Vaiping are one of the most exciting groups among Norway's underground music scene. With their German inspired polar expedition-industrial-electronica-rock, we can draw parallels with artists such as Massive Attack, Tool, Bjork, Kraftwerk and Tom Waits. Their debut album "The Great Polar Expedition" is launched in March 2007 on Karisma Records. With this release Vaiping are aiming far beyond the Norwegian borders with their chilly Nordic sound - a sound which clearly has international potential. Visually Vaiping reinforce the industrial aspects of their music by appearing on stage dressed as oldfashioned boilermen smeared with coal and oil - something obviously outside the usual on a concert scene. Vaiping, from Stavanger, consist of four young gentlemen in their 20's. The band has existed for 7 years and Karisma Records is proud to release their debut album. Vaiping have for the last year been in Mansion studio in Stavanger and recorded the album "The Great Polar Expedition" which is released in March 2007.
