Ved Buens Ende is a Norwegian avant-garde metal band. Their sound is diverse with quiet instrumental jazz influenced sections and aggressive black metal blast beats and vocals. Ved Buens Ende means "At the end of the bow" referring to the mythological rainbow Bifröst.
History Ved Buens Ende was formed in Oslo in 1994 by the drummer Carl-Michael Eide. They were signed to the British label Misanthropy Records. The band was unique by their mixture of many musical elements and Eide's crooning. The band split up in 1997, after releasing only one full-length album Written in Waters. They were, for some time, reincarnated in the form of the band "Virus" (formed by Carl-Michael Eide in 2000), with similar musical elements. Reunion? On April 26, 2006, Blabbermouth.net announced that Ved Buens Ende has reformed, and are working on new material. Along with Vicotnik and Carl-Michael Eide, who now plays guitar instead of drums, there are two new members; Petter "Plenum" Berntsen on bass and Einar "Esso" Sjursø on drums. They are also members of Carl-Michael Eide's band "Virus". Many fans of the band were surprised by the absence of Hugh Mingay (aka Skoll), whose place was taken by Petter Berntsen. The band's drummer, Einar Sjursø, had this to say about the band on blabbermouth.net.: "We will record a new album this year, to be released in 2007 by an as-yet-undetermined label (interested parties get in touch) and we also aim at playing live, where we will perform material both from 'Written In Waters' and the post-VED BUENS ENDE project VIRUS 'Carheart' album plus of course new compositions. The new material is being developed at the moment and will differ from both 'Written In Waters' and 'Carheart' yet still retain the trademark off the wall guitar sounds of those releases." Ved Buens Ende also recently posted the rehearsals of a number of new songs, among which were "Flux, The Fluent" and "Shame Eclipse" on their official Myspace page which surprised and were cheerfully accepted by the fans of the band.
