STERBHAUS releases a very last music video on the 24th of April shortly after having the new album “Next Akin to Chaos” hitting stores around the globe. And much like every Sterbhaus music video the new “Whippersnapper” doesn’t disappoint as it is as hilarious as it is entertaining, cinematic and completely unique.

That little girl who buried birds and ended up stealing a dubious occupation in the fan favourite video for “Absolutely Do Not Die!” has now grown up. That was 12 years ago… and this is now.

Meet the Blizzard travelling robot “Abboth” (named for obvious reasons), join a trek across Stockholm with a hot-dog munching goat guitar “Hellmut the Goatard” and his Angus Young stomping thrashing buddy in the form of a well dressed crow… and watch it all burn in the end.

And try to spot the Candlemass “Bewitched” parody 😉

Simply put; this is truly a sight to behold! And much like the new album “Next Akin to Chaos” – a worthy epitaph as Sterbhaus now ends.

Sterbhaus is the Stockholm trio with members previously/currently active in bands like Shining, Elvira Madigan, Veile (Ghul of Mayhem side project), Ondskapt etc. Playing a concoction dubbed Metal Deluxe which is to be described as a timeless mash between Thrash, Heavy, Death, Black and Progressive Metal. After a full decade in the making, the latest offering “Next Akin to Chaos” really sports Sterbhaus at its very peak! Ironically! – since it is a Sterbhaus that now hammers down the very last nail and will never perform the album live.

On the 17th of October 2025 – Exactly ten years to the day – Sterbhaus finally released the full video footage of the entire show that became the Live album “Necrostabbing at Göta Källare” – An album that charted at #1 in physical sales in Sweden when released in 2021.
The show was professionally filmed with six cameras and was only ever aired through a streaming event on July the 9th 2021.

Marcus of Sterbhaus:
‘This is such a cool thing to watch – I mean we intended only to have the show filmed to have something else on the web other than hand held phone videos from the crowd. And we got a whole show when the band was at it’s peak after having toured with Vader, Melechesh and Shining. It’s also bittersweet – because we’d just released a terrific album and got cancelled from all the tours we had planned, got no festival bookings due to that and whatever we seemed to do to try to remedy that came back to bite us in the ass – like having the video for Bloodbarf banned for instance.’

Stockholm veterans Sterbhaus play Metal Deluxe which can be described as timeless Death, Thrash, Heavy, Black and Progressive Metal that is neither retro or modern. And Sterbhaus lines this with a heavy dose or dark wit humour.

The band is the home of Marcus Hammarström (previously Elvira Madigan 1998-2008, Shining and currently also in Veile – side project of Ghul from Mayhem), Jimmy Ahovalli and Erik Röjås (previously Ondskapt and Decadence). Started in 2007 as a five-piece and reformed several times since then, Sterbhaus ended up as a trio after having looked back on years releasing absolutely stellar albums, touring Europe (as support for Vader, Melechesh and Shining), South America and after having played several prestigious festivals such as Metal Town, Rock Harz, BlastFest, Extremefest which meant sharing the bill with Slipknot, Amon Amarth, Marilyn Manson, Behemoth, Opeth etc.

In 2025 Sterbhaus made a quite formidable return after a period of being fairly dormant and surprised the scene with the comeback single “Deth Bü Wolfe” which is the knuckle sandwich old/new/awaiting fans never saw coming.

The current status of Sterbhaus is actually quite unknown as the band announced its end in 2019 – while simultaneously making it very clear that there were still several releases to be made. One was the live album “Necrostabbing at Göta Källare” which achieved the unlikely feat of snagging the No1 sales position in Sweden for physical releases and No9 for all Metal and all formats!

While the debut “Angels for Breakfast …And God for Lunch” (2013) seemed to open most evert door the album “New Level of Malevolence” (2015) – although popular and praised when released, seemed to close those doors instead. Several cancelled tours, being banned for offensive videos (a ridiculous claim ofc), botched promotions, even more cancellations and one or two empty festival seasons together with personal issues put Sterbhaus in such a tight spot the band had a hard time bouncing back. Marcus Hammarström joined Swedish extreme metal titans Shining and toured extensively while Sterbhaus released the Christmas EP “Krampusnacht”. Eventually Marcus quit Shining to focus on the 2025 Sterbhaus album “Next Akin to Chaos”.

Either it will be a momentous epitaph or a new beginning.

Sterbhaus – The long running Metal Deluxe act from Stockholm (featuring previous members of Shining, Elvira Madigan, Ondskapt etc) have released a third and final single (out on July 16) before the highly anticipated new album “Next Akin to Chaos” is released.

Although the album – which will be the first in ten years, has no definite release date yet it is fair to say it will be a monumental Metal beast when looking back on all three singles released so far!

