Djerv release new song ‘Throne’

DJERV have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Throne, is the brand new single from the Norwegian band and is their first new music in almost a decade.

Lyrically, the song has very different approach, telling the story of the band’s sudden disappearance back in 2013. “Today it’s almost impossible for me to understand how bad I felt at times,” vocalist Agnete Kjølsrud says. The strain of carrying two children in less than two years, combined with serious health issues sent Agnete spiraling down into deep depression, eventually landing her in the psychiatric ward. “I totally lost my footing in life, and for years I was unable to function normally. It is still a fight, and I am not fully recovered – but I know now that I will get there.”

“Too many people go through this, and the stigma around the disease that is depression is still all too present. So, I wanted to be open about my experience, and hopefully help others struggling to realize they are not alone. That it is not their fault, and that it can, and will get better with time. Throne is about fighting yourselves, your mind, and reclaiming control of your life. Reclaiming the Throne, and again be the ruler of your own kingdom.”

With the band back with their new single, the remainder of this year will also see at least three more DJERV singles and video releases, and an album is also in the making. “We don’t have a set release date for a new album yet. As things are now we just have to take it song by song. But that’s quite interesting and it makes it easier to focus. The task in front of you is not too unachievable, as I feel an album would be at this point. Baby steps,” comments Agnete.
