Israelvis
Israelvis is a Norwegian rock band from Trondheim formed in 1988 by members of Angor Wat, a punk band that had just broke up.
History.
In the first year, the band consisted of Tor Egil "Gillo" Ingebrigtsen (bass), Viggo Mastad (guitar), Bård Noodt (vocals), and Jens-Petter Wiig (drums), but by the time the second album "Half Past Heaven" was released, Noodt was no longer with the group, and Mastad had taken over
the album “Albino Blue” in 1993. The following albums “Church of Israelvis” (1994) and “Eurosis” (1996) became fan favorites and in 2005 the band released their so far last album, "The Israelvis Effect". 
Although controversy surrounding their name followed the band through their career it wasn't until the release of the mini album 'Church Of Israelvis' in 1995 it had any greater effect. The cover, showing a young Elvis Presley with a bloody Star of David on his forehead