The new single “Master of the Hunt” should be a treat for anyone who enjoys the razor sharp and precise Extreme Metal of Dissections Reinkaos album and perhaps latter day Death – as it is basically Heavy Metal with Marcus characteristic sharp, witty and furios vocals alongside blistering Rock’n’Roll oozing solos. The song is inspired by the Netflix documentary “Wild Wild Country” which deals with the Rajneesh cult and their entertaining and completely “off the rails” approach to their commune when poisoning populations, arming themselves to the teeth with machine guns and bombing and attempting assassinations while at the same time throwing hilarios moral curve balls in media and basically having sex everywhere.

STERBHAUS (ex members of Shining, Elvira Madigan, Ondskapt etc) has released a new single for the song “Wrecking the World” accompanied by a video that should raise an eyebrow or two – if not for it’s hilarious message and visuals then at least for the fact that people actually died making the film the video contains clips from.

The “Wrecking the World” video contains footage from the infamous (yet now probably forgotten) disaster movie “Noah’s Ark” from 1928 which had people actually dying during the flood scenes – scenes that included a then unknown John Wayne hired as one of 7500 extras. 2,5 million litres of water were unleashed over people frantically trying to stay above the water line or trying not to be trampled. So if it looks like people are desperately trying to stay alive – they actually really are!

Three people drowned, one person had to have his leg amputated and almost a dozen suffered broken limbs and other serious injuries.

So why does Sterbhaus have a video with footage from Noah’s Ark?

Well… the song “Wrecking the World” is actually about just this hilarious and dubious tall tale, and that there happened to exist an old weird film that goes so well with the lyrical content is really quite the coincident. The video stays extremely true to the bands agenda. Vocalist/lyricist Marcus Hammarström explains:

“I’ve always wanted to do a song about Noah’s Ark – even before Sterbhaus. I mean, it really portrays like nothing else the ultimate stupidity of the human race when it comes to what man is ready to accept as facts in order to just not being interested in thinking anymore. And for those who know Sterbhaus – we totally love stupidity. It seems like the world is missing a point when not understanding that if you consider yourself Christian in any way – you actually ‘have to’ buy into this rubbish. Because the thing is;you can’t pick the raisings out of a doctrine and ‘decide’ whats true or not from the same manual. Either you’re in or you’re out. And this story proves that if you’re in – you’re an idiot.

Well, I’m telling you! We’re gonna have ball tossing around awesome statistics and hilarious memes the next couple of months!“

STERBHAUS returned in February earlier this year with the release of a total banger called “Deth Bü Wolfe”. This was the first single and video from the upcoming album “Next Akin to Chaos” (which does not yet have a release date) that will mark the first new full length from the band in a decade.

STERBHAUS started in 2007 and is the home of Marcus Hammarström (also in Mayhems guitarist Ghuls side project Veile, prev Shining, Elvira Madigan),  Jimmy Ahovalli and Erik Röjås  (prev  Ondskapt, Decadence) and even though the band announced its retirement in 2019 it was also made official that – apart from releasing the live album “Necrostabbing at Göta Källare” in 2021 (which actually charted at #1 for physical format in Sweden), the very last thing to happen was going to be the release of one more album. The coming album “Next Akin to Chaos” is that album.

STERBHAUS (ex members of Shining, Elvira Madigan, Ondskapt etc) has released a new single and video “Deth Bü Wolfe”. The last full length album was released ten years ago – so it is no understatement that this is quite an event!

“Deth Bü Wolfe” (spelling obviously intentional, and an ironic nod towards the over usage of sterotypes in Metal music in general) is the first new song from the upcoming album “Next Akin to Chaos” which at the time does not have a release date. The band promises this year to be full of tasty treats and blistering Metal – and “Deth Bü Wolfe” is the first offering.

According to vocalist/bassist Marcus Hammarström:

“This was obviously gonna be the first single even eight years ago when it was first written. It’s just such an immediate Sterbhaus classic and it’s chock full of hooks, riffs, solos and fierce spitting vocals. It’s all cranked up to eleven this time. There’s a weird marriage between tricky stuff and accessibility in all that we do and this proves just that… Hell, it’s catchy as most anything. If you don’t get hooked after the first “ugh” then you can’t possibly have a Metal in your blood.”

STERBHAUS is the home of Marcus Hammarström (prev Shining, Elvira Madigan), Jimmy Ahovalli and Erik Röjås (prev Ondskapt, Decadence) and even though the band announced its retirement in 2019 it was also made official that – apart from releasing the live album “Necrostabbing at Göta Källare” in 2021 (which actually charted at #1 for physical format in Sweden), the very last thing to happen was going to be the release of one more album.

“Deth Bü Wolfe” is now out on all major streaming platforms and it comes with a tasty video as well

You don’t want to miss this!!
