In an audacious twist to the black metal scene, Fysisk Format Records is set to unleash the debut album “Jeg blir til deg” from Oslo’s own ROSA FAENSKAP on November 3rd, a trio that’s rewriting the rules of the genre.
Is ROSA FAENSKAP just a band? No, it’s a freaking revolution cloaked in music. They’re a vibrant contradiction to black metal’s dark, testosterone-fueled legacy, championing a world where queerness and equality aren’t just accepted but celebrated.
Think less corpse paint, more rainbows and eyeliner. Their sound? A high-octane blend of lightning-fast drums and melodic bass lines, all wrapped up in a guitar-led sonic dreamscape.
Hailing from Blitz, the famed cultural breeding ground of 80s legends like So Much Hate and Kafka Process, ROSA FAENSKAP are cultural warriors. Blending the raw energy of political hardcore with a kaleidoscope of black metal, post-rock, prog, and shoegaze, they craft a sound that’s at once beautiful and jarring. They’re the musical embodiment of mixing honey with vinegar – an audacious flavor that’s set to drive black metal purists to the very brink.
Jeg Blir Til Deg
The birth of ROSA FAENSKAP is as unconventional as their sound, born from a wild night in 2021. Guitarist Emil and bassist Håvard stumbled upon drummer Anders, out cold in a garbage can (we’ve all fucking been there), yet miraculously balancing a hot dog in each hand. “Right there we knew we’d found the perfect guy to handle the sticks” says Emil and Håvard. With Anders on the drums, ROSA FAENSKAP isn’t just a band – they’re a god damned force of nature, ready to take the world by storm.
