Video Premiere: Övervåld – “Förruttnelse”

Metal

Our AI overlords tell me that the title of the Övervåld track we’re premiering here today, “Förruttnelse,” translates into “putrefactive.” That wasn’t super helpful, so first I scolded AI because it was “a needlessly complex word for a simple idea ,” and then I insisted that AI “apologize for the word.” It came up with “rot.” The sound of “Föruttnelse” is indeed rotten—HM-2 embalmed DM with some black metal cobwebs. The cool thing is that for all of its ferocity and ugliness, it has quite a Celtic Frost swing to it. The accompanying red-hued performance video shows the band—Alexander Cundell (bass), Rebecca Holm (vocals), Peter Engström (drums), Joachim Lyngfelt (guitars)—playing in something of a dungeon that seems to be woefully absent of rot, or “putrefactive” stuff.

The track is one of four on Övervåld’s upcoming EP, Vigarv which will be self-released on CD and digitally on April 20, with a vinyl release to come later via Seven Metal Inches. Place your preorder here.

The band had this to say about the track:

“The lyrics describe a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has been almost entirely wiped out. The tone is grim, hopeless, and nihilistic — reinforcing the idea that nothing remains except rot and death.”
