Wig Wam "Out Of The Dark (Japan, Avalon, MICP-11759)"

Wig Wam is a Norwegian glam metal band formed in Halden in 2001. Wig Wam's lineup—consisting of vocalist Glam (Åge Sten Nilsen), guitarist Teeny (Trond Holter), bassist Flash (Bernt Jansen) and drummer Sporty (Øystein Andersen)—has remained unchanged since the band's formation. The band's style mixes glam metal and hard rock with humorous lyrics and imagery.

Wig Wam had their international breakthrough in 2005 when they represented Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest held in Kyiv and placed ninth with the song "In My Dreams". Wig Wam split up in 2014, but reunited in 2019. The band enjoyed a resurgence in 2022 when James Gunn chose their song "Do Ya Wanna Taste It" as the opening theme for the HBO Max television series Peacemaker and featured "In My Dreams" on the soundtrack. Wig Wam has released six studio albums as of 2023. The band's slogan is: "Rock is the new schläger".

Out of the Dark is the sixth studio album by Norwegian glam metal band Wig Wam, released on 10 February 2023. The album was announced in December 2022, along with a release of the title track as a single. Out of the Dark was produced by the band's guitarist Trond Holter and recorded at his home studio, Spoon Bay Studios.

Following a resurgence in popularity after the band's song "Do Ya Wanna Taste It" from the Non Stop Rock'n Roll album was used as the theme song for the HBO Max television series Peacemaker and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in Norway, Wig Wam started writing songs for a new album in the first half of 2022. The album was produced by the band's guitarist Trond Holter, who along with singer Åge Sten Nilsen and bassist Bernt Jansen wrote a majority of the album's songs. Recordings took place at Holter's home studio, Spoon Bay Studio, in Halden.

Out of the Dark was released on 10 February, 2023, with three singles preceding its release: "Out of the Dark", "High n Dry" and "Forevermore". Wig Wam went on tour in support of the album both before and after its release, which included shows in Norway and their first tours in Australia and the United States.
