With inspirations from the resistance movement in Norway during the 2nd World War, the young metal band SABOTØR (Saboteur) offers you some hard-hitting and old-school metal.
Formed in 2024 by Rasmus Stenstadvolden Strømberg (bass and vocals), Andreas Remmen (guitar) and Elias Solemdal (drums), the trio started slamming out epic metal/punk tracks with the inspiration from bands like English Dogs, Brocas Helm and Warfare. All packed in the theme of the Norwegian resistance movement during the 2nd World War, with lyrics in Norwegian.
Their authentic sound attracted the attention from Dark Essence Records, and the band signed a deal for their upcoming debut album, which they are recording at Formkraft Produksjoner and the album will be mixed by Remi André Nygård (Morax/Inculter).
While we wait for them to finish the recording, the band is unleashing their first single, “Skyggens Frekvens”, today, on Tuesday the 4th of November. You can check out the single here: https://orcd.co/skyggens-frekvens
Sabotør has this to say about the track:
The title is in Norwegian and can be translated to “The frequency of the shadows”. The song is about saboteurs in Norway who during World War II communicated with allied forces using radio while hiding from the Germans in caves and huts. The lyrics are loosely based on the chapter “Med radiosendar på Loddo” (With radio transmitter on Loddo) from the book “Krigen og Austevoll 1940-45” (The war and Austevoll 1940-45), where two saboteurs have to take shelter from German soldiers after having operated a radio station in the forest where they reported in morse code about ships and the weather.
Sabotør will do a support gig at Hulen, Bergen on the 8th of November.
The riffs are rolled in with barbed wire, and each song delivers dynamite, vandalism, espionage and sabotage!
