COR SCORPII
MONUMNET & ATTARGANGER

Cor Scorpii was formed in late 2004 by former Windir/Ulcus keyboard player Gaute Refsnes. After the tragic death of Terje "Valfar" Bakken and the following Windir farewell concert, the time was right to put some of his own musical ideas into a new band, thus Cor Scopii was borned. In july 2005, Cor Scorpii entered Studio 1184 and Amla Metal Studio, in order to record their first demo. "Attergangar" consisted of 4 tracks of extreme metal, with emphasis on melodies, aggression and atmospheres. The demo was highly praised by both fans and press, and was among other things awarded demo of the month in Metal Hammer Germany. The demo also caught the attention of various record labels, and Cor Scorpii signed a deal with Dutch label Descent Productions. In july/august 2007, time had come to record the debut full-length album. Cor Scorpii entered Børge Finstad's Top Room Studio, where the album entitled "Monument", was recorded and mixed. The album was mastered in the renowned studio Tailor Maid. As things didn’t work out with Descent Productions, and there was a lot of demands from fans as well as distribution companies to obtain the album, Dark Essence records decided together with the band to re-release the album with the “Attergangar” demo as bonus tracks.
