Our AI overlords inform me that the title of the Övervåld monitor we’re premiering right here as we speak, “Förruttnelse,” interprets into “putrefactive.” That wasn’t tremendous useful, so first I scolded AI as a result of it was “a needlessly advanced phrase for a easy concept ,” after which I insisted that AI “apologize for the phrase.” It got here up with “rot.” The sound of “Föruttnelse” is certainly rotten—HM-2 embalmed DM with some black steel cobwebs. The cool factor is that for all of its ferocity and ugliness, it has fairly a Celtic Frost swing to it. The accompanying red-hued efficiency video reveals the band—Alexander Cundell (bass), Rebecca Holm (vocals), Peter Engström (drums), Joachim Lyngfelt (guitars)—enjoying in one thing of a dungeon that appears to be woefully absent of rot, or “putrefactive” stuff.
The monitor is one in all 4 on Övervåld’s upcoming EP, Vigarv which shall be self-released on CD and digitally on April 20, with a vinyl launch to return later by way of Seven Metallic Inches. Place your preorder right here.
The band had this to say concerning the monitor:
“The lyrics describe a post-apocalyptic world the place humanity has been nearly fully worn out. The tone is grim, hopeless, and nihilistic — reinforcing the concept that nothing stays besides rot and dying.”
