Rules of Engagement is a melodic metal-band from Kristiansand, Norway who started up february 2006. Since then our line-up has been changed slightly, and the band has recorded it's first promo that has just been released. RoE at this time is Kim-Arly Karlsen and Erik Evensen on guitar, Jarl Ivar Brynhildsvoll on bass and Thomas Farovig on drums. Bernt Fjellestad, the vocal on the promo decided to leave RoE after the recording and after some intense searc we found a new lead vocal. His name is Bob Mork, pictures and info on him will come:)

We have played live not to long ago and we will surely play a lot more live in the time to come around Norway and most likely in other contries if the opportunity comes. The most special moment for us was when the drum kit slipped on the floor so our drummer had to pull it back all the time and made the whole gig embarrasing. It was allso our first gig..;)
We have many diffrent metal and non-metal musical influences. Bands that are most important to us is:
Meshuggah, Anathema, Iron Maiden, Pantera, Linkin Park, Nevermore, Nightwish, Children of Bodom, Evanesence and ofcourse Metallica.
We use 6-string Washburn and Jackson-guitars at the time with Elixir 0,12 strings tuned to D to give it a heavier sound. We use a Yamaha 5-string bass and Mapex drum kit with Zidjan cymbrals.
Guitars uses Boss-soundboards, bass a Behringer effectboard and we use mostly Shure michrophones.
Most of our instruments goes through the bands PA-system from Studiomaster but when we have more money we hope to buy our own racks.
We hope the audience like what we do, and spread our name if its something of their taste! Then we will maybe one day play our music in their home town:)
