“Düreforsög are an avant-metal/ rock act from Copenhagen, Denmark. Their name originates from the Danish words for “Scientific Experiments” and “Animal Testing”. Their compositions incorporate intense rhythm sections, unusual chord structures, offbeat arrangements, and creative programming, delivered with surreal vocals. Their musical diversity is influenced by avant-garde legends The Residents, Mr. Bungle, and Melt Banana. Düreforsög formed in Copenhagen, Denmark in August 1994 and their debut live performance was within a circus tent. By 1997 the band had already performed at major music festivals throughout Europe. Düreforsög even provided support for Faith No More’s final visit to Copenhagen during the “Album Of The Year” tour in July 1997. Ex-Faith No More bassist Billy Gould signed Düreforsög to his record label Koolarrow Records in 2000, and in September Düreforsög were invited to perform a special concert in New York City. Between January and February 2003, Düreforsög supported Cave In for their tour of England, Norway and Sweden.

Düreforsög is Boriz Schiøler [Vocals], Nis Bysted [Guitar], Mads Heldtberg [Guitar], Jess Wolfsberg [Bass], and Andreas Hauer-Jensen [Drums]. Each member is involved in various Danish avant-garde side projects such as Ordkløver and El Hombre Invisible. The members of Düreforsög have contributed to independent films through script writing, set building, and sound design on “Covac” by Adam Hashemi Bønløkke, and feature on the soundtrack to “Pusher” and “Bleeder” by Nicolas Winding Refn. Düreforsög’s original music commissioned by the artist FOS has been featured in gallery exhibitions throughout London and Copenhagen.

Their first album “Knee” was released in April 1997 on Mega Records in Scandinavia, and contained almost every track written since the group formed. The style is avant garde metal. Düreforsög´s second album called Exploring Beauty was released in 1999 and showed a development towards avant garde rock and away from the avant garde metal of the debut. The last studio album from the band so far is Engine Machine from 2002. The band has not split up but is taking a long hiatus.”
