs was such a great experience that the band decided to continue their walk down the thrash metal path. New songs started to flow, and it soon was clear that a full length album had to be made. The band entered Solslottet studio with engineer and producer Iver Sandøy ( Enslaved ), and recorded three old songs and seven brand new ones. Iver also did all the studio session drumming.
