CMU Approved

Approved: Årabrot

By | Published on Thursday 19 August 2010

Noise-rock has become something of a fashionable genre of late. And while there’s nothing wrong with the likes of Health and No Age, you never get the feeling that being around them might be a – ahem – health risk. And sometimes you need that extra edge, don’t you? Luckily, Norwegians Årabrot are here to deliver it.

The trio release their new album, ‘Revenge’, on 13 Sep via Fysisk Format, just six months after their last acclaimed LP, ‘The Brother Seed’. Brimming with the spirit of Melvins, ‘Revenge’ is thrillingly loud, Vidar Evensen’s drums shuddering underneath Stian Skagen’s effects noise and Kjetil Nernes’ screaming guitar and lung-tearing vocals – literally; the band recently completed a nine date tour, despite Nernes having blown (they don’t get specific about the medical details) one of his lungs during the first show. Told you they were a health risk.
