Kaizers Orchestra- Bak et halleluja(DEMO)

I'm taking requests for classic kaizers(including Gnom and Blod, Snått & Juling) now, just put them in a comment After the dissolution of frontman Janove Ottesen and guitarist Geir Zahl's previous band, gnom, the two decided to create a new band. Building off of the song "Bastard", Kaizers Orchestra was slowly formed. The first known concert featuring Kaizers Orchestra songs was held at a pub called Det Beste Stedet (The Best Place) in Sandnes, Norway. A whole week during the summer of 2000, Janove and Geir performed as Blod, Snått & Juling, gnom and Kaizers Orchestra on acoustic guitars, as summer jobs. The owner of the establishment, Osman, backed up the band on drums. Some of the songs that were played were called "Bøn fra helvete", "Ompa til du dør" and "Resistansen". After the band re-hired Rune Solheim, Jon Sjøen and Helge Risa, they recorded a 14-track demo. Among the tracks recorded was a different version of "Bastard", as well as three songs that were later scrapped; "Abstinenser", "Damplokomotiv" and "Stormfull vals". In 2001, a second guitarist, Terje Winterstø Røthing became a member of the band. After landing a deal with the independent label Broiler Farm, recording commenced for their first studio album. During this period, the songs "Bris", "170" and "Kontroll på kontinentet" were written and seemingly replaced "Abstinenser", "Damplokomotiv" and "Bastard" (whose organ riff is the same used on "170") respectively. "Stormfull vals" was dropped altogether.
