Kaizers Orchestra most popular chords and songs

Våre demoner is the fifth studio album by Kaizers Orchestra, released on 27 April, 2009. The album consists of recordings of Kaizers Orchestra songs written for past albums which were never released due to various reasons. Eleven of the songs featured on the album were recorded anew for the album alone. The album's liner notes contain information and annotations regarding the different songs, and how their lyrics relate to the interconnected storylines of the lyrical universe of Kaizers Orchestra. The origin of the album can be traced back to 250 Prosent Tour during the fall of 2008; a special series of concerts held in both Scandinavia and Europe in which the band took a hiatus from their usual setlists, bringing back songs which had never been performed all that much as well as rarely performed numbers from their entire career. During the tour, the band agreed to record their favourite entries in their back catalogue of songs that were never recorded for any studio albums. Determined to keep it under wraps, the band released no information regarding the project. In early 2009, it was reported on the website of the band's official fan club, Dr. Mowinckels Akuttmottak, that the band had booked recording sessions in a small studio near Jæren, the hometown of band founders Janove Ottesen and Geir Zahl. In the second week of January, the band recorded eleven tracks, which were mastered and mixed in Duper Studio, the studio used for the recording of the group's first, second and third studio albums. Concurrently, parts of the recording sessions for "Die Polizei" were filmed by Zahl, which would later be released as a promotional tool for the album. After some speculation on the part of the group's fanbase regarding the purpose of the recording sessions, the band announced the release of Våre demoner in early February. The album was to be released in a set number of 6,000 compact disc copies (2,000 of which were digipaks) and an undetermined number of vinyl copies, to be removed from stores a week after its release. "Die Polizei" was released as the first radio single from the album. A one-week tour commenced after the release of the album. Upon release, despite some distribution troubles, the album debuted at the #1 spot of the Norwegian Top 40 album charts. Due to the limited release, the album dropped out of the charts after three weeks. Despite of the band's claim that all copies would be removed from stores, a small number of copies of the album are still found at select retailers to this day. "Under månen", a digital download bonus track for the album, enjoyed a one-week run on the Norwegian single charts, despite not being issued as a single. "Prosessen" was released as a second single for the album later that year, and was released together with a music video containing live footage shot during the tour for Våre demoner. "Medisin & psykiatri" was originally written for their third studio album, Maestro and was the first new song for the album. It was a staple of the band's setlists throughout 2004, and was brought back for the 250 Prosent Tour in 2008. The title track, "Våre demoner", was also written for Maestro, and was one of only two songs from the Maestro demo that saw an Internet leak and subsequent distribution, to the dismay of the band. "Die Polizei" was first performed in late 2001, only to remain a live-exclusive song and rejected for inclusion on their prior studio albums. "Fanden hakk i hel" was another song written for Maestro, of which the band had grown weary before the recording sessions for that album began, and thus, nixed. "Kavalér" was written in late 2001 or early 2002; Ottesen had little recollection of its conception. "Gruvene på 16" was a track originally written for Ompa til du dør, which the group decided was to similar to the musical style of gnom, the band in which some members had played previously. "Señor Torpedo" was written for Evig pint but was ultimately cut; the organ riff of the original version would later be re-used for "Knekker deg til sist", a song from Maestro. "Den sjette sansen" is the only track written for Maskineri featured on the studio version of the album, and was first performed in 2006, only to later become a regular staple of the sets of the 250 Prosent Tour. "Sonny" is a song with strong connections to the Evig pint universe, and features a chorus similar to "De involverte", which replaced "Sonny" on the final release of the album. "Prosessen" is a song which Ottesen had written as a single for Morten Abel, who was a huge artist in Norway at the time. Unfortunately, the demo he sent was somehow lost in the process and was never delivered to Abel. It was performed in the earliest days of the group, and was not included on Ompa til du dør, as Ottesen and Zahl realized that with its obvious hit potential and sound, it may have given the public the wrong impression of the band as a whole, not wanting to be known as one-hit wonders. "Stormfull vals" was performed as early as in 2000, and was recorded for the demo for Ompa til du dør. The song was written by Geir Zahl, who also performs lead vocals. Read more on Last.fm.
