Årabrot announce new album ‘Of Darkness & Light’

ÅRABROT have announced a new album!

Titled Of Darkness & Light, the upcoming album from the Norwegian noise-rock project is the follow-up to 2021’s Norwegian Gothic, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Pelagic Records.

The upcoming album was recorded entirely at Djura Missionshus, a.k.a. The Church of Årabrot – the first album to be recorded entirely in the church. Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song lifted from the upcoming album; You Cast Long Shadows.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist/keyboardist Karin Park says, Kjetil [Nernes, vocals/guitars] was asked to write a song for SEBASTIAN BACH’s new album. We weren’t too schooled up on SEBASTIAN BACH to be honest, but Kjetil thought it would be interesting to write a grungy Crowleyan occult murder ballad. He spent a few days in the studio and wrote two demos which were both immediately rejected by SEBASTIAN BACH’s management. One of the demos was You Cast Long Shadows. It’s probably a better fit for ÅRABROT anyway!”
