Rising from the heart of Norway’s death metal scene, OSKAAL is proud to announce their signing with Wormholedeath label. Marking a new chapter in their sonic journey, the band is set to unleash their album, “(A)live,” on September 25, 2026.
OSKAAL is an emerging name in Norway’s extreme metal scene. The band delivers a sound that is both ferocious and deliberate. Bridging melody with raw aggression, and chaos with control. Their approach pushes beyond genre boundaries, shaping death metal into something visceral yet meticulously crafted.
At the heart of OSKAAL’s music is a dynamic interplay between melody and rhythm. Songs shift from moments of bleak disintegration to bursts of sheer brutality, laced with sardonic black humor. The rhythm section drives with precision and power, while contrasting guitar styles collide in rare synergy. Analytical and emotive. Technical, yet always serving the song.
Frontman Ole Stensgård commands with a voice that doesn’t just scream, but conjures. He channels something ancient and unsettling, delivering every phrase with a conviction that borders on ritual. His range stretches from guttural depths to piercing shrieks, but it’s the intent behind each sound that leaves a mark. His lyrics explore collapsing realities, forgotten gods, and the thin line between madness and revelation, painting nightmarish visions that feel alive in sound and spirit.
OSKAAL doesn’t follow trends or chase virtuosity for its own sake. Their sound is a carefully balanced blend of aggression and thoughtfulness, carving out a distinctive and compelling voice within the Norwegian and global death metal movement.
