Ribozyme is a Norwegian hard rock band formed in 1998. It features progressive drum beats, emotionally strong guitars and an ever-changing vocal style. It has been classified as dark, but not Gothic; angry, but not violent; sad, but not tearful, not hard, but still heavy. [1]
After the release of their first EP in 1999, they were featured on the by:Larm festival which led to a massive increase in popularity and allowed them to release an album. In 2004, after two albums, two EPs and a single one of the guitar players quit, forcing the band to consider their future. They opted for not hiring another guitarist and instead re-wrote a lot of their old material and experimented with a new sound.
In 2005 the band went on their first European tour, after more than 100 concerts in Norway.
