After turning heads with the relentless 2024 EP Råtner på rot, Jordsjuk are back with their full-length debut: Naglet til livet (translates to ‘Nailed to life’). Across twelve tracks and 36 minutes, the band delivers a visceral strike of raw, uncompromising metal, free of gloss, gimmicks and nonsense.

“Naglet til livet is a kaleidoscope of destruction, decay, and ugliness”, the band states. “From the thrash-fueled chaos of “Grovt skadeverk” and the suffocating aggression of “Parasitt”, to the punk-driven decay of “Rennestein” and the gloomy introspectiveness of “Svikter den neste”, this is the sound of filth, concrete, ruin, and rage. Twelve tracks of in-your-face, riff-driven and organic metal.”

Darkness from within
Jordsjuk consists of Renton (drums), Mannevond (vocals), Sagstad (guitars), and Larsen (bass), seasoned musicians from the Norwegian underground. Their sound sits somewhere between black, death, thrash, punk, and rock, forging a sonic identity as raw as it is deliberate. The lyrics, written in Norwegian, dive into personal collapse, trauma, and apocalyptic despair, delivered with uncompromising honesty.

From the very first track, “Kollaps” (‘Collapse’) it’s clear this is not for the faint-hearted. A death metal-driven opener drenched in dread and doom, the band describes it as “the soundtrack to our downfall”, fast, harsh, and devastating.

“Riv skorpen av såret” (‘Tear the scab off the wound’) plunges into black metal territory, with blast beats and tremolo guitars underpinning lyrics about reliving old wounds and clinging to pain. “Skreddersøm” (‘Tailor made’) is intense and direct, and according to the band “best enjoyed with clenched fists,” while “Rottebitt” (‘Rat bite’) provides a 2-minute fix of bitter, stringent aggression.

Toward the album’s end, “Klarhet og dybde” (‘Clarity and depth’) stands out as one of the most demanding yet cathartic moments, a sonic plunge into icy waters, where clarity is found only after enduring the cold. “Svikter den neste” (‘Betray the next’) slows things down and deepens the darkness, exploring betrayal as a recurring cycle. The album concludes with its title track, Naglet til livet, a complex and unforgiving hybrid of death and black metal, digging into the inescapable burdens we carry through life.

Everything in its right place
Drums were recorded at PhatCat Studios (Rygge, Norway), with the rest captured at various locations in Oslo. Mixing was handled by Kurt Ballou (Converge) at God City Studios (Salem, MA), while Brad Boatright took care of mastering at Audiosiege Studio (Portland, OR). The result is exactly what it needs to be: dirty, sharp, and heavy.

“Jordsjuk is necro music for necro times,” says the band, and after hearing Naglet til livet, it’s hard to disagree.

The band has already played this year’s by:Larm festival and Midgardsblot in 2025, and it’s on stage that their sonic violence truly takes over. More shows are coming in 2025 and 2026, and even before its release the album is already receiving outstanding reviews.

Upcoming shows:
03/10 Vaterland, Oslo – release show
24/01 Kulturhuset, Bergen
14/03 Heimfall Metallkraft, Sauda

JORDSJUK unleash their new single “Til ettertids plage,” a track that drags the listener straight into their world of rust and dissonance. Heavy, groovy and unrelenting, it highlights a new facet of the band while holding firmly onto their raw and uncompromising spirit. This is the final taste before the debut album Naglet til livet, set for release on September 19 via Indie Recordings.

Listen to the single here: https://ffm.to/ettertidsplage

Rooted in Norway’s underground metal scene, Jordsjuk is a gathering of hardened musicians from established acts that have left their mark on the Norwegian black metal landscape. Drawing strength from the traditions of the genre, they inject their riffs with a unique groove and weight that sets them apart. “Til ettertids plage” exemplifies the band’s ability to turn chaos and dissonance into something irresistible, a track that balances sheer brutality with a seductive energy.

– “With Til ettertids plage we wanted to put the filth into words. The song is groovy and infectious, yet raw and uncompromising. It shows a new side of Jordsjuk, while staying true to our foundation: riff-driven metal from the underground – dissonant, corroded and decayed.” the band says.

Jordsjuk has already made a strong impression live. Following an intense performance at Midgardsblot 2025, they are set to take the stage at by:Larm festival (September 12) and Vaterland, Oslo (October 3), with more dates to come.

Metal Injection has hailed Jordsjuk as “one of Norway’s most promising new groups.” With “Til ettertids plage,” the band raises the bar high ahead of their debut album in September. This is music for dark times: primal, uncompromising and dangerously catchy.

On June 13, JORDSJUK released Parasitt – a sonic infection and the third single from their upcoming debut album Naglet til livet. This isn’t a song. It’s a condition. A blackened metal assault that gnaws at the flesh, claws through the mind, and seeps deep beneath the skin.

