Sarepta
Country: Norway
Genre: Hard Rock/Heavy Metal
Sarepta is a classic heavy metal band from the West coast of Norway. The band is a quartet that plays tribute to its influences; comprising Jerusalem, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy and Rainbow. The group can trace its history to the early 2007 jam sessions between founding members Kristoffer Davidsen (lead guitar), Leif Johan Johannesen (rhythm guitar) and Odd Jarle Hovden (drums). The three did not put together the first Sarepta line-up until the summer of 2008 when it started performing live but later added a full time bassist, Johnny Nilson, and keyboardist, Made Pederson, prior to beginning work on its full length debut Smokin' Vineyard. Midway through the recording process, however, the group's vocalist at the time up and quit, leaving Mads Pederson to take on vocal duties.
