Producer / Engineer / Mixing / Mastering
Strand Studio was initially founded by musician, producer and engineer Marius Strand purely for enthusiastic reasons, but now among references are bands like Chrome Division (feat. members from Dimmu Borgir), The Wretched End (feat. members from Emperor, Dark Funeral), Susperia, Insidious Disease (feat. members of Dimmu Borgir and Old Man’s Child) and In Vain.
Marius Strand likes to play several musical instruments and dig deep into recording hardware and software. The soul purpose is to deliver the highest quality possible for a very fair price. No project is finished before the client is happy. All genres are equally welcome, even though rock and metal music have been most common. Services offered are production, tracking, mixing, mastering and video editing/production.

The first time I was recording at Strand studio I was really scared. It was the first time I had ever recorded clean vocals but Strand made me feel welcome and helped me get a better understanding of it, and the rest is history.

It’s refreshing when entering a studio where high-end drums, gear and everything else is set up in order and ready to go. It’s makes for a smooth process. A technician with good patience, well trained ears and persistence at all times is conditional for me be to be able to give my absolute best performance and M. Strand qualifies in all of these categories.