Listen to the single here: https://ffm.to/parasitt

Parasitt is a deep dive into existential, gut-wrenching ugliness. It’s about being trapped in filth, in thought – in everything that makes you hate existence, the band says. And it’s hard not to believe them. This isn’t music for sunny days. This is the soundtrack to sleepless nights and inner collapse.

Jordsjuk rise from Norway’s abyss with their most unforgiving track to date. A concentrated blast of raw nerve and dark matter, where black metal, death, and punk collide in a toxic brew. Forget melody. Forget harmony. This is suffocating riffs, feral vocals, and a rhythm section with no regard for your well-being.

This is one of the most uncompromising tracks on the album. This is distilled sonic disease.

Drums were recorded at PhatCat Studios, Rygge. The rest, guitars, bass, and vocals were tracked across various locations in Norway. It was then sent to Salem, Massachusetts, where Kurt Ballou (Converge) handled the mix at God City Studios. Mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege in Portland, giving Parasitt the heavy, unfiltered finish it deserves

Jordsjuk is Renton, Mannevond, Sagstad, and Larsen, four hardened individuals from Norway’s underground. Their music doesn’t ask for your approval; it lunges straight for the throat and refuses to let go.

Parasitt offers yet another glimpse into the most extreme corners of Naglet til livet, their debut album set for release in fall 2025. And as the band themselves put it: Necro times call for necro music.

You’ve been warned.

Jordsjuk have released Grovt skadeverk, the second single from their upcoming debut album Naglet til livet, due in fall 2025. The track is a thrashy, rebellious outburst of aggression – an unapologetic anthem of unrest, destruction, and vandalism.

Jordsjuk is made up of seasoned musicians from the Norwegian metal underground, known from bands that have left a lasting mark on the scene. Together, they’ve forged a new beast with a single mission: to preserve the most uncompromising, riff-driven, and raw legacy of metal – and drag it into the present, fists first. Musically, Jordsjuk draws from the primal corners of black, death, thrash, and punk, fusing it into a sound oozing with contempt and violent energy.

Their debut EP Råtner på rot, released in 2024, was described by Dagsavisen as “one of the year’s hardest-hitting sensations.” With their first single Rennestein, mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge) in God City Studios, and mastered by Brad Boatright (From Ashes Rise) at Audiosiege, the band quickly gained recognition as one of Norway’s most promising new extreme metal acts. The same technician duo returns on Grovt skadeverk.

“”Grovt skadeverk is the sound of vandalism and destruction. Our most thrash-driven song to date. Hungry, violent and ugly!” says the band.

Drums were recorded at PhatCat Studio in Rygge, while guitars, bass, and vocals were tracked at various locations in Oslo. The result is a sound boiling with tension and intensity – a blistering piece of modern extreme metal.

With Grovt skadeverk, Jordsjuk bares its teeth: raw, riff-fueled, and unrepentant. This is the sound of a rising Norwegian threat finding its full force.

Naglet til livet drops fall 2025. With a no-compromise approach to riff-driven metal and lyrics steeped in desperation and decay, the album sets the tone for the band’s path forward.

From the cold and ugly streets of Oslo, Norway, Jordsjuk emerge with Rennestein—a filthy, rebellious anthem that drags you straight into the gutter. With a sound rooted in black metal, death, thrash and punk, Jordsjuk channels the raw and unfiltered energy of Norway’s underground, delivering a ferocious blend of groove, grit, and grim atmosphere.

Behind the new name stands a lineup of hardened musicians, with their backgrounds in a number of bands that have made their mark on the Norwegian extreme metal scene. Now Jordsjuk is ready to claim their place. No gimmicks – just pure, primal and unrelenting metal.

Rennestein offers a glimpse into the band’s upcoming debut album, showcasing its groovier, punk-tinged side. The Norwegian lyrics paint a bleak picture of downfall and decay—a world of urban rot and personal collapse. It’s a soundtrack to life on the edge, where defeat is a daily ritual and the ruins are all too real.

“We proudly present Rennestein, a raw and punk-inspired track that sets the tone for the album. It’s a journey through concrete, sewers, and pissing rain—capturing the fall from grace and the harsh realities of life on the margins,” the band says.

Though new in name, Jordsjuk have already made noise. Dagsavisen dubbed them “one of the hardest-hitting sensations of 2024,” and their debut EP Råtner på rot quickly gained attention, with Metal Injection calling them one of Norway’s most promising new acts.

Debut Album ‘Naglet til livet’ – Coming Fall 2025

Jordsjuk now look ahead to their debut full-length Naglet til livet, set to drop fall 2025. With a no-compromise approach to riff-driven metal and lyrics steeped in despair and destruction, this album sets a brutal new standard. If Rennestein is any indication, the full record will be a relentless, groove-laced descent into the darker corners of the human condition.
