We made god

We Made God are the latest Icelandic band to step up to the mark and their debut album delivers soaring, epic, driving rock of the highest calibre.

The fourpiece are early 20-something’s Maggi (vocals, guitars), Arnór (guitars), Stuni (bass) and Biggi (drums). From the gentle introspection to brutal noise of album opener Gizmo to the pyschedlic riffing of the Deftones-esque Bathwater and the gentle floating guitars of The Color, “As we sleep” was entirely produced by We Made God and shows a band at the height of their powers.

By turns epic and gentle, the band merge intelligently crafted rock songs with the unique and powerful vocal take of Maggi. An established live draw in their home country, We Made God will be touring the UK in late 2008. Check their Myspace - www.myspace.com/wemadegod - for more details. 

Live review (4/5)

An hour later, Gaukurinn fills out ignificantly for Hafnafjordurs WE MADE GOD (KKKK),
Whose commanding blend of Sigur R&oacutes ambience, Deftones' wighty dynamics and a propulsive rhythm section make this fledgling band a thrilling prospect to watch.
Playing songs from their forthcoming album, As We Sleep, the band's frontman Maggi - a handsome hybrid of Biffy Clyro's Simon Neil and Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl - yelps, screams and pushes his voice to the heights of the Aurora Bornealis twinkling in the nighty sky."

As we sleep Review

Q Magazine 4/5 (Q recommends)
A big noise in their native Iceland, We Made God deserve a wider audience for their self financed , self-released debut.
Referencing the otherworldly ambient atmospherics of Sigur Ros and Deftones’ driving, muscular riffs,
the quartets epic widescreen soundscapes and frontman Maggi keening vocals are by turns beautiful and harrowing.
An audacious debut.
