Arabrot

   Arabrot by GOLDSTARPR

Årabrot are a band continually evolving into something more raw and intriguing. Released six months after their UK (and Grammy nominated) debut ‘The Brother Seed’, new album Revenge is a grinding sonic document, closer to the compositional techniques of experimental film and theatre than traditional song. It is an album marking a certain closure for the band, yet makes headway towards a new era, one characterised by Årabrot’s secret vendetta and assault on music in general.

Revenge is an album capturing the band’s punishing sound head on -- Vidar Evensen’s throbbing drum torrents collide perfectly with the twisted guitar aggression and caustic vocals of Kjetil Nernes and the noise Fx of regular collaborator, Stian Skagen.

Årabrot represent quite a different breed of metal establishing itself in our most northern outpost. Fuelled and educated on a diet of Amphetamine Reptile’s roster (The Jesus Lizard, Karp and the Melvins) Årabrot are at the forefront of a scene that holds no preconceptions of what it is to be normal. They are a force unto themselves. What other band would complete a nine-day tour after the vocalist blew a lung at the first show?

Årabrot represent for this generation what the sum of Melvins, Birthday Party and Swans was to the generation before; a source of pleasure from both auditory and moral excesses.
