West Coast Heavy Metal!
We're proud to announce the we've finally found on witch shelf our music belongs. In a recent interview with musiq.no Ulve were asked what kind of metal we played. His response were instantly: "...We define our music as West Coast Heavy Metal, a mix between old school, trash and modern metal. I don't think anyone else is doing what we are doing in the same way we're doing it, but in future I hope WCHM are going to be a new sort of metal that we created and that other band will pick up and continue the legacy..." Sounds a bit( allot actually...) more arrogant then its meant to be, but we are sick and tired of all the different opinions about our music. This is the metal we play: WCHM, period.

Jingle (hells) bells!
The record are in the press now, and it will be available only in Desspo's online merch. shop.
It will be available on the first 4-5 live shows after release, but that’s it. What we will do however, is to give a 2nd
press later this spring as the first press will be more or less used for promo relations.
Anyways, thanks to all of you that took the time to vote for the next video.
We'll come back after Christmas with the song that’s gonna be used. The show 12 of Jan. will be filmed
to be used in whatever song that’s made it to video, so be sure to turn up to make a mess.....

So here we are, new year, new opportunities and new quests to concur. In lack of a second guitar-player and absence of a fifth member we´ve been busy writing new material. And exited as we are, we cant wait to get out there and play it for you guys. Video production seems to be more difficult than first admitted, but are ongoing as we speak. We are also busy booking studio-time for this summer to record some of our new material and will return with dates and info as we get closer. Be sure to log on to our home-page for the latest news and updates. See you soon out there!! -Ulve

Thank you everyone who showed up at Tribute last friday and made the gig real fun to play. It was great to see Thunderbolt do their classic metal so fucking good and that they could party as good as well...flash flash guys!!

29.09.05
The gig at Metropolis went in ordinary Desspo style even thou a bit to few of the local
metalkids showed up. What is more important is the fact that we filmed and
taped it all, and that will be done at Tribute Friday 7th of October as well.
Just show up to participate in our video with maniac slamming and headbanging...

01.09.05
If you want to help Desspo kicking ass outside Norway you can write some nice words about us here and maybe get us to Sweden rock festival. Thanx!!!

Hi there MoFos!

Here we are again mo fos, Desspo did a good show in Oslo at Rock In, but I'm sorry to say that to few came to check us out. PR has to be blamed for that, but then again we played 2 weeks after Inferno so its possible that people were a bit sick of metal and live shows at the moment. We will be back, we will return, we will roll all over you again this fall, so watch out for us in a club near you. Metals up...

Greetings mo fos!
Our release concert for "Obscured.." is one of the best we ever done.
Everything seemed to fit, and the cover tune we presented really thru
people as we thought it would. Altho we had some technical problems in
the beginning and the pyro started a small fire and made the light
engineer go apeshit , everything went just fine. Desspo would also like
thank our good friends of Deathfare and K(nine) for making the event
memorable with their support and music performance. Special thanks to
Arvid of K(nine) for stepping in as a sound engineer and saving the
night audiowise. And to you trusted fans who showed up; thanks for
making the gig as good as it got. We hope we gave you what you wanted;
namely Pure Fucking Metal...!!!

We had one hell of a night last night with Deicide as we

Desspo hope he will be the one to stretch the
bass-strings in propper Desspo maner,
for a long time ahead.
We salute you! Welcome to Desspo!

disgusting pop-music wins the deal. Now go vote!!!



Doctor Torp
"Bass Doctor Torp" is the guy who will help Desspo in the making of "Serenades of metal". He plays in differen bands
but most of you will know him as a
member of Lowdown.



Video release canceled!
Video release at Folken August 12. is canceled! Tryllefilm who makes the movie is delayed in the making an in that matter
we just have to wait . Things like this sucks big time
but the final result will hopefully be worth
waiting for. More info to come later!!




Frodo has left the arena!
Frodo is no longer a member of Desspo(take care our friend)
and in that matter we need a new bass player. As known
we are working in studio these days and if YOU are
an experienced bass player and want to join
in, please contact us immediately!



Finally a new recording!
Desspo hasn't got a new guitar player yet but we will continue with just Arni axing the tunes. With that setting we have
booked Studio Valhalla to record new material.
We will enter the studio 16 of june and
will not return to society until the
deed is done. It will be heavier
and faster than ever.  
If you are horny for a jam
and think that you are the right guitar
player for Desspo, feel free to contact us! We´re
planning gigs as well, so keep your ears and eyes open. 
See you soon all of you headbanging mother fuckers....!!!!!!
