Nordjevel GNAVHÒL

ANNOUNCEMENT AND PRE-ORDER

We are happy to announce that our upcoming album "GNAVHÒL" will be released the 23rd of September 2022.

Scandinavia is so righteously dotted with distinct extreme metal sounds, infamous scenes, stylistic movements, and flamboyant historical figures that slightly less ‘old ways’ begin to age poorly as the referential nature of modern black metal picks clean untended corpses with revisionist likening. Nordjevel initially appeared as a sort of recreation sect intent upon the late 90’s and early 2000’s ultra-militance popularized by the cold brutality of groups such as Marduk, Zyklon, and Dark Funeral. There are of course a thousand more names to toss in the pot as ‘norsecore’ became a catch-all phrase meant to insult the less than original overpopulation of brutal Nordic black metal acts. The original idea posited by the duo of Doedsadmiral (Svartelder, Doedsvangr) and Nord (Fatal Impact, Tvangeste, Varde) was distinctly Norwegian and dryly brutal enough to be placed solidly within that vein by default, as they were joined by ex-members of Marduk and Ragnarok. Many people see such a form of accessible, clean and hard hitting black metal as typical or ‘standard’ Norwegian black metal fare but this is a fallacy engineered by the most surface level appreciation of that nations output. High fidelity and a certain standard of technique is not necessarily a curse to be upheld but, all things wither and reshape in situations of such intense darkness; It’d seem that Nordjevel now serves as a vessel for displaced black metal artists who notably excel in that most brutal black metal arena as they piece together an exemplar form with ‘Necrogenesis’.
