Oberst announce debut album ‘Paradise’
OBERST have announced their debut album!
Titled Paradise, the upcoming album from the Norwegian hardcore punk quartet is their debut effort and is scheduled to be released in January next year.
The Oslo-based hardcore/metal troupe blend their many influences seamlessly into a unique sound: their huge, warm and atmospheric riffs meet hectic, catchy elements driven by intense and at times manic vocals. At times relatable to MUTOID MAN, RED FANG, or KVELERTAK.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; titled Parting. The new song was first premiered via Dead Press. Speaking about the song, the band says, “Parting is a song about starting over. Excitement, anxiety, hope and longing for what is left behind share the emotional space in the song. As with any good adventure, there is a naive positivity about what lies ahead. It’s like the romanticised version of a roadtrip you have in your head, that tends to end up being a more taxing experience then first imagined. Soundwise, the song is a melancholic, yet big and hopeful anthem. The song peaks as electronic pop act PONETTE delivers the quirky, but still very impactful last lyrics of the song.”
