Ym:Stammen was an ethnic-influenced
post-punk band from
Oslo,
Norway that released six albums. The group was founded in 1983 by
Trygve Mathiesen.
The music was a mix of
Norse-inspired chanting and primitive
rock, with some
pop elements. They labeled their music as Nordic stomp with hysterical lyrics influenced by philosophy, religion, and surrealism, put together by Mathiesen. The band toured Northern
Europe and
Canada throughout the 1980s and 1990s. With their Nordic pagan approach, the band had a big influence on the Norwegian
Black Metal scene. Ym:stammen gave their last performance on midsummer night in 1999 in Oslo.
In August 2022, they played a reunion concert at the Norwegian metal festival Midgardsblot in Borre.
